New 2026 research links endometriosis to elevated ovarian and breast cancer risks. Here's what the science says and what women should do about
Know the key bladder cancer symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options. Learn what signs to never ignore, how diagnosis works, and what survival rates look l
Pancreatic cancer remains the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, after lung and colon cancers. The five-year survival rate holds at just 13%. Some estimates put the five-year survival rate even lower, at around 10%, making it one of the most lethal of all malignancies. Yet a meaningful proportion of cases are...
Something quietly changed in England’s E. coli story between 2016 and 2023, and most people didn’t notice. The number of cases from one particular type of the bacteria climbed year after year, almost without interruption, until the annual count had grown nearly tenfold in eight years. That’s not a blip. That’s a trend, and it’s...
Most of the vitamins you know as a “hair and nails” supplement have never made headlines in an oncology lab. For decades, biotin (vitamin B7) has lived quietly on the shelves of drugstores, associated mostly with thicker hair and stronger nails. It is not a dramatic nutrient. It’s not associated with cancer prevention or cancer...
There is a small organ sitting behind your breastbone, roughly the size of a walnut in adults, that most physicians have spent decades barely thinking about. Medical students learn that it matters intensely in childhood, training the immune system’s T cells, and then gradually fades into irrelevance as the body matures. By the time most...
Something has quietly shifted in oncology waiting rooms. For decades, a cancer diagnosis before age 50 was the exception – an anomaly that prompted immediate genetic counseling and a search for hereditary causes. Today, doctors describe a different picture. Patients are arriving younger. The average age at diagnosis for certain cancers has dropped by years...
There are few moments in recent memory that have stopped people mid-scroll the way a two-minute video from a small Alabama community did in late April 2026. It wasn’t a celebrity. It wasn’t breaking political news. It was a 15-year-old boy, sitting with his mom’s phone, speaking plainly about what it’s like to know you...
Regulators have spent decades assessing pesticide safety one chemical at a time, setting individual exposure limits, conducting isolated toxicology tests, and ultimately declaring each approved substance non-carcinogenic. It’s a process that appears rigorous. The problem, according to a significant body of growing evidence, is that it may be fundamentally disconnected from how human beings actually...
Barry Manilow has spent decades being the kind of performer people never forget. His voice. His showmanship. The songs that seemed to find you exactly when you needed them. So when photos surfaced this week of the 82-year-old smiling on the streets of New York City, something about the image hit differently than a typical...
Most people don’t find out they have pancreatic cancer until the cancer has already gone somewhere it shouldn’t be. There are no early warning signs to speak of, no reliable screening test to catch it quietly in the background, and no standard-of-care drug that has moved the survival needle in any meaningful way for decades....
Most of us know Roundup. That bright yellow bottle has lived in the garage for decades, or maybe in the shed at the family farm. You’ve seen it on the shelves of hardware stores, used it on a gravel driveway, or watched crop dusters lay it down over fields of corn and soybeans. For most...
