Subspecialization in oncology is increasing, but varies widely across cancer types and regions, according to a study published online Aug. 12 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Cancer of the voice box or larynx is an important public health burden. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.1 million cases of laryngeal cancer worldwide, and approximately 100,000 people died from it.

Cedars-Sinai physician-scientists joined peers from around the world at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in July. The scientific presentations at the conference included data from clinical trials of potential therapies for the neurodegenerative disease.
When cells expire, they leave behind an activity log of sorts: RNA expelled into blood plasma that reveals changes in gene expression, cellular signaling, tissue injury and other biological processes.
After Russia's full-scale invasion, thousands of patients have been transferred from Ukraine to other European countries. A study by the University of Helsinki and HUS Helsinki University Hospital showed that 8% of Ukrainian refugees had been hospitalized due to war injuries. Almost 80% of them carried multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria.
Planetary health and human health are closely interconnected. What harms the environment, whether in the short or long term, also affects human health. With this planetary health approach, a pioneering study in Spain has quantified for the first time the health damage caused by the environmental impacts of our food demand. The results reveal that the consumption of meat, fish and seafood, and dairy products accounts for 55% of the damage to human health.
Pioneering research has uncovered a cunning way to curry favor with diners' food choices, so they're more likely to select meals which have a much lower carbon footprint and reduced fat content.
