In a São Paulo State University trial, 43% of women taking 2,000 IU vitamin D daily alongside neoadjuvant chemotherapy saw their breast cancer disappear, versus 24% on placebo — an inexpensive boost worth larger trials.
On a Southwest Airlines flight, crew announced that 2-year-old passenger Cruz had beaten stage 4 neuroblastoma, prompting the entire cabin to erupt in cheers and write messages of encouragement on napkins.
Italian researchers used AI to design "Apt1," a novel molecule that disrupts DNA repair in pancreatic cancer cells, making tumors significantly more responsive to chemotherapy while sparing healthy cells.
Researchers at the University of Chicago developed an AI tool, published in Annals of Oncology, that classifies rare thymic epithelial tumors with high accuracy — helping non-expert pathologists diagnose 100% of aggressive thymic carcinomas in testing.
France has implemented a ban on PFAS — persistent "forever chemicals" linked to cancer and immune damage — in cosmetics, clothing, and ski wax, while mandating expanded drinking water testing.
Machine learning algorithms have successfully predicted the effectiveness of drug compounds for Alzheimer's and cancer, drastically compressing the traditionally years-long drug discovery process.
In a world first, researchers have used generative AI to design synthetic DNA molecules capable of controlling gene expression in healthy mammalian cells, opening new frontiers for precision cancer therapy.
Scientists have used AI to design smart DNA-based drugs that can identify and target cancer cells with extreme precision while leaving healthy cells untouched, potentially transforming cancer treatment by minimizing the devastating side effects of conventional chemotherapy.
Reports have highlighted Keanu Reeves' decades-long quiet philanthropy, revealing that the actor has donated tens of millions to cancer research through a private foundation — motivated by his sister's decade-long battle with leukemia — while deliberately keeping his name off the contributions.
Researchers at the University of Geneva developed MangroveGS, an AI model that predicts cancer metastasis and recurrence with nearly 80% accuracy. Trained on colon cancer, it works across stomach, lung, and breast cancer types.
The FDA approved Corcept Therapeutics' relacorilant (Lifyorli) on March 25, 2026, giving women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer a new option that extended median survival to 16 months in a pivotal trial.
Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old Ethiopian-American student from Virginia, was named TIME's 2023 Kid of the Year for developing an affordable soap-based skin cancer treatment that could provide accessible melanoma prevention in developing countries.
A major randomized trial in Sweden involving over 80,000 women found that AI-assisted mammography screening detected 20% more breast cancers than traditional double reading by two radiologists, while nearly halving radiologists' workload.
Researchers are using AI to predict someone's risk of over 1,000 different diseases before symptoms appear, including breast cancer — transforming medicine from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.
Multiple studies confirm that AI-powered mammography screening can detect breast cancer up to 5 years before it becomes visible to human radiologists, with free open-source tools now being deployed in public hospitals worldwide.

A major report reveals that cancer survival rates have doubled over the past 50 years, with experts declaring we are now in a 'golden age' for cancer research and treatment.
Two decades of dedicated cancer research have paid off: national survival rates have climbed to 70%, a remarkable achievement in the fight against the disease.
A French sailor who competed in the grueling Vendée Globe around-the-world race while battling cancer has been named Sailor of the Year for his extraordinary achievement.
A groundbreaking new therapy is offering hope to patients with blood cancers previously considered untreatable, showing remarkable results in clinical trials.
Researchers developed new methods to detect pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially transforming survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers.
Researchers at the University of Florida developed an mRNA cancer vaccine that supercharges the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, paving the way for a potential universal cancer treatment.
Researchers at the University of Michigan are advancing histotripsy, a non-invasive technique that uses focused sound waves to mechanically destroy tumors without cutting into the body.
Cancer Research UK reports that survival rates have doubled over the past 50 years, with experts declaring a 'golden age' for cancer treatment and research.
