Prevention of cancer involves a mix of lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep, stress management, and above all, diet. According to Dr. Tarang Krishna, a cancer expert, what we eat can influence our body’s response to cellular injury and inflammation. One food item cannot do the job, but there are some plant foods that have high…
The findings of this study require confirmation from a prospective and randomized clinical trial; however, the discovery is still crucial. “Although not yet proven to be causal, this is the type of treatment benefit that we strive for and hope to see with therapeutic interventions — but rarely do. I think the urgency and importance…
In what could be a breakthrough treatment, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a groundbreaking “super vaccine” that could one day help the immune system prevent cancer before it even begins. This experimental vaccine uses nanoparticles to deliver tumor-specific signals, that train the body to recognise and destroy cancer cells early –…
Pancreatic Cancer is known as a ‘silent killer’, because it is one of the toughest cancers to treat, because its symptoms are hardly felt in the initial stages, until the disease reaches an advance stage. Not only that, early symptoms often mimic general health issues, which makes many brush them away as ‘regular lifestyle-diet issues’….

The PSA test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, which can be a sign of prostate cancer.The main reason for this…
When it comes to chronic diseases, especially cancer prevention, conversations often center around smoking, autoimmune factors, genetics and environmental shifts, but a growing body of evidence suggests that there is yet another silent contributor to this whole fiasco: Poor diet. According to the estimates from Global Burden of Disease Study (GDB), up to one in…
While genetic predisposition and environmental exposure still remain important, awareness has grown that there are modifiable lifestyle factors also with a causative role in thyroid carcinogenesis. Prevention is therefore not only possible but essential.Several epidemiological investigations have established obesity as a standalone risk factor for differentiated thyroid cancer. Mechanisms postulated include chronic low-grade inflammation, hyperinsulinemia,…
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common bacterium residing in the stomach lining, has been linked to a significant proportion of stomach cancer cases worldwide. A study published in Nature Medicine estimates that nearly 76% of gastric cancers may be attributable to H. pylori, with around 12 million cases expected among those born between 2008 and…
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer globally, largely because its early symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked. Timely detection is often difficult, making awareness of even minor warning signs essential. One such indicator is finger clubbing, a noticeable change in the shape and curvature of the fingernails. This condition can…
Peanuts, or moongfali, are more than just a budget-friendly snack; they’re a powerhouse of nutrients that can support your overall health. Rich in plant-based protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, peanuts offer a range of science-backed benefits. Research suggests that regular consumption may help reduce the risk of breast cancer, protect the heart, stabilise…
