Immunotherapy Alone Clears Cancer — No Surgery Needed
A new trial published in NEJM shows that some early-stage cancers may no longer need surgery.
Patients with a specific genetic tumor type (called dMMR) received only PD-1 blocker immunotherapy — and the results were stunning:
100% of rectal cancer patients had complete remission
About 65% of other dMMR tumors also disappeared
After 2 years, over 90% remained cancer-free

New Hope for Advanced MS: Tolebrutinib Shows Real Progress
For patients with non-relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) — a stage with no approved treatments — there’s finally good news.
A new oral drug, tolebrutinib, has shown in a Phase 3 trial that it can slow down disability progression by targeting chronic brain inflammation.

Binge Drinking Is Changing — And Women Are Now Leading
For the first time, young women in the U.S. are binge drinking more than young men, according to new national health data.
The study, published in JAMA, shows that women aged 18–25 now slightly outpace men in heavy drinking — a reversal of decades-old trends.

HIPAA, in its current form, is the biggest barrier to keeping the US health system at par with the rest of the world.

A New Antibiotic Found in a Garden? Yes, Really.
Scientists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic, in a technician’s backyard garden.
It’s called lariocidin, and it can kill drug-resistant bacteria that current antibiotics can’t touch. Even better, it’s non-toxic to human cells, worked well in infected mice, and may be less likely to trigger resistance.
