Breakthrough in vitamin D research could open doors to cancer and autoimmune therapies
Scientists involved in the research said more studies are needed to fully understand how SDR42E1 affects vitamin D levels in the long run. They stressed that while the results are promising, further investigation is required before this gene can be used in clinical treatment.
WHO study links higher BMI to increased breast cancer risk in older women
Higher body mass index is already known to be a risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This new study offers more detail on how the risk varies depending on whether the woman also develops cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes.
Gene change weakens human immunity against solid tumours, study finds
The good news is that scientists found ways to protect Fas Ligand from plasmin. By blocking plasmin or making Fas Ligand stronger, the immune system can once again kill cancer cells. This opens up new ideas for improving cancer treatments by combining them with plasmin-blocking drugs or special antibodies.
HPV behind growing cancer cases in young Indians, experts call for vaccination drive
Unlike other cancers that develop over decades, HPV-related cancers in young people often progress rapidly and silently.

Researchers unveil method that forces cancer cells to reveal themselves
The researchers believe this new method can make immunotherapy treatments available to more cancer patients.
WHO warns breast cancer cases projected to rise by nearly 40 percent by 2050

Breast cancer rising in young women; ICMR reports alarming statistics
The early onset of breast cancer is majorly due to genes, lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition, consumption of highly ultra-processed foods and a completely sedentary lifestyle coupled with environment pollutants.
