Are colon cancer subtypes linked to a greater risk of recurrence – and could diet be relevant?

A scientist wearing a white lab coat looks into a microscope at a laboratory workstation, with laboratory equipment and a computer also visible nearby.

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.

Could dairy processing help explain inconsistent findings on dairy consumption and breast cancer risk?

A metal nozzle fills glass jars with milk on a production line. The jars are held in place by blue plastic holders, arranged in rows on a white tray.

Could dairy processing help explain inconsistent findings on dairy consumption and breast cancer risk?

A new review suggests the way dairy foods are processed may alter their chemistry in ways that could help explain the inconsistent findings on dairy intake and breast cancer risk.

Closing the gaps in cancer prevention

A person holds several colourful disposable vape pens, including green, blue, pink, and black, in their hands—evoking concerns similar to those raised by health-harming sports sponsorship that can glamourise risky behaviours.
