New research analysed exhaled breath to help doctors distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous lung nodules, supporting earlier lung cancer diagnosis.
DNA methylation patterns in blood could identify people at high risk of prostate or breast cancer up to eight years before diagnosis, Oxford Population Health researchers report.
The extent of overdiagnosis has been one of the most debated issues in breast cancer screening for decades. Now, a new study suggests that it is less of a problem than previously thought.
AI-enabled spatial analysis can identify patterns in routine pathology slides that may help clinicians identify which patients with pancreatic cancer are at greater risk of recurrence after treatment and surgery, a new study finds.
Monitoring blood test trends alongside unexplained weight loss can provide further clues about a patient’s risk of developing cancer, according to a new study.
A non-invasive urine test detected more than 9 in 10 bladder cancers in a large NHS study – and could reduce urgent cystoscopies significantly.
After treatment for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), patients often undergo prophylactic radiotherapy to prevent metastases in the brain. Now, a new study shows that MRI surveillance alone is enough, with fewer side-effects.
For many childhood cancers, chemotherapy is the only treatment option. A study explores the trade-off between life-saving treatment at a young age, and delayed side effects unfolding over a lifetime.
New research offers an explanation for why many men live with prostate cancer for decades while for others it turns lethal: The work identifies which processes cause DNA damage in most of the cancers.
A new study shows how FAPI PET/MRI can help detect the extent of tissue remodeling and fibrosis from endometriosis. This could improve diagnosis of the condition, even in difficult-to-assess areas.
In glioblastoma, the treatment order matters: a new study shows that administering cell immunotherapy before surgery to remove a brain tumour is significantly more effective than the other way around.
People with a psychiatric disorder after a traumatic event are more likely to have increased cardiovascular risks, such as non-fatal heart attack and stroke or cardiovascular death, a new study finds.
For infants, contracting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can be particularly serious and may cause severe breathing difficulties. A study shows that vaccination of mothers greatly reduces the risk.
Findings of a new study suggest that changes in the gut microbiome could be linked to Parkinson’s disease and may eventually help researchers identify new underlying mechanisms for the condition.
Temperature extremes can increase the risk of heart failure hospitalization, a new study finds. This underscores the need for health systems to respond to and prepare for environmental stressors.
“Rather than talking about ER-positive or ER-negative breast cancer, we need to view it as a spectrum”: a new classification approach could lead to more personalised treatments.
After shoulder replacement surgery, bone density around the implant declines over time, according to a new study. The findings highlight the importance of assessing osteoporosis before surgery.
An AI tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk, and identify more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening practices, according to a new study.
Overuse of reliever inhalers is associated with higher risks of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease in asthma and COPD patients, according to a new study.
