The face of cancer in the US is shifting from older to younger patients - and from men to women. Over the past three decades, cancer deaths have fallen 34 percent, leading to 4.5million fewer deaths over that period, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) report. But while rates of disease have generally declined among men, they appear to be climbing among women, especially young women.

Plastic surgeons weigh in on Trump AG pick Pam Bondi's age-defying look
Donald Trump 's pick for attorney general stunned at her Senate confirmation hearing this week. And it wasn't just her quick answers and political acumen that impressed. People couldn't believe that the rising MAGA star was 59 years old, with social media full of posts gushing about her age-defying looks. Cosmetic experts have credited her youthful appearance, in part, to her incredible weight loss journey, estimating she had shed 50 to 70lbs in recent years. Dr Norman Rowe, a plastic surgeon in Florida and New York City , said Bondi's 'stunning' physical transformation shows 'an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure'. Meanwhile, Dr Paul Rosenberg - a plastic surgeon in New York City - believes her look was achieved with skillful use of makeup, hair dye and a rigorous skincare routine.

If your body is bigger in these areas you are at higher risk of colon cancer... no matter your age
Where you store fat, as opposed to how much you have, may be a bigger risk factor for colon cancer. Researchers found they could catch twice as many cases if they screened for people's waist and hip sizes, rather than using on body mass index (BMI). People with a large belly and narrower hips, sometimes called an 'apple shape', were up to 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed than those with a 'pear-shaped' body. By comparison, patients with the highest body BMIs were 23 percent more likely to develop colon cancer than those with the lowest. The study of nearly half a million adults suggests that being 'centrally obese' is more dangerous than how much you weigh.
Biden's shameful legacy: Report lays bare humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan after catastrophic withdrawal
A recent survey by researchers at Lawrence Technical University in the US reported that nearly 90 percent of Afghans were going hungry, 84 percent had lost access to healthcare, and 85 percent had received threats of violence. The chaotic withdrawal of US involvement in Afghanistan, its bolstering of the military, its government, and counterinsurgency activities, has been designated a stain on Joe Biden 's presidency.
Dementia explosion stunningly linked to one of America's favorite foods
Eating too much bacon or hot dogs raises the risk of dementia later in life, according to a major government-funded study. Harvard researchers looked at 133,000 adults for four decades and evaluated how much processed and unprocessed red meat they ate on an average per day. They found that eating one serving of processed red meat - roughly two slices of bacon or a single sausage - increased dementia risk by 13 percent. Additionally, consuming at least one serving of unprocessed meat - ground beef or lamb, for example - was linked to a 16 percent increased chance of cognitive decline, a precursor to dementia.
Harvard researchers reveal exact temperature to set the thermostat to ward off dementia
Harvard researchers have found the ideal temperature to set your house to in order to ward off dementia. After tracking dozens of over-65s for one year, the team found that a temperature between 68F and 75F (20 to 24C) was best. They said that older adults whose homes were in this range were less likely to self-report difficulty concentrating than those whose homes were hotter or colder.
