Opinion: The science on relieving cancer symptoms is clear. Why isn't insurance paying?

Research demonstrates that integrative therapies effectively reduce cancer-related pain, fatigue, anxiety, and nausea, yet insurance companies frequently deny coverage for these evidence-based treatments. These complementary approaches, used alongside conventional cancer care, have shown significant clinical benefits in improving quality of life for cancer patients. Despite scientific validation, patients face financial barriers accessing therapies like acupuncture, massage, meditation, and nutritional counseling. This coverage gap raises important questions about insurance policies and patient access to proven symptom management strategies during cancer treatment.

Opinion: Social Media Bans Are Spreading Globally—How Will Researchers Measure Teen Health Impact?

As countries worldwide implement social media bans targeting teenagers, researchers face a critical opportunity to study the real-world effects on adolescent mental health and wellbeing. Camilla Iannone from Wellcome emphasizes that rigorous scientific examination is essential to understand whether these regulatory measures actually improve teen outcomes. The debate centers on social media's documented links to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns among young people. Without systematic research during this period of regulatory change, policymakers and parents won't have concrete evidence about effectiveness. Expert consensus suggests coordinated studies are needed to evaluate both the benefits and potential harms of social media restrictions on adolescent development.
