ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) and Caris Life Sciences have announced a multi-year research collaboration. Caris is pairing its genomic expertise and AI and machine learning algorithms with ECOG-ACRIN’s vast [...]

Data suggests millions of women in the UK aren’t being told their breast density, despite it being a risk factor for cancer. New research, published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, has revealed a stark lack of awareness around breast density among UK women.

A study suggests that menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) might have moderate effects on brain health, but this depends on past surgical history, the duration of treatment, and a woman’s age at last use. The research investigates the associations between MHT and brain health in a large population of UK women. Ovarian hormones such as oestrogens [...]

Following the overwhelming success of its London event—“One of the best women’s health conferences this year,” said Valentina Milanova, Founder of Daye—which attracted over 100 [...]

A new AI system can accurately assess the chromosomal status of IVF embryos via time-lapse videos of the embryos and maternal age, data shows. The new system, called BELA, is the latest AI-based platform for assessing whether an embryo has a normal (euploid) or abnormal (aneuploid) number of chromosomes—a key determinant of IVF success. Unlike [...]

New findings have provided further evidence that anti-fibrosis drugs could improve outcomes from breast cancer. They come out of the progress of a new diagnostic test that could better predict breast cancer outcomes; building on a recent research breakthrough in identifying a connection between fibrosis and advanced stages of the disease. The link between breast [...]

A combination of two drugs that can block the growth of cancer cells has shown promising results in women with a form of ovarian cancer that rarely responds to chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Study findings show that in 115 participants with low-grade serous ovarian cancer, 31 per cent saw their tumours shrink or stop growing [...]

A study of menopausal women in England has found that those in affluent areas are twice as likely to be offered hormone replacement therapy (HRT) than those in socially deprived areas.
