New blood tests designed to check for multiple cancers in one go will be offered to NHS patients in some 200 GP surgeries in England as part of a trial. The aim is to detect hard-to-diagnose abdominal cancers, including liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancer, much sooner. These cancers are often found only after they have spread. The tests look for proteins or fragments of DNA in the blood that may signal cancer. Results could help doctors decide which patients with vague symptoms need further investigations.

The vaccine is personalized to a patient's tumor, and results from the Phase 3 trial are yet another example of the promise of mRNA vaccines in treating cancer. The new mRNA vaccine is waiting on FDA approval but has shown great promise in Phase 3 clinical trials. An experimental vaccine offers new hope to patients with melanoma, one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer . The pharmaceutical companies Merck and Moderna released the results of a Phase 3 clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of a personalized mRNA-based vaccine that, when combined with immunotherapy, reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 42 percent compared to treatment with the immunotherapy drug alone. Georgina Long, medical director of the Australian Melanoma Institute and the study's principal investigator, said in a statement that these results are "transformative" and "have the potential to make a foundational shift in how we treat patients with earlier-stage melanoma."

It's the latest in a growing wave of bets that AI companies are making on brain data. OpenAI's venture capital arm as well as Peter Thiel's Founders Fund are investing in Coherence Neuro, a startup developing a brain implant to detect and treat cancer . The investments are part of a $45 million seed funding round for Coherence and reflect Big Tech's burgeoning interest in brain data . Coherence's CEO and cofounder Ben Woodington says there is "growing synergy" between the big AI labs and companies building devices to decode the brain, known as brain-computer interfaces . "The idea of capturing data to train better models and use it to optimize treatments is going to be super important," he says.

Figure caption, Archie Goodburn said he'couldn't ask for much more' at this stage of his cancer research plea Swimmer Archie Goodburn has been successful in his efforts to improve brain cancer care for patients as the UK government announce new measures. The Scottish athlete, who was diagnosed with three inoperable brain tumours two years ago, met Prime Minister Andy Burnham after making a tearful TV appeal for more investment to be put into brain cancer research. After the meeting, Burnham announced a new national brain cancer clinical lead and promised a review of brain cancer progress and action to get patients treatment sooner. Goodburn, 25, thanked the prime minister and said all three of his requests have been promised to some extent but fleshing out needs to be done on the details.

There has been significant progress in using AI as a tool in the detection, prevention and treatment of cancer. There has been significant progress in using AI as a tool in the detection, prevention and treatment of cancer. Big tech says AI can find a cure for cancer. Alongside warnings about its ability to destroy humanity, artificial intelligence is also hailed for its potential to revolutionise health treatment. Just how far can it take us? June would be the last month she ever knew.
