A Canadian-led global study found structured exercise after chemotherapy reduced colon cancer recurrence by 28% and death risk by 37%. Patients worked with physiotherapists over three years. Researchers say adding physical activity to care plans is as effective as expensive cancer drugs and far more affordable and sustainable.
A new drug combo using trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) nearly halved disease progression in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Called a “smart bomb,” it targets cancer cells directly. Patients saw significantly improved outcomes over standard care. The treatment could soon become a first-line option pending regulatory approval, experts say.
Women who drank 1–3 cups of caffeinated coffee daily in midlife were more likely to reach older age with better cognitive, physical, and mental health. The benefit was unique to coffee — not tea or soda. Still, researchers caution it’s not a universal prescription due to hormonal and individual differences.
Dr. Eric Topol’s research reveals Super Agers—those living into their 80s+ disease-free—don’t share special genes. Instead, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management drive longevity. New technologies like organ clocks and polygenic risk scores offer hope for preventing chronic illness. Topol himself follows the evidence-based practices he promotes.
After 14 years, Wendy Harvie left her job as a PSW due to violence and burnout. She faced repeated physical abuse from residents and lacked job security. Her experience reflects rising long-term care worker shortages in Canada, as many staff leave due to unsafe conditions, low pay, and poor support.

Public health experts urge voluntary immunization, citing trust issues. Alberta and Ontario continue to report high infection rates and hospitalizations, especially in children.
