New test may predict kidney cancer recurrence
Scientists at the University of Michigan have discovered a way to predict which kidney cancer patients are more likely to have their cancer come back after treatment. Their research could help doctors decide who needs extra treatment and who doesnÕt, making care more personalized instead of using a Òone-size-fits-allÓ approach.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may lower cancer risk
New research from the University of Georgia suggests that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids could help reduce the risk of developing several types of cancer. These healthy fats, already known for their benefits in lowering cholesterol, supporting brain health, and improving mental well-being, may play a key role in cancer prevention as well.
Study finds new potential for prostate cancer immunotherapy
A new study by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that an immunotherapy previously shown to be ineffective against prostate cancer may have therapeutic potential when combined with a synergistic treatment approach. The paper was published in the journal Cancer Immunology Research.
The Popular White Vegetable That Can Prevent Cancer, Heart Disease, And Diabetes All At Once
Although all vegetables bring a level of healthiness to the equation, as well as properties that can help prevent diseases and ailments,Ênot every vegetable can do it all.
