	Genetic link between migraines and breast cancer risk uncovered Using Mendelian randomization analysis, the study finds a genetic link between migraine susceptibility and increased risk of overall and estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. However, the findings suggest caution in interpretation, highlighting the need for further research to solidify these associations.

	Everyday chemicals linked to increased cancer risk, especially in women This study identifies links between exposure to chemicals like PFAS, parabens, and phenols and increased cancer risk, particularly among women and across racial groups. The findings spotlight the role of environmental toxins in hormone-related cancers, suggesting new avenues for cancer prevention and mitigation strategies.

			New AI model improves accuracy of tumor removal in breast cancer surgery Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools have received a lot of attention recently, with the majority of discussions focusing on proper use.

			Breast cancer patients treated with alpelisib have elevated rates of high blood sugar New research has uncovered elevated rates of high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, among patients with breast cancer who are treated with the oral medication alpelisib.

			Radiation therapy combined with two types of immunotherapy could be effective against cold tumors Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that radiation therapy combined with two types of immunotherapy-;one that boosts T cells, and another that boosts dendritic cells-;can control tumors in preclinical models of triple negative breast cancer, a cancer type that's typically resistant to immunotherapy alone.

	Neoadjuvant immunotherapy shows promise in multiple cancer types Treating cancer with immunotherapies known as an immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) prior to surgery (so-called neoadjuvant immunotherapy) has been a rapidly growing area of research, but the scientific community is just scratching the surface of what is possible, according to a review article co-authored by several current and former investigators from the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer...

	Gender inequalities worsen women’s access to cancer prevention, detection and care Unequal power dynamics across society have resounding negative impacts on how women interact with cancer prevention, care and treatment.

	Challenges and opportunities for better lung cancer care for the elderly A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 17, entitled, "Promising trends in lung cancer care, but are we overlooking the majority?"

	New imaging agent predicts early metabolic response to HER2-targeted therapy in metastatic breast cancer A new imaging agent, 68Ga-ABY-025, can predict early metabolic response to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted treatment in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients, according to new research published in the September issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
