Genomic testing speeds patient accrual in high-risk prostate cancer trial

The NRG Oncology NRG-GU009 (PREDICT-RT) study evaluating intensified and de-intensified concurrent radiation regimens based on the genomic risk of patients with high-risk prostate cancer completed accrual and met its accrual milestone of 2,478 patients approximately two years earlier than the trial's anticipated accrual completion date.

Study identifies immune biomarkers for personalized therapies in pediatric germ cell tumors

A study conducted by the Molecular Oncology Research Center (CPOM) at Hospital de Amor in Barretos (formerly Barretos Cancer Hospital) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, has identified possible biomarkers that could guide the development of more personalized therapies for pediatric germ cell tumors (GCTs).

Study reveals how a little-understood protein contributes to blood vessel leakage

A new study from the University of Oklahoma reveals how a little-understood protein, CD82, contributes to blood vessel leakage, a process that initiates inflammation but becomes dangerous when it occurs during severe inflammatory diseases such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and COVID-19.

Study reveals early nicotinamide use reduces risk of aggressive skin cancers

A large U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs cohort study found that Nicotinamide use was associated with a 14% lower risk of new keratinocyte skin cancers, driven by a 22% reduction in cSCC and no reduction in BCC. The strongest benefit (56% lower risk) appeared when nicotinamide was started after a patient’s first skin cancer, with diminishing returns after multiple cancers.

Climate change is already driving heat mortality and massive economic losses

Researchers systematically identified just 20 studies directly linking human-driven climate change to specific health impacts and deaths worldwide. They estimate tens of billions in annual economic losses and warn of inequities in research leadership and data coverage.

AI model maps lifetime disease risks to transform future healthcare planning

Researchers developed Delphi-2M, a transformer-based AI trained on UK Biobank and Danish health data to predict and simulate lifetime trajectories for 1,256 diseases. It accurately forecasted long-term multimorbidity risks, generated synthetic health records, and highlighted comorbidity patterns while exposing key biases.

PANoptosis emerges as a promising strategy against liver cancer

Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains one of the deadliest cancers, driven by high recurrence and resistance to therapy.

Daily orforglipron GLP-1 pill achieves over 11% weight loss in global obesity trial

In a phase 3 trial, once-daily oral orforglipron induced significant, dose-dependent weight loss over 72 weeks in adults with obesity but no diabetes. It also improved multiple cardiometabolic markers with a safety profile similar to other GLP-1 receptor agonists.

KFF Health News' 'What the Health?': Ousted CDC officials clap back at RFK Jr.

Fired less than a month after being confirmed as head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Susan Monarez appeared at a dramatic Senate hearing this week alongside another ousted CDC official and directly contradicted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's earlier testimony about why she was fired.

New study uncovers why dispersed glioblastoma cells are more dangerous

A new study, led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, captured details of glioblastoma that had never before been seen and revealed a surprise finding: Glioblastoma cells that "cluster" together with other cells of the same type are less deadly than those that disperse from these clusters.

Oral microbiome linked to threefold higher pancreatic cancer risk

Twenty-seven species of bacteria and fungi among the hundreds that live in people's mouths have been collectively tied to a 3.5 times greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer, a study led by NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center shows.
