In case you’ve somehow not yet been made privy to this fact, Doja Cat is a consistently and uniquely entertaining presence on social media.Case in point, Doja this week spoke with her usual candor about liposuction and breast reduction, all while shutting down a few misery lovers who take every possible opportunity to attempt to get others to feel as miserable as they do.“ot my titties done and my clit bedazzled,” Doja told fans in an initial tweet on Monday. From there, she responded to a number of replies, starting with…

Harnessing the immune system to fight cancer is an ever-evolving area of medical science, but among the most stubborn and least responsive to immunology therapies is metastatic breast cancer.Now, scientists have found a way to treat the areas surrounding breast cancer tumors that have spread to the bone, making these secondary tumors vulnerable to attack by the immune system.Common immunotherapies – immune checkpoint inhibitors – ramp up T-cell activity to attack cancer. But researchers from Washington University School…

An innovative AI algorithm may offer significant benefits to patients undergoing breast cancer treatment. Specifically, the algorithm has the potential to identify unsuitable candidates for chemotherapy, thereby reducing the risk of serious side effects. Moreover, it may facilitate improved surgical outcomes for patients who are deemed suitable.Artificial intelligence (AI) technology to predict if women with breast cancer would benefit from chemotherapy prior to surgery has been developed by engineers at the University of…

Women in the study published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine were 65 and older with early stage breast cancers that could respond to hormone therapy. The women all had surgery and hormone therapy and were divided into a group that underwent radiation and a group that went without it. Ten years after surgery, survival rates in the two groups were almost equal, suggesting more women could skip radiation without affecting their survival. The results support…

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast tissue. It is one of the most common types of cancer among women worldwide. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, however, it is rare in men. Early signs and symptoms of breast cancer include a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, changes in the shape or size of the breast, and changes in the skin of the breast, such as dimpling or redness.Surviving chemotherapy activates a program of immune checkpoints that protect breast cancer cells from various…

The Willow 3.0 in-bra breast pump is designed to help nursing parents carry on with their lives while pumping, and its latest new feature adds an extra level of convenience: a companion app for the Apple Watch. The app lets you change modes, control suction, and track your sessions without having to fiddle with the pump itself or pick up your phone. That doesn’t sound particularly earth-shattering, but in case you weren’t aware, I’ll let you in on a little secret: breast pumping is awful, and anything that makes it a…

, a company that makes , is looking to make it easier for users to monitor and control their pumping sessions. The , a wearable wireless pump, now has an companion app. As such, you won't necessarily need your phone to manage pumping sessions (though your iPhone will still need to be within 30 feet of both the pumps and your watch). The app enables users to start and pause sessions, switch between stimulation and expression pump modes and adjust suction levels, all from their wrist. Your watch will also let you know when…

A new study from the University of Florida supports the idea that breast milk from women who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 can provide protection to infants who are too young to receive the vaccine. The study, which was published in the Journal of Perinatology, followed up on previous research from 2021 that found that the breast milk of vaccinated people contained antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In this new study, researchers analyzed the stool of infants who consumed this breast…
