A complex between green-synthesized silver nanoparticles and chlorhexidine has shown explicit anti-tumor activity against human melanoma. A trustful concentration range was established in which the active agent was effective against the cancer cells but remained non-toxic to the normal cells. The findings were published in the open-access journal Pharmacia.

The introduction of two da Vinci 5 systems enhances surgery precision and safety, decreasing recovery times for patients. This innovative technology strengthens Huntsman Cancer Institute’s role as a leader in robotic surgical care.

A mathematical modeling study conducted in Germany suggests that ovarian cancer incidence could be reduced and healthcare savings boosted if women who have already completed their families were offered fallopian tube removal during any other suitable abdominal surgeries. Angela Kather and Ingo Runnebaum of Jena University Hospital, Germany, and colleagues present these findings on January 30^th in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.
