Blood Tests to Improve Alzheimer's Detection and Treatment
New blood tests for Alzheimer's disease, showing up to 91% improved diagnostic accuracy in research, could significantly improve detection and treatment, allowing earlier intervention with new FDA-approved drugs like Leqembi and Kisunla, while the ALZ-NET system will track long-term effects.

Immunotherapy Shows Promise in Treating MMR-deficient Solid Tumors
A clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center showed that an immunotherapy treatment led to complete tumor disappearance in all 49 rectal cancer patients and 65% of other cancer patients with a specific genetic mutation (MMR-deficient), avoiding the need for surgery, radiation, and chem...

Highly Accurate Urine Test Shows Promise for Routine Prostate Cancer Screening
A new urine test for prostate cancer, achieving an AUC score of 0.92 compared to PSA's 0.65-0.75, is undergoing a large-scale (£42 million) UK clinical trial (250,000-300,000 men over 8 years) to assess its potential for routine screening, aiming to reduce the over 12,000 annual deaths from this can...

Same-Arm Boosters Trigger Stronger Immune Response: Australian Study
Australian research, published in Cell, shows that administering COVID-19 booster shots in the same arm as the first dose generates a stronger, faster immune response due to "primed" macrophages near the initial injection site, potentially leading to improved vaccine design.
