New Hope in Cancer Treatment
Australian company OxyLo has secured over $2 million to develop its cutting-edge cancer research technology.
Their creation, HypoxyCaps, are tiny bead-like implants that block oxygen and glucose in tumours, making them easier to treat with chemotherapy.
Researchers describe them as ‘mini black holes’ inside inoperable tumours. The funding, awarded by the US National Institutes of Health, will be vital in moving from lab tests to patient treatments. It’s early days, but this breakthrough could change countless lives.

My friends son has got exact same cancer as him and he’s just gone into palliative care to die.Got it same time, same age and same treatments but nothing worked. And he’s got 2 kids 7 and 11 who can’t understand their dads going to die so sad. And a mother who also can’t understand why this has happened to her beautiful only son, it’s so heartbreaking.
He had recently said it had come back.Nope he’s going to die!
