Evaluation of the 2018 WCRF/AICR cancer prevention recommendations in Asia
Using pooled data from the Asia Cohort Consortium, this study examines if following 2018 WCRF/AICR cancer prevention recommendations can reduce cancer risk in Asia and guide regional policies
How does fat distribution influence obesity-related cancer risk? Exploring causality and mechanisms
This study aims to determine if body fat location influences cancer risk, using UK Biobank and Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children datasets to inform targeted prevention strategies for obesity-related cancers
Metabolic syndrome, gut microbiome, and breast cancer risk in Sub-Saharan African women
The ABCS study examines how metabolic syndrome and the gut microbiome may impact breast cancer risk in Ghanaian women to support prevention strategies and personalised care in Sub-Saharan Africa
How do persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in diet affect endometrial and breast cancer risk?
How does exercise improve cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced breast cancer?
