The initiative that began in 1995 is now entering its thirtieth year. It started as a simple push to make people think about oral health and the risks that can lead to cancer. Over the years, it has grown into a national conversation that reaches schools, workplaces and health clinics. In t
Colon polyps are small growths that can turn into cancer if ignored. Not all places have the same rates of these growths. In Qinghai Province, China, the numbers might be different because of where it’s located and who lives there. This province sits high on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the air
Black women in the U. S. face higher death rates from breast cancer and also have common high blood pressure. A study followed 2, 474 Black women who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer to see how their blood pressure status and use of heart‑pressure drugs affected survival. Every two year
Research shows that people with diabetes face a higher chance of developing certain cancers. The strongest links are found with breast, colon, uterus, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder cancers. But figuring out if diabetes actually causes cancer or if other factors play a bigger role isn’t simple. Li
Dean never expected to find a life-threatening tumor during a nap. The former biotech worker woke up in pain and discovered three fast-growing cancers in her breasts. Standard treatment suggested chemotherapy, but a nonprofit oncology service stepped in and changed her path. After reviewing her reco
Scientists recently tested a new pill for pancreatic cancer and the results were better than expected. In the trial, patients who took the drug lived nearly twice as long compared to those who didn’t. Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest cancers to treat, so this discovery could be a big step fo
Treating a fast-growing cancer like advanced endometrial cancer used to rely only on looking at tumor cells under a microscope. Now, doctors use genetic testing to guide treatment instead. The biggest shift has come from drugs that help the immune system fight cancer. For some patients, these treatm
The idea of a group of specialists reviewing cancer data is not new, but how it actually helps patients with ovarian cancer has been unclear. In a recent study, researchers looked at real‑world outcomes for two types of serous ovarian cancer: the aggressive high‑grade form and the slower low‑grade v
Doctors often remove a small cone-shaped piece of the cervix to treat early-stage cancer. But sometimes, tiny bits of tumor remain unseen after this procedure. The new study asked whether ultrasound scans could spot these hidden cancer cells more reliably than before. Researchers reviewed past pati
When doctors attack a tumor with modern medicine, they don’t just fight cancer cells. They also face an entire hidden neighborhood inside each growth. This neighborhood includes not only the cancer itself but also the immune system’s soldiers, the body’s repair workers, and the scaffolding that hold
