A recent UK research study shows that 40% of all cancers are caused by avoidable lifestyle considerations, such as diet, excess weight, smoking, and/or alcohol consumption. Tobacco use was shown to cause the most cancers. “Many people believe cancer is down to fate or ‘in the genes’ and that it is the luck of the [...] Feeding blueberry powder to mice significantly reduced the growth and spread of triple negative breast cancer cells, a very aggressive form of cancer. These were the results of several studies conducted recently at the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope, Duarte, CA. Triple negative breast cancer accounts for 10 to 15% of all [...] The fat and cholesterol that is so common in the Western diet may make people more susceptible to breast cancer. The study, published in the American Journal of Pathology, indicates mice fed diets high in fat and cholesterol developed twice as many tumors as mice that ate limited amounts of fat and cholesterol. The mice [...] Photo by Andrejs Pidjass Some studies extol the benefits of red wine for its powerful antioxidant qualities. And yet, there is new conflicting information for survivors of breast cancer. A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology cliams that even moderate amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of breast cancer in [...] Study shows creast-cancer risk was highest among women who reported the most use of cleaning products and air fresheners, and was double the risk for those who reported low use of the products. [...] A new study found that certain women getting a lumpectomy may not need an operation to remove underarm lymph nodes, a procedure that can leave them with painfully swollen arms. Compared with not removing the nodes, the surgery did not prolong survival or prevent recurrence of the cancer. And a second study found that a [...] Researchers in Philadelphia are among those seeking to expand the use of lasers to target tumors and curtail side effects. This treatment method is called Photodynamic Therapy, and has been used for many years as a non-invasive safe treatment for stopping bleeding in the retina. [...] Cancer drugs and radiation target and kill fast-growing cancer cells. But a small number of noncancer cells in the tumor often survive. These, researchers believe, are “mother” cells — stem cells that shrug off treatment and survive to manufacture more cancer cells. [...] Women who live in neighborhoods with large amounts of nighttime light are more likely to get breast cancer than those who live in areas where the nights are darker. This reinforces previous studies that exposure to too much light at night can raise the risk of breast cancer by interfering with the brain’s production of [...] Breast cancer is a disease so directly related to vitamin D deficiency that a woman’s risk of contracting the disease can be ‘virtually eradicated’ by elevating her vitamin D status to what vitamin D scientists consider to be natural blood levels, according to vitamin D pioneer Dr. Cedric Garland [...] |
