Do mobile phones cause brain cancer? New study has definitive answers

The relationship between mobile phone use and an increased risk of brain cancer is a debate that’s been around almost as long as mobile phones themselves. A huge study from the WHO that’s just been released should put the question to rest.Continue Read… Continue reading Do mobile phones cause brain cancer? New study has definitive answers

First lung cancer vaccine given to patient in international trial

A 67-year-old London man with lung cancer has been the first to receive a new cancer vaccine as part of an international trial. The early-stage research will test the immune therapy’s safety and whether it can be used together with existing cancer trea… Continue reading First lung cancer vaccine given to patient in international trial

Fasting’s effects on stem cells linked to increased cancer risk

A new study from MIT has revealed the exact mechanism by which fasting causes intestinal stem cells to regenerate, which is one of the practice’s benefits. However, the study also showed a downside that needs to be considered when breaking a fast.Conti… Continue reading Fasting’s effects on stem cells linked to increased cancer risk

‘Super-humanized’ mice with 100% human immune systems are a big deal

For the first time, scientists have successfully created a type of mouse with a 100% functional human immune system and human-like gut microbiome. This ‘humanized’ mouse takes the guesswork out of medical research and has the potential to revolutionize… Continue reading ‘Super-humanized’ mice with 100% human immune systems are a big deal

Talc “probably” causes cancer, WHO agency finds

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer research agency has delivered a damning report on powdered mineral talc, calling it “probably” cancer-causing to humans, mainly because of powders being unknowingly contaminated with asbestos.Continue Readin… Continue reading Talc “probably” causes cancer, WHO agency finds

‘Ozempic drugs’ reduce obesity-associated cancer risk by up to 65%

Only last week, we reported on one of the few negative stories about semaglutide, a member of the class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s or GLP-1RAs) that are used to treat diabetes and/or weight loss.Continue Reading… Continue reading ‘Ozempic drugs’ reduce obesity-associated cancer risk by up to 65%

Fasting supercharges the cancer-killing properties of immune cells

Things that help the body fight cancer are good, especially if they’re easy to implement and don’t require a doctor’s prescription. In a recent study, researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center in New York investigated how fastin… Continue reading Fasting supercharges the cancer-killing properties of immune cells

X-rays light up brain tumor cells – then selectively destroy them

X-rays are known to penetrate the body’s deep tissues, which is why they’re used to deliver cancer radiotherapy. Whereas radiotherapy uses X-ray beams to damage tumor cells’ DNA, killing them, photodynamic therapy uses a different method to achieve the… Continue reading X-rays light up brain tumor cells – then selectively destroy them

100% of cancers cured long-term in “remarkable” human trial

In what researchers have called an “unprecedented” response, a new drug that treats locally advanced rectal cancer has shown to have completely eradicated tumors in all 42 patients who took part in the Phase II trial.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, … Continue reading 100% of cancers cured long-term in “remarkable” human trial
