A blood test may help identify which patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy after surgery, according to research presented today at the ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2026.

Two people may be the same age and have similar family histories or risk factors, yet only one of them may develop thrombosis. To better understand why this occurs, researchers from the Complex Disease Genomics Unit at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and the Biomedi

In health care, it is often the smallest moments that carry the greatest meaning—a quiet conversation with a patient, a shared reflection with colleagues, or a hand held in silence. These brief yet powerful connections, known as sacred moments, are the focus of new research explo

A new Kimberley-based study is helping Aboriginal people living with diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) by identifying ways to improve culturally safe care.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be an extremely incapacitating neuropsychiatric condition. The symptoms of people who suffer from OCD can entail washing their hands or showering over and over again, repeatedly checking whether they switched off the gas in the kitchen or l

Researchers have validated a genetic scoring tool that may help physicians diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and identify which patients are at greatest risk for severe outcomes, including death or the need for a lung transplant. The findings come from a new international st

Fentanyl, combination opioid treatments, oxycodone and morphine are associated with higher risks compared with codeine among patients treated for non-cancer pain. University of Manchester researchers have identified which opioids are most likely to be associated with respiratory

When a child is experiencing a mental health crisis, families increasingly turn to the emergency department for help. While hospitals across Illinois are making progress in caring for these children, they face significant challenges, especially limited access to specialists and l

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

Walk into a crowded coffee shop, and what catches your eye as you take in the scene could say as much about you as the spirals on your fingertips or the mutations in your DNA. Eye movements are so unique, in fact, that they could be used to identify you through objects that have

Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity and environmental data from older adults to identify di

Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes with high accuracy, offering a potentially faster, more e
