Consistent adherence to physical activity guidelines and digestive system cancer risk and mortality

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The findings of this study suggest that maintaining a moderate level of physical activity of approximately 17 metabolic equivalent task-hours/week (i.e., 5 hours of brisk walking or 2 hours of running each week) over 3 decades was sufficient to achieve optimal benefit in reducing digestive system cancer risk.

Beliefs about the effect of alcohol use on cancer risk in the us adult population

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The findings of this study highlight the persistence of misbeliefs and knowledge gaps about the link between alcohol and cancer among U.S. adults, which may contribute to the continuous increase in alcohol consumption. Individuals who drink alcohol were more likely to believe that alcohol consumption has no effect on cancer risk, which is alarming, given the growing burden of alcohol-related cancers in the U.S.

Americans have widespread misbeliefs about the cancer risks of alcohol, study finds

University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Despite clear evidence linking alcohol use to increased cancer risks, public awareness of this connection remains low in the U.S., according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Researchers found that more than half of American adults (52.9%) did not know alcohol affects cancer risk.

Breast cancer risk varies between different hormonal contraceptives

Uppsala University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Some common hormonal contraceptives are linked to a slightly higher risk of breast cancer than others. This is shown by a new Swedish study from Uppsala University, in which researchers followed more than two million women and teenage girls in Sweden to identify how different hormonal contraceptives affect the risk of breast cancer.

Safeguarding fertility: pioneering study investigates key hormone for women with cancer choosing fertility preservation

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Cancer Center at Illinois
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Newly diagnosed female cancer patients of reproductive age have a very short window for storing their eggs and embryos before starting cancer treatment. This is a process known as fertility preservation (FP), which protects patients’ ability to have children in the future after completing cancer treatment. Currently, scientists cannot predict which women will be successful in achieving a pregnancy or a healthy live birth after completing chemotherapy and undergoing FP. In a recent study, researchers identified Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels as a prognostic indicator for success rates in fertility treatments.
