GLP-1 receptor agonists linked to altered patterns on FDG PET-CT scans

The growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists may affect the interpretation of oncological FDG PET-CT scans, new research presented today at the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM'25) has revealed.

Research finds a steady rise in cardiovascular-related complications during pregnancy

Cardiovascular-related health problems may occur in as many as 1 out of every 7 pregnancies, even among people who don't already have heart disease, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.

$3.7 million grant supports research on perimenopause and its potential impacts on mental health

For decades, women's midlife experiences have been largely overlooked by medical research. Despite previous assumptions about midlife mental health risks, relatively little research has systematically investigated the connections between hormonal fluctuations and psychological symptoms.

Visceral fat activity linked to advanced endometrial cancer

High metabolic activity of visceral fat may be associated with more aggressive endometrial cancer, new research presented today at the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM'25) has shown.

Deadly brain cancer erodes skull bone and alters immune marrow

Scientists at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) and Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown for the first time that glioblastoma-the deadliest form of brain cancer-affects not just the brain but also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow, and interferes with the body's immune response.

Stereotactic radiotherapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for NSCLC patients

A new clinical trial report finds that stereotactic radiation therapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for patients with small, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients in the study who received radiation also reported fewer side effects after treatment.

Gene expression test identifies prostate cancer patients who benefit from hormone therapy

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate cancer will benefit from adding hormone therapy to radiation after surgery - the first predictive biomarker in this setting.

Combining radiopharmaceuticals with targeted radiation improves progression-free survival in prostate cancer patients

A new clinical trial finds that people with a limited number of metastases from recurrent prostate cancer lived significantly longer without disease progression when they received a radiopharmaceutical drug before targeted radiation, compared with radiation alone.

Low-dose radiation therapy may be a suitable option for people with painful knee osteoarthritis

A single course of low-dose radiation therapy may provide a safe and effective alternative treatment option for people with painful knee osteoarthritis according to a new randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

UCLA presents advances in radiation therapy at ASTRO 2025

Physicians and scientists from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center will share the latest research and clinical trial results at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, including studies on targeted radioactive therapy for recurrent prostate cancer, new approaches to stereotactic body radiation for prostate and head and neck cancers, advances in MRI- and 5DCT-guided imaging for more precise treatments, and innovations in patient-focused cancer education.

Calcium-induced release identified as key driver of dangerous muscle disorders

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release.

Robotic bronchoscope reaches tiny, hard-to-access lung tumors with high accuracy

A cutting-edge bronchoscope that is guided with the help of a robot can reach very small tumors growing in hard-to-reach parts of the lung, according to results of a gold-standard randomized-controlled trial that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Emergency departments emerge as key entry point for hospice and palliative care

One-third of Americans will visit an emergency department, or ED, within a month of their death. While EDs are primarily purposed to provide emergent care, they're increasingly becoming an initial touchpoint for hospice and palliative care, or HPC, referrals and consultations, according to a new study from several researchers at Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences.

Medical imaging radiation linked to small cancer risk in children

A recent study links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents.

Study offers rare insight into experiences of children raised by cardiothoracic surgeons

A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, a journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), offers rare insight into what it's like to grow up as the child of a cardiothoracic (CT) surgeon mother, revealing a powerful blend of challenges, inspiration, and resilience.

Blood and brain biomarkers transform how doctors confirm Alzheimer’s disease

A new Lancet review proposes a three-wave diagnostic pathway that combines clinical expertise with blood, CSF, and PET biomarkers. This approach aims to deliver earlier, more accurate, and more equitable Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis worldwide.

Psychological distress after a heart attack emerges as a critical risk factor for heart health

Many people experience one or more types of psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, psychosocial stress or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after a heart attack, which can affect their physical recovery and long-term heart health, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement, published today in the American Heart Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.
