AI detects cancer but it’s also reading who you are
December 16, 2025
AI tools designed to diagnose cancer from tissue samples are quietly learning more than just disease patterns. New research shows these systems can infer patient demographics from pathology slides, leading to biased results for certain groups. The bias stems from how the models are trained and the data they see, not just from missing samples. Researchers also demonstrated a way to significantly reduce these disparities.
Difference in kidney function tests predicts health risks
December 16, 2025
At a Glance People with chronic kidney disease faced a higher risk of death and serious health problems when two tests of kidney function did not agree with each other. The findings suggest that using both of these blood tests to track kidney health could help identify patients at increased risk for health problems.
Cannabis compounds show unexpected power against ovarian cancer
December 15, 2025
Scientists have discovered that key compounds from cannabis—CBD and THC—show surprisingly strong effects against ovarian cancer cells. Used together, they slow cell growth, reduce colony formation, and may even block the cancer’s ability to spread. Even more promising, the treatment caused minimal harm to healthy cells and appears to work by restoring a disrupted signaling pathway that fuels tumor growth.

This after-meal blood sugar spike may raise Alzheimer’s risk
December 12, 2025
Spikes in blood sugar after eating may be more dangerous for the brain than previously thought. In a massive genetic study, people with higher post-meal blood sugar had a much greater risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The effect couldn’t be explained by visible brain damage, suggesting hidden biological pathways may be involved. Researchers say managing blood sugar after meals could become a key strategy for reducing dementia risk.

A smarter way to screen for breast cancer is emerging
December 12, 2025
A groundbreaking study shows that breast cancer screening works better when it’s personalized. Instead of annual mammograms for all, women were screened based on genetics, health history, and lifestyle factors. This approach reduced advanced cancers without increasing risk for those screened less often. Most women preferred the personalized model, hinting at a major shift in future screening guidelines.
Doctors are seeing more aggressive breast cancer in younger women than expected
December 1, 2025
Younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer more often than screening guidelines anticipate. Many of these cancers are invasive and harder to treat, especially in those under 40. After analyzing 11 years of data, researchers found that this age group makes up a steady and significant share of diagnoses. The results support a stronger push for earlier risk evaluation.
