Certain cancers are becoming a bigger problem for just about everyone. New research shows cases of several obesity-related cancers have been rising across the globe and across different age groups. Scientists in the UK examined cancer surveillance data spanning 15 years from dozens of countries, including the U.S. They found that, in most countries, several cancer types had increased in …

A new blood test capable of detecting more than 50 types of cancer has delivered highly promising results in one of the largest interventional screening trials to date. The PATHFINDER 2 study of the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test showed a more than seven-fold increase in cancer detection rates when added to standard recommended screenings. Major Breakthrough in Cancer …

A nanoparticle vaccine has shown great promise in preventing three types of cancer in mice, as well as stopping tumors from spreading when they were exposed to cancerous cells.  Cancer vaccines have moved from the sci-fi dream realm into actual scientific possibility within just a few short decade. We’re not just talking about the HPV vaccine, incredible though its success …

A blood test for more than 50 types of cancer could help speed up diagnosis according to a new study. Results of a trial in north America show that the test was able to identify a wide range of cancers, of which three quarters don’t have any form of screening programme. More than half the cancers were detected at an …

Developing comprehensive screening for early-stage cancer is the key to saving the most lives. Although multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are still being researched and lack FDA approval, several are commercially available for consumers who are willing to pay out of pocket. Individuals can ask their doctor to order the Galleri blood test from Grail, or they can opt for …

Cancer cells unleash a rapid burst of energy when physically squeezed, triggering mitochondria to rush around the nucleus and deliver extra ATP. This newfound mechanism, observed in both lab experiments and patient biopsies, helps cells repair DNA damage and survive extreme stress. Credit: Stock The discovery of a defensive mechanism could help stop cancer before it spreads. Cancer cells rapidly …

By Nicolas Hulscher, MPH About a month ago, the first-ever population cohort study reported increased cancer risks following COVID-19 vaccination. In Italy, nearly 300,000 residents were tracked for 30 months, showing that mRNA shots significantly increased the risk of overall cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, and colorectal cancer. Now, a second—and far larger—population-based cohort study by Kim et al from South Korea has …

Specific combinations of microbes living in our mouths have been associated with one of the deadliest cancers in humans, suggesting good oral hygiene could do more than just save our teeth. “It is clearer than ever that brushing and flossing your teeth may not only help prevent periodontal disease but may also protect against cancer,” explains cancer epidemiologist Richard Hayes …

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. If detected early, it can be efficiently treated, but the cost and discomfort of colonoscopies — the main diagnostic method currently in use — often result in delayed diagnosis. Using machine learning algorithms, a team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) identified for the first time all human gut …
