Research gives mum hope after breast lump in pregnancy
After finding a lump in her breast at six months pregnant, Sarah faced something no mother should have to experience: a newborn baby and a cancer diagnosis.
Are colon cancer subtypes linked to a greater risk of recurrence – and could diet be relevant?
A particular colon cancer subtype, imCMS4, was linked to the highest risk of recurrence, and a more ‘pro-inflammatory’ diet was associated with greater recurrence risk in this same subgroup.
