Do GLP-1 drugs cause cancer? New review says no, may even protect

A comprehensive review in The Journal of Clinical Investigation finds no overall link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and increased cancer risk, countering early safety concerns. Instead, evidence suggests possible protective effects for certain cancers, supported by metabolic and immune-modulating mechanisms.

How walnuts combat inflammation and oxidative stress in the body

This review in Food Science & Nutrition synthesizes evidence showing that walnuts (Juglans regia L.) exert potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, apoptosis-regulatory, and immunomodulatory effects through bioactive compounds influencing mitochondrial, cytokine, and redox pathways.

Study confirms PSA screening improves survival and safety

After 23 years of follow-up, the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) confirmed a 13% lower prostate cancer mortality with PSA testing and an improved harm–benefit ratio over time. Risk-based screening could sustain mortality gains while reducing overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.

Breakthrough combo therapy lowers death risk in recurrent prostate cancer

Men whose prostate cancer returns after surgery or radiation therapy may now benefit from a new drug combination shown in clinical trials to cut the risk of death by more than 40%.

Study provides a new approach for the treatment of prostate tumors

An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has demonstrated for the first time that thyroid hormone plays a key role in the development and progression of prostate cancer.

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.

Why brittle bones aren’t just a woman’s problem

Ronald Klein was biking around his neighborhood in North Wales, Pennsylvania, in 2006 and tried to jump a curb. "But I was going too slow — I didn't have enough momentum," he recalled.

Many men receive frequent prostate cancer tests without symptoms

Current prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing "may not effectively target testing to those most likely to benefit, raising concerns about overtesting" warn researchers from the University of Oxford in a study of over 10 million men across England published by The BMJ today.

Housing support programs tied to improved cancer detection among seniors

A new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that older adults receiving federal housing assistance were on average diagnosed at earlier stages with three common cancers-colon, breast, and non-small cell lung-compared to peer cancer patients who were not receiving assistance.
