IceCure's amazing tumor-freezing technology destroys breast tumors by freezing them into ice balls. Now, the company is targeting the number one killer-cancer in the US – lung cancer.

Researchers anticipate that adult and embryonic stem cells will soon be able to treat some of the world's most serious diseases. However, embryonic stem cells are still a controversial matter. An Israeli team has found a way to improve the production of new stem cells significantly.

While much has been written about the naked mole rat's longevity and cancer-resistance, its Israeli cousin, the blind mole rat, has not received the same publicity. However, a group of Israeli researchers is now trying to turn the subterranean rodent's natural cancer resistance into a cure.

“Killing cancer stem cells is the holy grail of cancer treatments and holds promise for complete eradication of cancer,” says Dr. Sarit Larisch. These are not words pronounced lightly; they follow more than a decade of research that could give hope to millions.

Israeli researchers have found evidence that people spending a lot of time chatting on their mobile phones have much more cell mutations, which leads to a higher risk of cancer.

It may not be much to look at, but in everything else the naked mole rat seems to reign supreme. Following extensive research into its surprising longevity, a study has now found the reason for the rodent's immunity to cancer.

The excision of tumors from the body often means complicated surgery with serious risks. InSightec, an Israeli biotechnology company, is working on a product that could mean the destruction of tumors without a single incision by "cooking" tumors inside the body.

Researchers at the Center for Fertility Preservation of the Sheba Medical Center in Israel have recently discovered the reason behind high rates of infertility in female cancer patients and have already begun testing a possible treatment.

An international study headed by Israeli researchers, may put an end to the invasive procedure involved in detecting stomach cancer. It is quite possible that in the near future, a device that can "smell" cancer on a person's breath will replace gastroscopy.

Man's best friend is known for its keen sense of smell and for centuries, dogs have assisted humans in sniffing out scents that the human nose cannot pick up. Now, an Israeli researcher has found that the canine sense of smell has another ability – sniffing out cancerous cells.

When 1,000 apparently healthy Israelis of a median age of 48 were screened at Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center for 11 of the most common cancers, 2.4 percent (24) were diagnosed at an early stage with malignancies and treated successfully.

A recent study done at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has found an enzyme that is responsible for triggering accelerated growth of breast cancer cells. The discovery may lead to new ways of treating and preventing cancer.

Recent studies in the field have cancer research have pointed to the fact that only some cancerous cells are involved in tumor growth. A new Israeli study has made great progress in isolating and treating these "cancer stem cells".

A common negative side-effect of some forms of cancer treatments is damage to the bone marrow, which could be lethal. A new treatment by Israeli company Pluristem just might be the solution to the deadly problem.

Floating on the Yarkon stream, which flows through Israel, is the yellow water lily. Hidden within the petals of this flower is a protein that can improve chemotherapy treatment for cancer, according to Israeli researchers at Ben Gurion University.
