A whole-body MRI revealed she had a brain aneurysm like Kim Kardashian. What happened? A full-body scan every few years, for some, is a small price to pay for a wide-ranging check-up. Is it the right choice for everyone? That depends.

It's easy for many, from sexually active people to medical providers, in the United States to dismiss HIV given how much cases have declined. But a decline does not mean a disappearance. www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

Everyone's buzzing about the blood test that detects 50 types of cancer. I tried it. Is Galleri the future of cancer treatment? It's not that simple. The new research from the company, while promising, isn't some cure-all.

I thought grief camp would make me cry. I can’t stop smiling. Grief is not just one thing – nor is it something a day-long event tackles on all fronts. But the Wendt Center in Washington, D.C., tackles a lot.

This 25-year-old survived breast cancer. Now, she's dealing with menopause. Alexis Klimpl, 25, is one of a growing number of women under 40 diagnosed with breast cancer in recent years. Now, she's a survivor with menopause.

Alexis Klimpl felt an itch. So, like anyone else, she went to scratch it. But her fingers curled around something else. A massive lump on her right breast.
