The future of cancer treatment is here 🧬

A major clinical trial led by University of Sydney Professor Georgina Long AO has found a vaccine made from a patient’s own tumours, combined with immunotherapy, reduced the risk of melanoma recurrence or death by 42%.

“These findings are a foundational shift in our approach to cancer: harnessing the immune system in a more personalised way to reduce the risk of melanoma recurrence or death,” said Professor Long, Global Principal Investigator of the trial and Chair of the Trial Steering Committee.

“Having succeeded in melanoma, this proof of concept could mark the beginning of a foundational shift in how we treat cancer, helping patients remain cancer-free for longer.”

A wildlife rescue group says they've been overjoyed by residents hanging fruit garlands to help starving flying foxes across the state.

Since late September, a suspected starvation event has impacted Grey headed flying foxes across New South Wales, killing thousands and causing mothers to give birth to pups prematurely.

FAWNA spokesperson Kim Kilpatrick said residents have begun hanging fruit in trees in their backyard as an alternate food source for bats.

She said the simple gesture is helping bats and giving hope to wildlife carers.

"It's absolutely working," Ms Kilpatrick said.

"While they were being found on the ground, they're now returning to normal batty behaviour.

"What our communities have been doing, this is what gives us heart - gives us hope. and frankly, this is what is going to save this species."
