Age Impacts Therapy Outcomes in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
New evidence ties age to outcomes in metastatic prostate cancer A new study published in the October 28, 2025 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine adds an important dimension to how doctors tailor systemic therapy for metastatic prostate cancer. While factors such as tumor biology, disease burden, and prior treatments have long guided…

65-Year-Old Tattoo: Sandee’s 17 Ink Stories
From a Quiet Moment to a Bold Statement Sandee Althouse didn’t set out to rewrite her story in ink. At 65, she walked into a Silver Lake gift shop in a simple, almost austere black dress, carrying herself with a discipline that suggested years of achievement. Yet underneath that composed exterior lay a restless urge…

Longevity Breakthrough: Oxytocin + A5i Extend Lifespan
Overview New research suggests a dual-drug approach could unlock longer life in aging organisms. In a study published in Ageing-US, scientists explored a combination therapy using oxytocin and OT+A5i, a compound that blocks a key growth-regulating pathway. The aim: slow aging processes and improve healthspan by addressing two biological pathways that change with age. The…
