Two studies published in Nature Medicine and Military Medical Research link accelerated biological aging in younger generations to rising rates of early-onset cancers. Researchers found that people born in more recent decades show larger gaps between their chronological and biological ages, with stronger risks for lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers. A separate global analysis identified six cancers now rising faster in younger adults than older populations.
New research presented at the ERA Congress found DCCB blood pressure medications were associated with a 33% increased risk of major adverse kidney events in Type 2 diabetes patients also receiving RAS and SGLT2 inhibitors. A separate study revealed that diabetic nephropathy patients exhibit the most severe biochemical disturbances, including markedly elevated glycemic indices and significantly impaired renal function compared to other groups.
The FDA approved pembrolizumab in combination with paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab, for adult patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS ≥1).
