Breast cancer cause: How to identify symptoms, precautions, and why it's rising among young women
Hina Khan Breast Cancer (Google Trends): Actress Hina Khan has been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and has begun treatment. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, with rising cases, especially among younger women due to lifestyle factors. Early detection through self-examinations and mammograms, along with a healthy lifestyle, is crucial for successful treatment and reducing risk.
Do you use Listerine Cool Mint mouthwash? It may increase your cancer risk, claims a study
A study in the Journal of Medical Microbiology warns of increased cancer risks associated with regular use of Listerine Cool Mint mouthwash. Researchers link its use to heightened levels of oral bacteria linked to conditions like periodontal disease and cancers of the esophagus and colon. Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular care is advised to mitigate these risks.
Cancer update: 'Western diet' responsible for rising colorectal cancer?
Diet may be pivotal factor behind rising colorectal cancer among young adults. Researchers at Ohio State University have pointed out at "Western diet".
If I'm diagnosed with one cancer, am I likely to get another?
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can lead to concerns about the cancer returning. Cancer recurrence, when the same type of cancer reappears after a period of remission, can occur due to dormant cancer cells. Risk factors for recurrence and developing second, unrelated cancers are influenced by various factors, including lifestyle choices and treatment effects. Regular follow-ups and healthy habits can help reduce these risks.
Watch what you eat! Your diet can have a influence on your descendant's genes!
Genes, regions of DNA that are largely responsible for our physical characteristics, were considered unchanging under the original model of genetics pioneered by biologist Gregor Mendel in 1865. That is, genes were thought to be largely unaffected by a person's environment.
Princess of Wales and King Charles: one in two people develop cancer during their lives - the diseases and treatments explained
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. One in two people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime - so the condition will affect almost every family. However, many cancers can be cured if, as appears to be the case with the king, the condition is detected early and treated effectively.

Breast cancer most 'inherited' cancers in the world: Report
According to Dr Sunny Jain, cancer care/oncology, senior consultant and HoD - oncology, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, about five to 10 per cent of cancers are inherited cancers in which an individual inherits a copy of a defective gene from one parent, and a working copy of the same gene from the other parent.
Researchers develop new AI tool may help better detect, treat cancers
Researchers have introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool named iStar (Inferring Super-Resolution Tissue Architecture) that enhances the clarity of medical images for improved cancer diagnosis.

Since the 1990s, studies of Neanderthal DNA have exposed our species' intertwined history.
People living in economically depressed areas of England more likely to be diagnosed with cancer, claims new study
Those living in London had the lowest risk of dying from cancer. Even people living in poorer parts of London still had a lower risk of dying from cancer compared to those living in equally deprived areas of the country.
US FDA approves two gene therapies for sickle cell disease
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two gene therapies for sickle cell disease, including the first treatment in the US based on CRISPR gene editing technology. Casgevy, developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, and bluebird bio's Lyfgenia were approved for people aged 12 years and older.
A guide to the anti-cancer diet: Eat more broccoli, feast on some tomatoes
Scientists have a good idea of what foods you should avoid to reduce your risk of cancer, such as red and processed meats, "fast" or processed foods, alcohol and sugary drinks.
Colon cancer often detected only in advanced stages, 10 % of patients are younger than 50 yrs
According to the Mayo Clinic, colon or bowel cancer refers to the growth of malignant cells in the colon or the large intestine.
Breast cancer becoming more common in Indian women below 50; Zerodha boss Nithin Kamath urges female followers to get annual check-up
Once thought to be an ‘older woman’s disease’, breast cancer is increasingly becoming frighteningly common among young women- below 40.
About 70 per cent of premature cancer deaths in 2020 preventable, 30 per cent treatable: Lancet study
The IARC conducts and coordinates research into the causes of cancer and is an intergovernmental agency under the World Health Organization of the United Nations. Tobacco, alcohol, obesity, and infections accounted for roughly 1.3 million deaths in women across all age groups in 2020, the study reported, acknowledging that the burden of cancer in women due to these risk factors was widely under-recognised.
Breakthrough discovery! Scientists find new genes linked to higher risk of colorectal cancer
Researchers from Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center have discovered new genes that increase the risk of colon and rectal cancer. The researchers identified two previously unreported genes, TRPSI and METRNL, that have an oncogenic role in cancer development.
Cancer is rising in under-50s - but the causes are a mystery
New research has shown that the number of younger adults being diagnosed with cancer has increased by almost 80% globally in the last three decades. The study also found that cancers typically associated with older age groups, such as bowel, stomach, breast, uterine, and pancreatic cancer, are increasingly being diagnosed in younger people. The rise in early-onset cancer is a cause for concern, as some of these cancers have low survival rates due to late-stage diagnosis.
Scientists identify four new breast cancer risk genes
Scientists have found at least four new genes associated with breast cancer that may help identify women at increased risk of the disease. The finding, published recently in the journal Nature Genetics, also provides crucial information on the biological mechanisms underlying cancer development, potentially opening the way to identifying new treatments.
Air pollution likely to increase non-lung cancer risk in older adults, says new study
Long-term exposure to fine particle air pollutants such as PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can increase non-lung cancer risks, according to a study. Researchers looked at data of 2.2 million to 6.5 million US Medicare beneficiaries, all cancer-free for at least the first 10 years of the study, collected from 2000-2016.
Daily consumption of sugary drinks leads to higher risk of liver cancer in women: Study
Women who consume sugar-sweetened beverages daily are at a higher risk of developing liver cancer and chronic liver disease mortality, as found by an observational study by Brigham and Women's Hospital in the US.
