Trusted Oncology Guidelines Get a Digital Makeover: National Comprehensive Cancer Network Launches NCCN Guidelines Navigator
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)—an alliance of leading cancer centers—announces a new, interactive digital delivery format for the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®). The NCCN Guidelines® are the recognized standard for clinical decision making and policy in cancer care and are the most thorough and frequently updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. They assist in the decision-making process of individuals involved in cancer care and prevention—including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, payers, patients and their caregivers—with the ultimate goal of improving patient care and outcomes.
The new NCCN Guidelines Navigator ™ presents the evidence-based, expert consensus-driven recommendations from the NCCN Guidelines in a virtual platform that allows users to search and navigate more easily. Access to the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ is available with a free NCCN account for non-commercial use. Features of the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ include:
'This is truly the future of cancer treatment guidance,' said Crystal S. Denlinger, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. 'Cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and supportive care that follows internationally-trusted guidelines has been shown time and again to improve outcomes for people with cancer. I'm proud that we've achieved our ambitious goal for increasing the accessibility and usability of the content from the NCCN Guidelines without compromising any quality.'
The NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ recently began beta testing for colon and prostate cancers. That was followed by rectal cancer, which was published on June 16, 2025. NCCN will continue to publish NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ for additional cancer types until all 88 NCCN Guidelines are available in the new format. The original pdf format will also remain available for all NCCN Guidelines. Both forms will feature the most up-to-date information users rely upon for daily use in cancer care and prevention.
People who access the NCCN Guidelines in any format, including via the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™, can earn CE/MOC credit through the new NCCN Guidelines in Practice ™—which was just announced earlier this month.
NCCN also plans to continue to optimize this new tool, including adding artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to make searching even more conversational and intuitive, plus increased integration with NCCN's other resource offerings.
'It has been 30 years since we first launched the NCCN Guidelines; since then, they have come to be used by millions of people worldwide every year, including more than 90% of U.S. and global physicians surveyed,' said Dr. Denlinger. 'Cancer care is becoming increasingly effective but also more complicated every year. The new NCCN Guidelines Navigator tool simplifies the evolving evidence from the latest research, leverages expertise to put it into context, and places it at the point-of-care for decision-making support and education. This new resource integrates everything we do to support people with cancer and their care providers by defining and advancing quality, effective, equitable, and accessible cancer care and prevention so all people can live better lives.'

Chihuahua Puppy Tries Strawberries and Dramatically Loses Her Tiny Mind
Chihuahua Puppy Tries Strawberries and Dramatically Loses Her Tiny Mind originally appeared on Parade Pets. There's nothing cuter than a little puppy trying a new food for the first time, especially if the little pup has a reaction like this tiny Chihuahua encountering her first taste of strawberries. She hops, she bounces, she lunges, she goes in for the attack, and backs her booty up. We can't tell if she loves the fruit or wants to fight it, but either way, she's too cute for it to matter. One person asked, "Is that a dog rabbit? It looks mixed." Another person said, "Oh, she is just about the cutest thing ever." She really is! Those strawberries are almost bigger than she is!You may be wondering if it's OK for your own dog or puppy to eat strawberries, and the answer is yes. Strawberries are a safe and healthy treat for dogs when served properly and eaten in moderation. PetMD explains, "Strawberries boast several health benefits for dogs. Not only are they high in immune system-boosting vitamins, including vitamins C, B-1, B-6, and K, but they're also loaded with fiber and contain omega-3, which helps support coat health." It's important to keep portion sizes small, especially with little puppies, because too many berries can cause an upset stomach, and no one wants that! Another precaution the article does mention is that whole strawberries can be a choking hazard, especially for small pups. Always slice strawberries into smaller pieces before serving. Remove the stems and leaves, too, so they don't become a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages. So, as cute as it may be seeing a tiny puppy next to a big bowl of strawberries, safety first, so cut up the fruit so your fur baby can safely enjoy it. 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Chihuahua Puppy Tries Strawberries and Dramatically Loses Her Tiny Mind first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Kraft Heinz Food company recalls over 360,000 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon
( — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety and Inspection Services announced that Kraft Heinz Foods Company recalled almost 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products that may have been adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The turkey bacon was produced from April 24 through June 11, and the following labels were recalled. According to FSIS, the products subject to recall bear the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the label. The items photographed above were sold at retail locations nationwide, and some were sent to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. Public House Downtown announce closure after 13 years of service FSIS said that officials found the program after laboratory testing at the establishments showed that the product could have been contaminated with LM. At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of customers having reactions due to the consumption of the products. 'Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected,' FSIS said. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions that sometimes could be preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, FSIS stated. FSIS said, 'Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Why Your Nervous System Might Be at War With Modern Life
A viral TikTok video is striking a deep chord with viewers who say it perfectly explains why they're exhausted, anxious, and burned out. The message? It's not just you—your nervous system may be in survival mode all the time. Brittany Piper, a 36-year-old Somatic Experiencing® practitioner and author of Body-First Healing, posted a video in March that's now racked up nearly half a million views. In it, she argues that our modern lives are fundamentally out of sync with what the human body—and especially the nervous system—was built to handle. 'It is my personal and professional belief that the drastic rise we are seeing in chronic physical and mental illness can be attributed to this one thing,' Piper says. 'We have created a world that our nervous system no longer wants to live in.' Piper compares the nervous system to a security alarm, constantly scanning for danger. In our fast-paced, hyper-connected world, it's often triggered, not just by traumatic events, but by everyday stressors like digital overload, political division, economic uncertainty, and social disconnection. The result? Our bodies stay locked in survival states like fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, flooding us with cortisol and adrenaline. She told Newsweek that this ongoing activation can lead to anxiety, fatigue, pain, and other chronic issues. 'Many of the symptoms we face today at alarming rates,' she said, 'are not random symptoms, but the body's intelligent responses to overwhelm.' Piper's video has struck a nerve with thousands of viewers who say they've been desperate for answers, and her explanation finally makes sense of what they've been feeling. Her advice? Healing doesn't mean pushing harder. It means slowing down, grounding yourself, and building awareness of what your body is trying to tell you. Piper suggests starting with small actions: feel your feet on the ground, notice your breath, or identify something comforting in your environment. These steps, she says, can build a sense of internal safety and help regulate the nervous system. 'Healing is less about doing more,' Piper adds, 'and more about doing less, with more attunement.' As conversations around mental health, trauma, and somatic therapy gain mainstream traction, Piper's viral theory offers both validation and a practical path forward, especially for those who feel like they're stuck in overdrive.
