	Breast reduction surgery is linked to lower diabetes and heart risk Findings suggest breast reduction surgery is associated with lower long-term diabetes and cardiovascular risks, enhancing women's metabolic health.

	Do GLP-1 drugs reduce cancer risk or increase it? Emerging evidence links popular weight-loss drugs to lower cancer rates, but are these effects real, or simply a reflection of better metabolic health?

			Blood pressure drug boosts effectiveness of cancer therapy In a new Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) study led by clinical researcher Tyler J. Curiel, MD, MPH, FACP, investigators found that the FDA-approved blood pressure drug telmisartan can significantly enhance the cancer-killing activity of the targeted therapy olaparib, potentially expanding its use to many more patients.

			Cancer-fighting antibodies may trigger autoimmune brain disorders Consider two seemingly unrelated medical puzzles. First: Every day, our bodies produce hundreds of billions of new cells, many of which are mutated.

			New approach helps immune cells find and attack solid tumors A technique that transforms immune cells into cancer-seeking bloodhounds may overcome a roadblock that has hampered immunotherapy for solid tumors, according to a new study by Stanford Medicine researchers.

	Circulating tumor DNA predicts breast cancer relapse after treatment Fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream of patients with breast cancer can predict whether they are likely to relapse, especially when samples are taken after the patients have received treatments prior to surgery.

	Personalized radiotherapy reduces the risk of breast cancer recurrence The chances of breast cancer recurring remain very low when patients are treated with radiotherapy that is tailored to their individual risk following chemotherapy and surgery. These are the findings of a ten-year study presented at the 15th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC15) in Barcelona today (Wednesday).

	Study explores racial differences in gastric cancer immunotherapy outcomes Advanced gastric cancer remains one of the deadliest malignancies, with a 5-year overall survival rate below 10%.

	Polyurethane-coated implants may reduce scarring after breast reconstruction surgery Women who are treated with mastectomy for breast cancer often choose to have surgery to reconstruct the breast using an implant.

	What role can top-down proteomics play in fighting disease? By analyzing intact proteins, top-down proteomics uncovers proteoforms that influence disease, aiding in biomarker discovery and therapeutic targeting.

	How siRNA technology targets disease-causing genes in inflammation and cancer Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) enable targeted gene silencing, offering innovative solutions for immunotherapy and precision medicine in inflammatory diseases.

	Drug-releasing stitches aim to reduce inflammation and improve healing Deep cuts from accidents or surgeries require stitches, typically followed by oral anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. While these medications help with pain, they don't act specifically on the wounds.

	Breast cancer patients may avoid lymphedema with radiotherapy approach Patients with breast cancer may be able to avoid lymphedema, which can occur after surgery to remove lymph nodes in the armpit (the axilla), by having radiotherapy instead.
