Exercise is generally good for you, but a new high-quality clinical trial finds that it's so good, it can even knock back colon cancer—and, in fact, rival some chemotherapy treatments. The finding comes from a phase 3, randomized clinical trial led by researchers in Canada, who studied nearly 900 people who had undergone surgery and chemotherapy for colon cancer. After those treatments, patients were evenly split into groups that either bulked up their regular exercise routines in a three-year

A balanced diet plays a major role in ensuring that you stay healthy. But did you know that there is evidence to suggest that certain foods may even reduce your risk of developing cancer? That's right. While there's no miracle food out there, studies show that certain ingredients may offer some protective benefits. We asked doctors and experts which foods have been shown to potentially decrease cancer risk. 1. Berries Berries are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids like anthocyanins, which ar

Though the sun can provide the body with benefits, such as vitamin D, it's always important to apply sunscreen to protect your skin. The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the time they reach age 70. It's the most common cancer, both in the US and worldwide. Fortunately, skin cancer cases (like basal and squamous cell cancer) don't spread to other parts of the body and can usually be removed through a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Melanoma,

A common energy drink ingredient could be leading blood cancer cells to grow and multiply, according to a new study by researchers in New York. The study, published in the journal Nature, found that taurine, a naturally occurring amino acid found in drinks like Red Bull and Celsius, may act as a fuel source for leukaemia cells, making the disease more aggressive. Researchers from the University of Rochester warned consumers to be cautious, especially as taurine is commonly used in energy drink

Unfortunately, systematic barriers or a lack of comfort with the procedure means many people aren’t receiving it.

A longstanding scientific belief about a link between cancer prevalence and animal body size has tested for the first time in our new study ranging across hundreds of animal species. If larger animals have more cells, and cancer comes from cells going rogue, then the largest animals on Earth—like elephants and whales—should be riddled with tumours. Yet, for decades, there has been little evidence to support this idea. Many species seem to defy this expectation entirely. For example, budgies ar
