Rebecca King Crews spent years seeking answers before her Parkinson's diagnosis at age 50, but a breakthrough FDA-approved treatment is now helping manage her symptoms without surgery. Her story shines light on early-onset Parkinson's and a promising new therapy option.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a simple blood test that can detect multiple types of cancer and other diseases simultaneously for less than $20. Early studies show it catches 63% of cancers overall and nearly 80% of liver cancers in high-risk patients.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to discover shared gut bacteria patterns that could diagnose multiple digestive cancers and diseases earlier, without invasive procedures. The breakthrough could transform how doctors catch serious conditions before they progress.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to discover shared biological markers in gut bacteria that could detect digestive cancers and diseases before symptoms appear. This breakthrough could replace invasive tests with simple, early screenings that save lives.
Dr. Phillips High teacher Suzanne Scherfer survived Stage 1 breast cancer and now helps other patients face their fears with humor and hope. A student's accidental bump led to her early diagnosis.
A German Shepherd's obsessive sniffing behavior led her owner to discover stage one lung cancer. Scientists are now using AI to recreate dogs' cancer-detecting abilities.
New blood tests that scan for dozens of cancers at once are advancing rapidly, offering hope for earlier detection in high-risk patients. While current trials show they're not ready for widespread use yet, scientists say the technology could transform cancer care as it improves.
Girls diagnosed with ADHD in childhood have better mental health outcomes than those diagnosed later, according to groundbreaking research from Wales. The findings point to a clear solution: earlier screening could prevent years of struggle.
A German shepherd's obsessive sniffing of her owner's breath led to the discovery of stage one lung cancer, saving her life. Now scientists are training an AI-powered "e-nose" to replicate dogs' disease-detecting abilities.
Japanese researchers created an AI that spots a rare growth disorder just by scanning pictures of hands, no facial recognition needed. The breakthrough could help thousands get diagnosed years earlier while keeping their identity safe.
Global investor Dale W. Wood just made his second record-breaking charity donation in weeks, this time giving £1 million to help beat osteoporosis across the UK. The gift to the Royal Osteoporosis Society will fund AI tools and early diagnosis programs to prevent thousands of avoidable fractures.
Scientists created a light-powered sensor that spots cancer biomarkers in blood at incredibly tiny concentrations, potentially catching the disease years earlier than current methods. The breakthrough could transform cancer screening into a simple blood draw.
A handheld device the size of a deck of cards can detect lung cancer from a one-minute breath test, using graphene sensors that identify disease markers. The technology could catch cancer years earlier, when treatment is seven times less expensive and survival rates are highest.
Beagles in Israel are sniffing out lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer from breath samples collected at home, achieving nearly 95% accuracy in clinical trials. The breakthrough could transform early cancer detection worldwide.
Scientists created a simple test strip that could detect cancer as easily as checking blood sugar, making early diagnosis accessible to everyone. The breakthrough uses enzymes to spot disease markers at concentrations a trillion times lower than glucose.
Scientists created a disc-shaped device that automatically detects five types of cancer from a single blood draw, making early cancer screening as simple as a routine blood test. The breakthrough could help millions catch cancer earlier without invasive procedures.
Swedish researchers developed a blood test that identifies cancer in patients with vague symptoms like fatigue or weight loss, solving one of medicine's toughest diagnostic challenges. The test analyzes protein patterns to distinguish cancer from other serious conditions with high accuracy.
Scientists have transformed standard MRI machines into powerful microscopes that can spot brain damage at the cellular level, years before symptoms appear. This medical breakthrough could revolutionize how doctors diagnose and treat conditions like traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, and multiple sclerosis.
