A study of more than 700 counties across multiple U.S. states found a link between childhood leukemia and levels of decaying radon gas, including those lower than the federal guideline for mitigation.
The early-stage research - which saw 99 % of melanoma cells eradicated in a lab - could provide new cancer treatment options, experts say.
The number of new cancer cases will rise to more than 35 million in 2050 – 77 percent higher than the figure in 2022, the World Health Organization reported recently.
Scientists in the US have found a way to destroy cancer cells by stimulating molecules with near-infrared light and causing them to vibrate. The researchers found that the method was 99 % effective against melanoma cells.
Scientists have successfully induced rhabdomyosarcoma cells to transform into normal, healthy muscle cells. It's a breakthrough that could lead to similar breakthroughs for other types of human cancers.
Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods may be linked to an increased risk of developing and dying from cancer, an observational study suggests.
Early onset cancers defined as cancers discovered in adults younger than 50 years old, have "dramatically increased" around the world over the last few decades.
