Could HPV Self-Sampling Change Cervical Cancer Screening?
What could make a woman more willing to use HPV self-sampling? HPV stands for human papillomavirus. HPV self-sampling allows a woman to collect her own sample for HPV testing instead of having the sample collected by a healthcare provider. A study of 317 college women found that two factors stood out most: attitude toward self-sampling and confidence in being able to perform the test.

What Causes a Stroke?
A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Without oxygen-rich blood, brain cells begin to die within minutes.
The Inflammation Lung Cancer Connection
In the lungs, inflammation can be triggered by cigarette smoke, air pollution, environmental toxins, and chronic lung disease. When this inflammation becomes long-term, immune cells release powerful signaling molecules.

Could a New Discovery Prevent Muscle Loss and Weakness as We Age?
Muscle weakness is one of the biggest challenges of aging. As people get older, they naturally lose muscle strength and muscle mass, a condition known as sarcopenia. This can make everyday activities like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or getting up from a chair much more difficult. While exercise and good nutrition remain the best ways to slow muscle loss, researchers are searching for new treatments that target the underlying causes of age-related muscle weakness.

Should Women With Dense Breasts Get an MRI? New Research Offers Answers
Many women are told after a mammogram that they have dense breast tissue, but they aren't always told what that means. Dense breasts are common and aren't abnormal, but they can make breast cancer harder to detect on a mammogram. They are also linked to a higher risk...

A New Treatment for Aggressive Breast Cancer
Researchers tested a new combination of two cancer drugs — sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab — as the first treatment for patients with PD-L1-positive advanced TNBC. PD-L1 is a protein on some cancer cells that interacts with the immune system.
What is Triple Negative Breast Cancer?
Triple-negative breast cancer, or TNBC, is one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. It’s called “triple negative” because the cancer cells lack three common receptors — estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 — that some other breast cancers have.
Could GLP-1 Medicines Help Lower Breast Cancer Risk?
GLP-1 medicines are best known for treating type 2 diabetes and helping with weight loss. Now, researchers are studying whether these medications may have other health effects, including a possible link to lower breast cancer risk. A new study looked at women who had...
Low-Dose Endoxifen: Is it Possible to Lower Breast Cancer Risk by Reducing Breast Density?
A new clinical trial suggests that a low daily dose of endoxifen may help lower breast cancer risk by reducing breast density. Breast density is an important risk factor for breast cancer and can also make tumors harder to detect on mammograms. In this study, researchers found that even small doses of endoxifen led to meaningful reductions in breast density with manageable side effects.
