“However, findings from a new study suggest that some survivors of childhood cancer are genetically susceptible to experiencing accelerated epigenetic aging. Epigenetic age acceleration is a phenomenon that occurs when a person's epigenetic age exceeds their chronological age.”

“The rise of early-onset cancer has become one of the most puzzling trends in modern oncology. A new study investigated whether changes in biological aging may help explain why some cancers are appearing more frequently in younger adults.”

“The study was done in cells and animals, so it does not prove the same effect happens in humans. Still, it offers a biological explanation for how frequent intake of sugar-sweetened beverages could worsen colorectal cancer.”

“However, the number of colorectal cancer cases in young adults – those between the ages of 20 and 49 years – is increasing. Findings from a recent study suggest that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increases the risk of early-onset colorectal cancer among young women.”

“Breast tumors contain a large number of white blood cells and adipocytes (i.e., fat cells); however, the role of adipocytes in metastatic breast cancer is unknown. Findings of a new report show that adipocytes shed molecular droplets called exosomes that relay cancer-promoting signals.”

“The women also had a 35% reduced risk of breast cancer recurrence. Cruciferous vegetables include kale, broccoli (and broccoli sprouts), cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, bok choy, and mustard greens.”

“Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer, the second most common form of cancer and a leading cause of death worldwide. A 2017 study found that heavy smokers' lung cancer risk drops by nearly 40 percent just five years after quitting smoking, The study involved more than 8,900 people enrolled in two large cohort studies.”

“They calibrate as much as 30 percent of mammalian protein-encoding genes. MicroRNA expression is typically dysregulated in the setting of cancer. However, evidence from an in vitro study suggests that butyrate modulates microRNA expression in colorectal cancer cells.”

“Their own T cells were used for the strategic addition of a specialized receptor specific to a marker expressed by the cancer cells (CD19).”

“Findings from a 2015 study demonstrated that sulforaphane reduces biochemical recurrence in men who have had prostate cancer. Biochemical recurrence is a phenomenon in which serum levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels increase.”
