It's never too late to start eating right as a means of protecting your brain health, a new study says.

The first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) pivekimab sunirine (PVEK) demonstrated promising efficacy and high response rates for patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), according to data from a Phase I/II study led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, the oral proteolysis-targeting chimera ER degrader, vepdegestrant, leads to significantly longer progression-free survival in patients with ESR1 mutations, according to a study published online May 31 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The research was presented to coincide with the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago.

Patients with Stage II and III (early-stage) HER2+ breast cancer usually undergo preoperative therapy with multi-agent chemotherapy in combination with anti-HER2 antibodies, followed by surgery. A less intensive, reduced chemotherapy treatment approach is currently being evaluated in the CompassHER2 pCR trial by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN).

Salmonella-tainted tomatoes in three southern states could cause severe illness or even death, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns.

In a new clinical practice guideline issued by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation and published online May 27 in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, recommendations are presented for the surgical management of chronic rhinosinusitis in adults.

When physicians receive relative performance feedback on quality of care, the design of the ranking influences whether it motivates them to improve or has a demotivating effect.

Both mild and moderate-to-severe psoriasis are significantly associated with an increased risk for sleep disorders, according to a study published online May 13 in JEADV Clinical Practice.

Results from a new clinical trial suggest that a high-fiber plant-based diet could benefit patients at risk of developing multiple myeloma, the second most common type of blood cancer.

As the global population ages, the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) continues to rise. But the molecular mechanisms behind the deterioration of brain cells have remained elusive.

A new, highly transmissible COVID subvariant has been detected in California—heightening the risk of a potential summer wave as recent moves by the Trump administration threaten to make vaccines harder to get, and more expensive, for many Americans, some health experts warn.

As the U.S. population ages and dementia cases rise, many people are asking whether it is possible to prevent this devastating disease.
