Wildfire smoke may be more harmful than other air pollution, two Mount Sinai studies find

As climate change drives more frequent and intense wildfires, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have published two large-scale studies showing that wildfire smoke may pose greater health risks than other sources of air pollution, with higher risks of hospitalization for cardiovascular and respiratory disease and poorer survival among patients with lung cancer.

Coffee after colorectal cancer? Decaf and caffeine show different links with mortality

In a prospective analysis of 1,098 people with colorectal cancer, researchers found no significant association between total or caffeinated coffee intake and all-cause or colorectal cancer-specific mortality in the cohort overall. Decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower all-cause mortality, while the highest quartile of caffeine intake was associated with lower all-cause and colorectal cancer-specific mortality, although the observational study cannot establish causation.

Breast cancer AI test finds no single chatbot excels across every measure

Researchers compared five large language models on breast cancer health information using 90 knowledge questions, 10 clinical cases, and 20 common patient concerns, with all prompts submitted in simplified Chinese. The models performed strongly on standardized knowledge overall, but differed in linguistic complexity and expert-rated completeness, readability, helpfulness, correctness, and safety.

Protein-based MRI agent detects tiny lung cancer metastases

A multi-institutional research team led by Georgia State University Regents' Professor Emerita of Biochemistry and Biophysical Chemistry Jenny J. Yang has developed a new class of protein-based MRI contrast agent that detects invasive lung cancer and metastatic disease at earlier stages than conventional imaging approaches.

Breast cancer survivors could avoid lifelong heart medication, research suggests

Many breast cancer survivors whose treatment caused them to develop problems with their heart function can safely stop their medication after their heart recovers and most won't need to continue treatment long-term, according to a study funded by the British Heart Foundation and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich.

AI model predicts cancer diagnoses up to a year in advance using routine clinical data

Researchers developed Oncoformer, a multimodal transformer that analyzes longitudinal health records and chest X-rays to classify cancer, predict diagnoses up to one year in advance, infer tumor stage, and forecast treatment response and recurrence risk. Validation across large independent cohorts showed strong performance, although prospective trials in diverse, average-risk populations are needed before clinical use.
