Cancer patients often face a tough choice: wait years for a drug proven to work or try newer treatments that might help but aren’t fully tested yet. In the U. S. , one program lets patients get early access to drugs with less evidence, as long as there’s some sign they might help. But do patients re
Doctors in Italy often face tough calls when dealing with breast lesions that fall in the middle ground—not clearly cancerous, but not harmless either. These so-called B3 lesions create uncertainty because their risk of turning serious isn’t fully known. For years, the go-to move has been surgical r
Most breast cancers that spread are hormone-sensitive, meaning their growth depends on estrogen or progesterone. Doctors usually start with hormone-blocking pills plus a second drug that slows cell division. This combo works well at first but becomes less predictable over time. Tumors change as they

The EPA is facing a new challenge. Scientists say they are being asked to soften the danger of chemicals that appear in everyday items like cleaners and makeup. Instead of showing how these substances could harm people, they are told to make the risks look smaller. A group of EPA workers ha
Peruvians headed to the polls Sunday with heavy hearts, not just ballots. Crime is the monster under the bed for most families, and the two final candidates offer very different dreams of how to tame it.
