Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump's director of national intelligence, is leaving the administration, Axios learned Friday. The big picture: Gabbard's departure is not due to any controversies surrounding her work or job performance, but due to her husband being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, one senior Trump administration official and another source familiar told Axios.

Whenever you read about artificial intelligence, you hear the same sweeping promises. Commentators and industry leaders speak of breakthroughs that always seem just over the horizon.

A suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus in central Fuzhou Monday, killing himself and injuring 31 others, local police said. The blast in the capital of East China's Fujian Province went off at 2:32 pm as the No 5 bus pulled in at the Dongjiekou Stop in Dongda Road, one of the city's busiest streets.

"Thick smoke rose into the sky, and we couldn't see or tell what was happening," Lin said. Even from her office on the...

Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in the NBA, died following a “valiant” battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma, his family announced Tuesday. Collins was 47. The ex-Nets player and 13-year NBA veteran had revealed his diagnosis in December in a piece published by ESPN. Stage 4 glioblastoma is one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer.

By the time doctors detect pancreatic cancer, it’s often too late to treat effectively. But a new study suggests that artificial intelligence might be able to find signs of the disease before tumors are visible on a scan. An AI model developed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, detected abnormalities on patients’ CT scans up to three years before they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to research published this week in the journal Gut. The scientists behind the model, which is now being evaluated in a clinical trial, trained it by feeding it CT scans from patients who...

Pancreatic cancer is on course to be the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the US by 2030, in part because 85 percent of cases aren't diagnosed until the disease has spread. We're just not catching it early enough. Thanks to a newly developed AI model from researchers at the Mayo Clinic and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, that might be about to change. Their new system, called REDMOD (radiomics-based early detection model), was tested on CT scans from people later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In nearly 3 out of 4 cases, REDMOD successfully spotted the most common...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday revealed he had undergone treatment for prostate cancer and delayed releasing the results at the peak of U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran earlier this year. In a post on the social platform X, Netanyahu said doctors had discovered a malignant tumor at a “very early stage” and that it had not spread “whatsoever.” He said he chose to have “targeted treatment” against the tumor, which required a “few short” follow-up treatments. “Today, my annual medical report was published. I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it would...

Researchers found young non-smokers with lung cancer ate more fruits, vegetables and whole grains than the general population Pesticide contamination in produce may be a potential environmental risk factor contributing to lung cancer in non-smokers The study aims to identify specific pesticides linked to cancer and guide future public health recommendations SNIP

A new observational study of 197 cancer patients taking a combined ivermectin + mebendazole protocol is going viral on social media — and for understandable reasons. At six-month follow-up, 84.4% of respondents reported clinical benefit (no evidence of disease, regression, or stable disease), and nearly half (48.4%) reported either tumor regression or no current evidence of disease. The combination was well tolerated, with only mild, mostly gastrointestinal side effects. The paper, posted on Zenodo about a week and a half ago, is the largest structured real-world look at this specific repurposed-drug pairing published to date.This post is a summary. The...

After nearly 100 years of development, treatments that bolster the body's immune system to fight cancer are coming of age – and saving patients' lives. ---SNIP--- The body has a natural ability to "detect and eliminate cells that look like not-you," explains Karen Knudsen, chief executive of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, a US nonprofit that furthers immunotherapy development. If all is working well, that should include cells that have become cancerous. But sometimes, cancer cells evade or outsmart that system, leading to dangerous unchecked growth. They hide, in plain sight, indistinguishable from the healthy cells around them. Immunotherapy's...

It didn’t matter that Eric Tennant’s oncologist had recommended the medication to shrink his tumors. The patient’s health insurance allegedly stood in the way — until it was too late. In early 2025, after more than two years of chemotherapy that hollowed him out from the inside, the frail 58-year-old was deemed a good candidate for histotripsy, a new treatment that could target the tumors in his liver with ultrasound waves instead of surgery. Tennant’s wife, Rebecca, had heard of histotripsy and brought the idea to her husband’s doctor. There was a relatively narrow window in which he could receive...

From the very beginning of the CV19 bioweapon vax rollout in 2021, Dr. Betsy Eads (aka Dr. Betsy) sounded the alarm on all the severe medical problems, disabilities and deaths the injections would cause. Dr. Betsy has been promoting constant detoxing from the shots. In July, she, once again, pushed the idea that “Everyone Needs Treatment for CV19 Bioweapon Vax.” For the CV19 vaxed who are untreated, it is a total disaster. Just look at the out-of-control cancer numbers that Dr. Betsy said were coming back in 2021. Dr. Betsy says, “I gave you some predictions. I told you that...

President Trump has just announced that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with “early stage breast cancer.” “She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! “Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her. “Susie, as one of my closest and most important advisors, is tough and...

A tech entrepreneur has created a personalised cancer vaccine for his dog, a breakthrough experts say could shape the future of human medicine. Sydney man Paul Conyngham adopted his 'best mate' Rosie, an eight-year-old staffy-Shar Pei cross in 2019. In 2024, the canine was diagnosed with mast cell cancer after large tumours started to appear on one of her back legs. Mast cell cancer is the most common skin cancer found in dogs, and often appears as lumps, nodules or masses in the skin. Mr Conyngham spent thousands on veterinary chemotherapy for Rosie, which slowed the spread of the tumours...

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago. The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors. snip Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke out against a deal with Iran, referring to the Islamic Republic as a “cancer". His comments came in an interview with Fox News, amid tensions between the US and Iran. “How could you allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb? Now, people have always said that. Well, you know, [President Donald Trump] actually did something to actually prevent Iran from doing that," said Fetterman. “If they have 900 pounds of near weapons-grade uranium why wouldn't you strike that? Why wouldn't you hold them accountable that way? And now here we are again, and now we've...
