..The mean (SD) follow-up was 6.2 (2.1) years for patients who underwent adjustable gastric banding, 5.5 (2.1) years for patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 5.7 (2.2) years for patients who underwent gastric bypass. In total, 13 052 incident colorectal cancers (1.2%) and 63 649 colorectal benign polyps were diagnosed. The rate of colorectal cancer was 0.6%… Continue reading #Colorectal Cancer Risk Following #Bariatric Surgery in a Nationwide Study of French Individuals With Obesity

Similar #Breast Cancer Risk in Women Older Than 65 Years Initiating Glargine, Detemir, and NPH Insulins
To assess whether initiation of insulin glargine (glargine), compared with initiation of neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) or insulin detemir (detemir), was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in women with diabetes.. Ever use of glargine was not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer compared with NPH (HR 0.97; 95% CI 0.88–1.06)… Continue reading Similar #Breast Cancer Risk in Women Older Than 65 Years Initiating Glargine, Detemir, and NPH Insulins
Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk of Cancer in Patients With #Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
..There was an increased risk of several cancers, including keratinocyte cancer (RR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.73-3.01), lymphomas (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.37-1.78), lung cancer (RR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.13-1.40), and bladder cancer (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19). No increased risk of cancer for patients with psoriasis treated with biologic agents was found (RR, 0.97; 95%… Continue reading Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk of Cancer in Patients With #Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
#Nut Consumption and Risk of #Cancer: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies
..When comparing the highest with the lowest category of nut intake, high consumption of nuts was significantly associated with decreased risk of overall cancer (RR = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.85–0.95). The protective effect of nut consumption was especially apparent against cancers from the digestive system (RR = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.77–0.89). Among different nut classes,… Continue reading #Nut Consumption and Risk of #Cancer: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies
#Curcumin and #Cancer
Curcumin, a polyphenol extracted from Curcuma longa in 1815, has gained attention from scientists worldwide for its biological activities (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral), among which its anticancer potential has been the most described and still remains under investigation. The present review focuses on the cell signaling pathways involved in cancer development and proliferation, and… Continue reading #Curcumin and #Cancer
Electronic-#cigarette smoke induces #lung adenocarcinoma and #bladder urothelial hyperplasia in mice
Electronic-cigarettes (E-cigs) are marketed as a safe alternative to tobacco to deliver the stimulant nicotine, and their use is gaining in popularity, particularly among the younger population. We recently showed that mice exposed to short-term (12 wk) E-cig smoke (ECS) sustained extensive DNA damage in lungs, heart, and bladder mucosa and diminished DNA repair in… Continue reading Electronic-#cigarette smoke induces #lung adenocarcinoma and #bladder urothelial hyperplasia in mice
Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study
Emerging evidence on body composition suggests that sarcopenic obesity (obesity with depleted muscle mass) might be predictive of morbidity and mortality in non-malignant disease and also of toxicity to chemotherapy.. ..Available lumbar CT images of the obese patients were analysed for total skeletal muscle cross-sectional area; these values were also used to estimate total body… Continue reading Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study
Healthy #lifestyle and life #expectancy free of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort study
..Five low risk lifestyle factors: never smoking, body mass index 18.5-24.9, moderate to vigorous physical activity (≥30 minutes/day), moderate alcohol intake (women: 5-15 g/day; men 5-30 g/day), and a higher diet quality score (upper 40%). .. The life expectancy free of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer at age 50 was 23.7 years (95% confidence interval… Continue reading Healthy #lifestyle and life #expectancy free of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort study
Amount and Intensity of Leisure-Time #Physical Activity and Lower #Cancer Risk
To determine whether recommended amounts of leisure-time physical activity (ie, 7.5-15 metabolic equivalent task [MET] hours/week) are associated with lower cancer risk.. ..Engagement in recommended amounts of activity (7.5-15 MET hours/week) was associated with a statistically significant lower risk of 7 of the 15 cancer types studied, including colon (8%-14% lower risk in men), breast… Continue reading Amount and Intensity of Leisure-Time #Physical Activity and Lower #Cancer Risk
