Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have found that Viagra, may help slow cancer spread by blocking cancer cells' access to cholesterol. While the findings are promising, scientists stress the drug is not yet a proven cancer treatment and clinical trials are still needed.

The little blue pill against cancer? Viagra shows surprising promise in new study

Could Viagra, the widely used drug for erectile dysfunction, become part of the fight against cancer?

A new study suggests that sildenafil, commonly known by its brand name Viagra, may help slow the spread of cancer by limiting the ability of cancer cells to use cholesterol—an essential component that helps them migrate and form new tumors.

Researchers say the drug's anti-metastatic effects could become even stronger when combined with statins, which reduce cholesterol production. The findings, published in the journal Cancer Research, also indicate that patients taking sildenafil showed improved survival rates.

While the research is promising, scientists emphasize that more clinical studies are needed before Viagra can be recommended as a cancer treatment.

Scientists are uncovering a surprising ally in the fight against cancer: domestic cats. A groundbreaking study has mapped the cancer-related genes of hundreds of cats, revealing that felines share around 90% of their genetic code with humans.

Researchers say many cancers in cats develop through the same biological pathways and genetic mutations seen in people, making them valuable for understanding the disease and developing future treatments. The findings could open new avenues for both human and veterinary cancer research.

Scientists at Imperial College London, UK have proved that a modern surgical knife dubbed iKnife can “smell tumours”, effectively detecting womb cancer within seconds.

This surgical knife can ‘smell tumours’, detects womb cancer ‘in seconds’: Here's how it works

Scientists at Imperial College London, UK have found that the surgical knife that can “smell tumours”, effectively detects womb cancer within seconds. The breakthrough could enable thousands of women to get an earlier diagnosis paving the way for “new diagnostic pathways”.

Womb cancer detection to get easier?

Scientists at the University College London, UK and Austria’s Innsbruck University have developed a more accurate predictive test that can detect the changes in cells which can lead to cervical cancer.

Authorities in Hong Kong have found eating biscuits can cause cancer after the city's consumer watchdog studied 60 different biscuits. The biscuits were pre-packed and had cancer-causing substances called glycidol and acrylamide both chemicals are carcinogens and have shown to induce cancer.

Eating too many biscuits may cause cancer, study finds

Researchers are testing the efficacy of aspirin in treating aggressive forms of breast cancer. For patients with triple-negative breast cancer, researchers hope the widely available and cheap drug can be combined with immunotherapy.
