Cancer remains one of the most formidable health challenges worldwide.

A team of researchers have named almost 1000 chemicals, found in food and beauty products, that increase the risk of breast cancer.

The study, led by Dr Trey Ideker, a professor in the Department of Medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine, showcases the potential of artificial intelligence in unravelling the complexities of cancer drug responses.

The experiment was carried out on lab-grown cells and mice.

With its AI-powered technology, the company has developed a groundbreaking solution for identifying optimal drug treatments for individual dogs and cats with blood cancers.

Absci, a drug and target discovery company, has been harnessing the power of deep learning AI to develop new and existing disease treatments.

The UK government has chalked out a long-term plan to use AI to develop treatments for diseases with higher death rates through the AI Life Sciences Accelerator Mission.

The new therapy, known as glofitamab or Columvi®, has been approved by both the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

University of Rochester scientists successfully transfer genes leading to improved health and extended lifespan in mice, potentially unlocking secrets of ageing and lifespan enhancement in humans.

The World Health Organisation has added over 500 lifesaving essential medicines to its essential list including the first approvals for multiple sclerosis.

The projected trajectory indicates that by 2025, more women will be diagnosed with lung cancer than men in the UK. Historically, lung cancer has been predominantly associated with male smokers.

With the recent passing of legendary bassist, Andy Rourke, we take a look at the underlying symptoms of pancreatic cancer, aptly dubbed "the silent killer".

The test requires just a urine sample, making it an affordable and non-invasive screening option. The technology behind the test uses a new type of nanoparticle with a protein-coating tagged with DNA sequences.

At present, there are no population-based tools to broadly screen for pancreatic cancer but those with a family history are at high risk for it.

Researchers in the UK have developed an AI tool that can predict whether an abnormal growth in thebody is cancerous or not.
