Study reveals genetic balancing act between autoimmunity and cancer risk.

MedicalXpress, 26/02/2026

The team discovered that many of the genetic variants that appear to heighten the risk of hypothyroidism may also lower the risk of skin cancer. By performing a genome-wide association analysis of over 81,000 people with AIHT,...

Hypertension treatment linked to lower mortality for patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Eurekalert, 26/02/2026

The study found that polytherapy, or treatment with multiple classes of antihypertensive medications, was associated with significantly better survival outcomes. Compared with monotherapy, polytherapy was linked to a 38% lower risk of all-cause mortality...
