A single bout of either resistance or high intensity interval training could help in the cancer battle, new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found.

Women who are overdue for cervical cancer screening are most likely to participate in screening when a self-sampling kit is offered by a healthcare professional as part of routine GP appointments, according to a new study led by Queen Mary University of London with King’s College London. Over half of the people offered an at-home test during an unrelated GP appointment returned the sample. If this approach were adopted across the NHS, it is estimated that as many as 1,000 women would be prevented from developing cervical cancer every year. 

The majority of liver cancer cases could be prevented by reducing levels of viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption and MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease – previously called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), suggests an analysis as part of The Lancet Commission on liver cancer. The Commission highlights several ways to reduce these risks factors, including increasing the coverage of the hepatitis B vaccine and public health policies targeting obesity and alcohol consumption. 

This study examines if gaining housing increased rates of colorectal and breast cancer screening in a cohort of veterans who experience homelessness. 

Melanoma testing could one day be done at home with a skin patch and test strip with two lines, similar to COVID-19 home tests, according to University of Michigan researchers. 

A groundbreaking review by researchers at Central South University highlights six critical signaling pathways—CCNE1/CDK2, MYC/CDK9, CDK4/CDK6/FOXM1, PTEN/PI3K/AKT/mTOR, AURKB, and VEGFA/VEGFR—as promising targets for osteosarcoma (OS) treatment. The study underscores the potential of network-based drug discovery to combat this aggressive bone cancer.
