A 3-month-old French bulldog named Tyson spontaneously regrew most of his lower left jaw after it had to be removed to treat his cancer, marking the first documented case of jaw regeneration in a dog following oral cancer surgery. The surgery left much of the jaw’s periosteum intact, and Tyson's young age likely contributed to the remarkable recovery. While his new jaw isn't as functional as the old one, Tyson remains cancer-free and is living life to the fullest, with hopes that his case can help doctors understand how to achieve similar outcomes for other dogs in the future.

Four women in London have undergone a pioneering two-in-one operation combining cancer surgery to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer with a Caesarean birth, in what doctors believe is a first. The simultaneous surgery, performed during the Caesarean delivery, eliminates the need for a separate risk-reducing operation to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries. While the procedure carries risks such as increased blood loss and early menopause, it offers an alternative to the standard surgery and reduces the waiting time for at-risk women. One patient, who had the surgery due to a BRCA gene variant, expressed no regrets and praised the convenience of having both procedures done at once.
