Cosmetic surgery is more popular than ever, with almost 1.9 million procedures performed in 2013 alone, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Prostate cancer affects one in seven men at some point of their lives, with over 3 million in the United States affected today. In contrast, around half of all men will experience some form of hair loss by the age of 50, often beginning with a receding hairline. But what do these conditions have in common? According to a new study, they might be linked. A connection between prostate cancer and baldness has been suspected for some time. Not only are both conditions often associated with aging, but patients also typically have a family history of the condition. Furthermore, a hormone derived from testosterone affects the development of both. To test the connection, a research team tested 39,070 men with no history of cancer beyond non-melanoma skin cancer.

Kris Sanchez's story is the American Dream narrative. Writers like Horatio Alger would tell tales of protagonists like Sanchez, who through hard work and savvy strategies could rise to a place of prosperity and prestige in the United States.
