Gen X and MillennialsAlthough the average age at diagnosis is 66, early-onset colorectal cancer (cases that develop in people younger than 50) is becoming increasingly common.[6] Diagnoses in people under age 55 doubled from 1 in 10 in 1995 to 1 in 5 in 2019.[2] Anyone who was born in the 1960s or later (Gen X and millennial) is more likely to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer than someone who was born before 1960.[7]Why is the risk rising among younger people? “We don’t have the answers quite yet.

A rare and aggressive form of liver cancer has long resisted immunotherapy, a treatment that helps the body’s own immune system attack cancer cells. Now, researchers have identified a potential way to overcome that resistance using an FDA-approved drug that is already available for another medical condition. The findings suggest a possible new treatment strategy for fibrolamellar carcinoma, a rare liver cancer that primarily affects children and young adults. Fibrolamellar carcinoma makes up about 2% of all liver cancer cases. There is currently no cure, and the disease is often discovered only after it has spread to other parts of…
President Trump and some of his MAGA allies in the House are ramping up their tactics to advance the GOP’s stalled election integrity bill and effectively shutting down Congress in the process. The tension over the Senate’s inability to pass the SAVE America Act exploded this week as Mr. Trump refused to sign a bipartisan housing bill without the election measure passing, and a band of House GOP rebels blocked the chamber from considering other legislation. “This is the No. 1 most important issue in the country. The American people want it, and we’re not budging until we get it,”…
On May 5, several weeks before a major flu outbreak at an Air Force basic training in Texas, the leaders of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force asked the secretary of defense’s office for permission to vaccinate trainees for the flu, military officials said.The services were reacting to an April 21 order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, which made the previously mandated flu vaccine optional for all troops. Troops at basic training are particularly susceptible to the flu because they sleep in bunk beds in open bays and share meals at large communal tables.But the permission did not…
This week’s tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum offers a moment for reflection on the economic arguments made and the lessons that should be learnt. Mainstream economists are still asked whether their consensus that leaving the EU would be bad for the UK was accurate. A strange question for the referendum’s losers? Yes. But there is a clear two-part answer. The short-term predictions of immediate harm and likely recession, as summarised by the Treasury’s analysis, were wrong. But the longer-term forecast that Brexit would undermine UK economic performance was right. There have been some surprises since 2016, such as the…
As of now, geopolitics overtook trade policy uncertainty as the primary concern for countries. Credit: Unsplash / Sajimon Sahadevanby Maximilian Malawista (united nations)Thursday, June 25, 2026Inter Press Service UNITED NATIONS, June 25 (IPS) – Amidst increased geopolitical tensions, the risk of volatile energy markets, trade corridors, and regional stability in the Middle East has garnered more attention than trade policy in terms of its power to alter the global economy, according to new findings from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). In their report on trade and development, “Global Economy Faces a Geopolitical Challenge”, UNCTAD says that a…
AI, while often cited as a major driver of today’s energy demands, could also be seen as an answer to this challenge if used correctly.That was the message from speakers at Schneider Electric’s Climate Action Week in London last week, where executives from Schneider Electric, Dell Technologies, Stack Infrastructure and Pure Data Centre Group discussed how AI is reshaping energy systems. “We’re no longer debating targets or long-term intent,” David Hall, U.K. and Ireland zone president at Schneider Electric, which supplies infrastructure to support AI data centers, said in a keynote. “We’re in the phase where success is judged on delivery,…
While Hensel was heartened to learn that his cancer was potentially curable with an aggressive treatment protocol, he was also angry that his complaints had not been taken seriously, and he regretted not being more assertive with his doctor.He decided to become his own health advocate, to learn as much as he could about the disease, and to refuse to blindly accept whatever he was told. Hensel’s doctors prescribed a course of radiation, followed by surgery and chemotherapy. They also advised against removing a cancerous lymph node that was not located close to the tumor. Instead, they recommended treating it…
A major federal decision has cleared the way for new oil and gas leasing on public lands across Central California, reopening energy development opportunities in eight counties despite fierce opposition from the state.

The decision allows the agency to restart oil and gas leasing within the Bakersfield…

The two met Thursday afternoon at the White House, where they were expected to discuss the measure.Once Congress presents the bill to Mr. Trump, the president has three options:Here’s a…
