Is exercise helpful after oesophageal cancer surgery?
We’re investigating the effect of exercise on quality of life in patients after surgery for oesophageal cancer
An examination of the methods for assessing preventability of cancer
We’re researching the different ways in which the proportion of potentially preventable cancers is estimated
Folate status, HPV persistence and cervical cancer risk
A higher concentration of folate in cervical cells, and a chemical change in the DAPK gene, are predictors of HPV persistence
Evaluating the protective effect of folate against lung cancer in a large European prospective study
Blood concentrations of vitamin B6 and methionine were lower in lung cancer cases than in controls in a study funded by WCRF International
Evaluating the effects of B and D vitamins in renal cell cancer
Lower concentrations of vitamin B6 were associated with higher risk of renal cell cancer, and poorer prognosis.
Epigenetic events in cervical cancer: modulating effects of B vitamins and genotype
This study supports a role for folate in determining cervical cancer risk, possibly through HR-HPV infection
The effect of physical activity on heart health in blood cancer patients
We’re investigating if you can prevent the adverse cardiometabolic consequences of allogeneic stem cell transplant with physical activity
Folic acid intake and breast cancer risk
Our findings, funded by WCRF, support epidemiological studies that suggest a U-shaped relationship between folate and cancer risk
Effect of folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation on DNA methylation
This study shows that supplementation with folic acid & vitamin B12 does not result in pronounced effects on DNA methylation
