A new artificial intelligence system is capable of surpassing human experts in breast cancer prediction. The system provided absolute reductions of up to 5.7% in false-positive diagnoses and up to 9.4% in false-negative predictions of the disease.
Combining medications used to treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and migraines, with blood pressure medications reversed some aspects of breast cancer in mice at high risk of developing the disease due to the high-fat diets fed to their mothers during pregnancy.
Those with a higher body mass index who are given atezolizumab to treat cancer have an improved rate of survival, a new study reveals.
7.5 to 15 hours of physical activity a week can help reduce the risk of developing seven types of cancer, a new study reports.
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, commonly used to innoculate against tuberculosis and as a bladder cancer treatment, also appears to reduce the development of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study reports diseases such as cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes may have a genetic contribution of 5-10% at most.
Researchers have discovered a pair of drugs that work together to kill cancer cells and counter genetic mutations that cause diffuse midline gliomas.
Extra DNA is critical for maintaining cancer-causing gene activation and supporting the cancer cell's ability to survive.
Researchers identify a new cell mechanism that connects Alzheimer's disease and cancers.
Manipulating gut bacteria in mice before chemotherapy reduces the mental fog of "chemo brain."
Alterations associated with aging and cellular senescence may be linked to a decrease in cell proliferation, while cancer shifts towards increased cell division. The study challenges the traditional view that cancer risks increase as we age, finding the aging process may suppress the development of cancer.
