ACS study shows medical financial hardship increases mortality risk for cancer survivors

HHS presents new protein-forward dietary guidelines, turning the food pyramid upside down
The Kennedy guidelines are mum on cancer risks associated with red meat and alcohol

Recently, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a video montage featuring himself shirtless in jeans, working out with Kid Rock. The duo is in a blue-lit grotto with a cold plunge and sauna.

As more people are surviving cancer, we must continue funding bold science

The cancer research community has a reason to celebrate. For the first time, 70% of people are living at least five years beyond their cancer diagnosis. And, as importantly, cancer death rates have been dropping relentlessly—by more than a third since 1991.
