New imaging technique boosts survival in prostate cancer patients

A multicenter study led by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI), Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's Health Care London (Lawson), and University Health Network (UHN) has found a novel imaging solution, called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, can more effectively detect the recurrence of prostate cancer compared to standard imaging methods, and is associated with improved survival outcomes.

Age alone may not predict outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia

An international study conducted by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology and the Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cooperative Group reveals that age-based classifications in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may be outdated and overly simplistic.

How shifting antibodies fuel aging and the new therapies aiming to slow it

This review uncovers how aging reshapes immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, IgM, and IgA, driving inflammation, cellular senescence, and tissue degeneration. By dissecting B-cell dysfunction, glycosylation changes, and Fc receptor pathways, it reveals immunoglobulins as both biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in aging.
