High consumption of red and processed meat is commonly associated with increased cancer risk, particularly colorectal cancer. Antibodies against the red meat-derived carbohydrate N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) exacerbate cancer in “human-like” mice. Human anti-Neu5Gc IgG and red meat are both independently proposed to increase cancer risk, yet how diet affects these antibodies is largely unknown.. ..We… Continue reading Association between Neu5Gc carbohydrate and serum antibodies against it provides the molecular link to #cancer: French NutriNet-Santé study

Linked Color Imaging Focused on Neoplasm Detection in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
Linked color imaging (LCI) is a new image-enhanced endoscopy technique that allows users to recognize slight differences in mucosal color To compare the performance of LCI with white light imaging (WLI) in detecting neoplastic lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract.. ..752 patients were assigned to the WLI group and 750 to the LCI group. The… Continue reading Linked Color Imaging Focused on Neoplasm Detection in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
Effect of time of day of recreational and household #physical activity on prostate and breast #cancer risk (MCC‐Spain study)
Experimental evidence indicates that exercise performed at different times of the day may affect circadian rhythms and circadian disruption has been linked to breast and prostate cancer. We examined in a population‐based case‐control study (MCC‐Spain) if the time‐of‐day when physical activity is done affects prostate and breast cancer risk. Lifetime recreational and household physical activity… Continue reading Effect of time of day of recreational and household #physical activity on prostate and breast #cancer risk (MCC‐Spain study)
Association of postoperative #influenza vaccine on overall mortality in patients undergoing curative surgery for solid #tumors
Recent findings have found that the influenza vaccine induces changes in the immune system in favor of anti‐tumor cytotoxicity. The aim in this study was to investigate if an influenza vaccine given in the postoperative period decreased overall and cancer‐specific mortality in patients undergoing curative surgery for solid cancers. We conducted a registry‐based national observational… Continue reading Association of postoperative #influenza vaccine on overall mortality in patients undergoing curative surgery for solid #tumors
Association Between #Atopic Eczema and #Cancer in England and Denmark
Associations between atopic eczema and cancer are unclear, with competing theories that increased immune surveillance decreases cancer risk and that immune stimulation increases cancer risk. Establishing baseline cancer risk in people with atopic eczema is important before exploring the association between new biologic drugs for atopic eczema and cancer risk.. ..In England, matched cohorts included… Continue reading Association Between #Atopic Eczema and #Cancer in England and Denmark
Association of the Implant Surface Texture Used in Reconstruction With #Breast Cancer Recurrence
The potential association between breast implant–related anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and implant texture has raised concerns about the additional unexpected adverse effects of textured implants, including potentially adverse outcomes for other cancers. In addition to the risk of developing BIA-ALCL, breast cancer survivors may worry about whether the type of implant inserted is associated… Continue reading Association of the Implant Surface Texture Used in Reconstruction With #Breast Cancer Recurrence
Association Between Time to Colonoscopy after Positive Fecal Testing and Colorectal Cancer Outcomes: a Systematic Review
Colonoscopy is required following a positive fecal screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC). It remains unclear to what extent time to colonoscopy is associated with CRC-related outcomes. We performed a systematic review to elucidate this relationship.. ..From 1,612 initial studies, 8 were included in the systematic review, with 5 reporting outcomes for FIT. Although meta-analysis… Continue reading Association Between Time to Colonoscopy after Positive Fecal Testing and Colorectal Cancer Outcomes: a Systematic Review
#HPV Vaccination and the Risk of Invasive #Cervical Cancer
The efficacy and effectiveness of the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in preventing high-grade cervical lesions have been shown. However, data to inform the relationship between quadrivalent HPV vaccination and the subsequent risk of invasive cervical cancer are lacking.. ..During the study period, we evaluated girls and women for cervical cancer until their 31st birthday.… Continue reading #HPV Vaccination and the Risk of Invasive #Cervical Cancer
#ASPIRIN AND THE RISK OF NON‐DIGESTIVE TRACT CANCERS: AN UPDATED META‐ANALYSIS TO 2019
Aspirin has been associated to a reduced risk of colorectal and other selected digestive tract cancers, but the evidence other neoplasms is still controversial. In order to provide an up‐to‐date quantification of the role of aspirin on lung, breast, endometrium, ovary, prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer, we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of all… Continue reading #ASPIRIN AND THE RISK OF NON‐DIGESTIVE TRACT CANCERS: AN UPDATED META‐ANALYSIS TO 2019
