Patients with one or more health conditions are more likely to be screened for colorectal cancer than those without comorbidities, according to new research in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine. However, patients with five or more health conditions are also less likely to be screened than patients with two to four health conditions. Colorectal cancer […]

During the first wave of the corona pandemic, 36 per cent fewer men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in Sweden than in previous years. On the other hand, the number of patients receiving curative treatment for prostate cancer was unaffected. This is shown by a new register study led by Uppsala University researchers, whose results […]
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which cancer cells of a relatively benign subtype of pancreatic tumors methodically revert—or ‘de-differentiate’—to a progenitor, or immature, state of cellular development to spawn highly aggressive tumors that are capable of metastasis to the liver and lymph nodes. The study, led by Ludwig […]
Menopausal symptoms – hot flushes and night sweats – experienced by women with breast cancer can be reduced through group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered by breast care nurses, a new clinical trial reveals. Up to 85% of women with breast cancer suffer from hot flushes and night sweats due to chemotherapy and hormone therapy […]
I wake up every day during chemo week with what can only be described as the worst hangover I’ve ever had. I swallow a hand full of pills and get ready to cycle to the hospital. Although the chemo drains me, I’ve been biking the 30 mile round trip to my cancer treatments because, determined […]
Being Black or Hispanic, living in high-poverty neighborhoods, and having Medicaid or no insurance coverage are associated with higher mortality in men and women under 40 with cancer, a review by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found. Survival is not different because of biology. It's not different because of patient-level factors. No matter which way […]
Understanding the components that control cell division is fundamental to understanding how life works and how alterations in this delicate process can cause diseases such as cancer. It was precisely the discoveries of "key regulators of the cell cycle" and their implications for processes such as cancer, that won the British scientists R. Timothy Hunt […]
Cancer patients from the UK were 1.5 times more likely to die following a diagnosis with COVID-19 than cancer patients from European countries. This is the finding of a study of over 1000 patients—924 from European countries and 468 from the UK—during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research team, led by Imperial […]
(HealthDay)—Most people are familiar with common sun-protection advice, from wearing and reapplying sunscreen to putting on a hat. But a new Canadian study finds that for people who take certain blood pressure medications, that advice becomes even more critical because those drugs can increase their sensitivity to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The researchers […]
