“The study also found that women who increased their strength by 10% or more reduced CRP by 31% compared with women who improved less. Increases in serum CRP levels in breast cancer survivors have been associated with poorer outcomes. For example, a one-unit increase in CRP levels is linked to a 21% increase all-cause mortality and an 18% increase in breast cancer-specific mortality.”

“Role of T cells in cancer, autoimmunity, and fighting infection The thymus is a lymphoid organ located behind the sternum and near the heart. Its primary purpose is to produce mature T cells, a type of white blood cell involved in allergies, autoimmunity, and immunity against pathogens.”

“If replicated, a low-cost berberine regimen combined with quality colonoscopy surveillance could become a practical strategy to reduce long-term colorectal cancer risk. You can learn more about berberine in our detailed topic article.”

“Vitamin K is important for the prevention of vascular calcification and atherosclerosis, as well as cancer initiation and progression.”

“And there might be a place for omega-3s in the setting of cachexia – a muscle disuse atrophy syndrome associated with chronic diseases like cancer and emphysema. Dr. McGlory cautions that you can't "out-nutrition" physical inactivity or immobilization, however.”

“Vitamin E and NAC can sequester reactive oxygen species (which activates cancer cell death) and prevents cancer cells from dying. Vitamin C does not act the same way. This is why it is VERY important to understand mechanisms and not make generalizations.”

“The current work builds on a major study conducted six years ago by Harvard and Ohio State universities that found men who ate two or more half-cup servings of broccoli per week had a 44 percent lower incidence of bladder cancer compared to men who ate less than one serving each week."”

“Navitoclax increased clearance of senescent chondrocytes in an in vitro model of osteoarthritis. Piperlongumine induced senescence and clearance of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer cells, reducing their ability to migrate and reproduce.”

“In addition, evidence suggests that metformin may prevent cognitive losses, improve mental health status, and reduce the risk of cancer. However, metformin may inhibit exercise-induced health benefits, especially regarding muscle mitochondrial adaptations and muscle hypertrophy.”

“The immunotherapy cocktail consists of an antibody (PD-1) that prevents melanoma cells from escaping immune surveillance and another antibody (CTLA-4) which enhance the ability of immune cells to kill cancer cells.”
