Study finds 7 to 8 cups a day of coffee, tea, and water tied to longer life

Researchers using UK Biobank data found that drinking 7–8 cups of coffee, tea, and water per day was linked to the lowest mortality risk. The healthiest mix was a 2:3 balance of coffee to tea, with further benefits over water substitution, but excessive intake (>9 cups) raised cardiovascular risk.

Sylvester part of major national study on AI use in breast cancer screening

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, will co-lead a newly funded, multi-institutional clinical trial to evaluate whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help support radiologists in interpreting mammograms more accurately, with the goal of improving breast cancer screening and reducing unnecessary callbacks and anxiety for patients.
