A molecular map of breast cancer identifies novel forms and provides a foundation for personalized treatments guided by a tumor’s molecular characteristics rather than standard pathology alone.
AI measurements of heart function from MRI scans are more strongly linked to how long patients live after their scan than measurements made by clinicians, according to new research.
Researchers have discovered that the time of day prostate cancer patients receive radiotherapy can influence their risk of developing long-term side effects for treatment.
As first treatments for liver disease MASH enter clinical practice, demand for accurate diagnostics and monitoring options grows. Two new studies outline new ways for non-invasive liver testing.
Antibiotics excreted by patients promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospital sewers, according to a new study. The insights may contribute to pinpointing the responsible antibiotics.
Breast imaging focused on calcifications may overlook valuable diagnostic information, a new study finds. The researchers suggest using 3D micro-CT to assess the surrounding tissue microenvironment.
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with eye tracking in virtual reality could one day help personalise treatment for millions living with chronic pain, according to new research.
Antibiotics may enter a country via airports, when travellers bring them for their own use. Can this contribute to the development of resistant bacteria? A new study assesses the extent of the issue.
Researchers have developed a new AI model to detect whether breast cancer metastasizes in areas near the chest, specifically the armpit lymph nodes, essential immune system filters.
Is a prostate cancer slow-growing and harmless, or aggressive and life-threatening? New research shows how blood proteins could reveal clues to prostate cancer risk more than a decade before diagnosis.
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has widely variable outcomes from one patient to the next. Now, researchers have created a new scoring system based on the activity of six different genes to help determine patient survival.
Why does the same medicine causes side effects in some people while others tolerate it well? In a new study, researchers utilized the Estonian Biobank to provide a more comprehensive picture.
For people hospitalized with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation, restoring the heart’s normal rhythm within eight weeks is associated with a lower risk of having another stroke, a study finds.
A Covid infection can affect a person's sense of smell or taste – but what about vaccination? New research investigated smell and taste changes after vaccination – with reassuring results.
A new study suggests that virtual reality (VR) and AI could be an effective tool to help women manage menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, insomnia, depression, and sexual dysfunction.
A new PET imaging approach detected 97.9% of lesions in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, potentially giving clinicians a more complete picture of the location and extent of a patient’s disease.
Choice of general anaesthetic for major surgery can continue to be based on patient and clinician preference, according to the largest ever trial comparing the two main techniques used in the NHS.
In some cases, an HPV infection persists and can develop into precancerous lesions or even cancer. A new study explores how these high-risk situations can be identified at an early stage.
Thousands of heart patients could be treated without having a metal stent permanently implanted in their arteries – according to research from the University of East Anglia.
