Read on for some of the latest developments in cancer research.

  • Researchers say that after conducting early animal studies, the Zika virus, which is a serious health threat especially to unborn children, could help treat brain cancer.
  • Scientists and engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have invented a powerful tool called the MacSpec Pen that rapidly and accurately identifies cancerous tissue during surgery, delivering results in about 10 seconds—more than 150 times as fast as existing technology. Read more about this device in Science Translational Medicine.
