The Top Ten.(top health stories of the year)(Brief Article)(Editorial)
It was a year that saw major advances in medicine and health--fields that are ever more complicated and confusing. Cutting-edge technology and new (often contradictory) studies seemed to appear every day, making it hard for readers concerned about their own and their families' health to sort out what was accurate and important. In this special Health for Life section, we report on the year's 10 most important health stories (they're not ranked in any particular order).
Science has come up with some amazing answers to an array of daunting problems. Researchers are moving closer to effective treatments for cancer and Alzheimer's and diseases caused by assaults from our own immune systems. Innovators are exploring bold new approaches to stroke- -a problem that kills more than 5 million people every year.
