Attacking Rogue DNA to Fight Cancer

Scientists have discovered that some cancers have extra bits of DNA called ecDNA that help them grow and become resistant to medicines.

This rogue DNA acts like a hidden weapon, making tumors harder to treat, especially in aggressive cancers.

Scientists have found a new drug that could attack these bits of DNA and stop them from helping cancer grow.

This could be a big breakthrough in fighting cancer because it could help people who haven’t responded well to other treatments.
