Doctors and nurses found to be better at triaging patients in emergency departments than AI

Doctors and nurses are better at triaging patients in emergency departments than artificial intelligence (AI), according to research presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Tuesday).

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.

Discovery of EUDAL reveals new mechanism behind chemotherapy resistance in oral cancer

Oral cancer is one of the most common head and neck cancers worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of new cases diagnosed every year. Despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, survival rates remain poor.

How to pick the right cosmetic surgeon

The debate over which doctors are best qualified to perform cosmetic surgery — and who gets the best results for patients — has raged for decades.

Doctors with troubled pasts are performing cosmetic surgeries tied to crippling pain and injury

Not long after California surgeon Andrew S. Hsu landed a job with a cosmetic surgery chain in Georgia, several of his patients suffered disfiguring injuries, and even his new employer had doubts about his competence, court records allege.

Proton therapy offers no significant QOL advantage over photon therapy for breast cancer

The first randomized trial to compare photon- and proton-based radiation therapy for breast cancer finds that patients report equally strong health-related quality of life with either treatment. Patients who received proton therapy were more likely to say they would recommend or choose it again, but overall patient-reported outcomes were similar.

Researchers design factor IX variants for short- and long-term Hemophilia B management

After blood vessel damage, effective blood clotting is essential to halt bleeding. However, this process is inefficient in some individuals due to hereditary factors. Hemophilia B, for example, results from a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX), which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgery.

What’s more dangerous, road cycling or mountain biking?

Researchers in Barcelona analyzed 149 injured cyclists and found that while mountain biking accidents were more frequent, road cycling caused more severe injuries, especially head trauma. Older age strongly increased injury severity in road cyclists, highlighting a vulnerable group in need of attention.

Post-operative radiation therapy reduces pelvic relapse in high-risk bladder cancer

Radiation therapy could be an underused tool to reduce pelvic relapse risk for patients with locally advanced, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to results of a new phase III randomized trial.

Genetic variant linked to liver injury after chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients

A new international study led by Mayo Clinic researchers has identified a genetic factor that may explain why some patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver experience more severe liver damage after chemotherapy.

Small molecule AVJ16 shows promise in targeting lung cancer growth

Researchers have discovered a promising new approach to lung cancer treatment. A small molecule called AVJ16 selectively blocks the cancer-driving protein IGF2BP1, halting tumor growth in preclinical studies and killing cancer cells in patient-derived models—while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

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.

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.

AI tool accurately distinguishes between glioblastoma and primary central nervous system lymphoma

A Harvard Medical School–led research team has developed an AI tool that can reliably tell apart two look-alike cancers found in the brain but with different origins, behaviors, and treatments.

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.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy and surgery show similar outcomes for early lung cancer

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will present new data at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2025 Annual Meeting demonstrating that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and surgery achieved similar survival outcomes at 10-year follow-up for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, with radiation offering quality-of-life benefits.

Study reveals long-term effects of hyaluronic acid fillers

Initial and follow-up 3D digital scans provide new insights into the effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in restoring facial volume and fullness, reports a study in the October issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Modifiable risk factors could double global kidney cancer cases by 2050

Modifiable risk factors such as obesity, smoking, lack of exercise, diabetes and hypertension are projected to be one of the main drivers of a steep rise in kidney cancer cases, doubling the amount worldwide over the next 25 years, according to a new study recently published in European Urology.

Firearm injuries cost U.S. hospitals billions and strain safety-net centers

The initial hospital treatment of firearm injuries cost the U.S. health care system an estimated $7.7 billion between 2016 and 2021, with the largest share falling on urban trauma center hospitals that serve the highest proportion of Medicaid patients, reports a new study led by Northwestern Medicine.

Tumor cells adapt and thrive in damaged parts of the pancreas

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancer types. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology at Karolinska University Hospital, shows that tumor cells grow not only in the connective tissue-rich environment typical of the disease, but also in damaged parts of the pancreas where normal tissue is altered.
