Improving the survival odds for emergency urology patients

One in ten emergency patients with visible blood in their urine die within three months of presenting at A&E, new research has found. The WASHOUT study, presented on March 16th, 2026, at the European Association of Urology Congress (EAU26) in London, found that a scan within 48 hours could reduce this risk. Such a scan also … Read more

New study connects parasitic disease to genetic changes in the cervical lining

New research has revealed that Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium), a parasitic infection affecting millions globally, can trigger cancer-related gene activity in the cervical lining, with changes becoming even more pronounced after treatment. Presented today at ESCMID Global 2025, this pivotal study sheds new light on how this often-overlooked parasitic disease may contribute to cervical cancer risk … Read more

New blood test method improves accuracy of cancer detection

A new, error-corrected method for detecting cancer from blood samples is much more sensitive and accurate than prior methods and may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following treatment, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Genome Center investigators. The method, based on whole-genome sequencing of DNA, also represents … Read more

Will this Chinese-engineered ‘bacterial assassin’ transform cancer treatment?

Cancer researchers in China who have been experimenting with bacteria may have cracked the deadliest puzzle hindering treatment of the disease: how to eliminate cancers while evading human immune responses. A landmark study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Cell on March 4 revealed how lab-engineered “bacterial assassins” selectively destroyed tumours in mice – slashing … Read more

New imaging technique improves precision in bladder cancer surgery

Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in urinary system, and the treatment faces huge challenges. Radical cystectomy (RC) is the primary treatment for invasive cases, yet the prognosis remains grim due to lymph node metastasis. Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) plays a vital role in improving survival rates and optimizing treatment … Read more
