Not all public-health news is doom and gloom
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskMost public-health news from America is gloomy. About 100,000 people die each year from drug overdoses. Life expectancy, which used to creep steadily up year after year, has gone into reverse: America is unusual among rich countries in that life expectancy has fallen back to a level it was last at in the mid-1990s. Within that overall picture though, there have been improvements.
How has this improvement come about? Three-quarters of women with health insurance have regular mammograms, which result in earlier detection. Treatments have also become more targeted. Doctors are now able to divide breast cancer diagnoses into subtypes based on whether the cancer contains oestrogen and progesterone receptors, which means they are sensitive to hormones, and whether they have high levels of2 protein, which stimulates cell growth.
