IOWA CANCER REPORT FINDS FARMERS HAD FEWER CARCERS COMPARED WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION

IOWA CANCER REPORT FINDS FARMERS HAD FEWER CARCERS COMPARED WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION The study found that overall, farmers were less likely to be diagnosed with most cancers. However, farmers had higher-than-expected rates of prostate and lip cancer. The study suggests that high exposure to some insecticides may increase the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. […]

Chewing Gum Reduces HPV and Oral Cancer–Associated Bacteria in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  Emerging data published in Scientific Reports, demonstrates extracts from a bioengineered chewing gum to significantly reduce the levels of 3 microbes associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The medicated chewing gum displayed substantial reductions in oral human papillomavirus (HPV), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P gingivalis), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fnucleatum). The research evaluated a […]

Global study links alcohol to rising cases of lip and oral cavity cancer

Heavy alcohol consumption has sharply increased the global burden of lip and oral cavity cancers over the past three decades, with the steepest rise seen in Southeast Asia and in lower-middle SDI regions (the SDI reflects the average education level of a country’s population) according to a new analysis based on Global Burden of Disease […]
