A common stomach infection may be linked to bowel cancer – here’s what we know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A bacterium that can live quietly in the stomach for decades may have an unexpected connection with bowel cancer. A new study estimates that exposure to Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) could be associated with more than one in five cases of bowel cancer worldwide. That is a striking figure, particularly because H pylori is extremely common. But it comes with an important qualification: the study doesn’t prove H pylori causes bowel cancer. Instead, it estimates how much bowel cancer might be linke
Cabin crew at greater risk of radiation-based cancer than nuclear technologists, new study suggests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What jobs are most associated with deaths from radiation-related cancer? Surprisingly, the answer is cabin crew and pilots – ahead of nuclear technologists, whose work involves handling radioactive materials used in medical imaging and treatment. That’s the finding of a new study that analysed more than 12.7 million death records from 2020 to 2024, covering more than 500 occupations. The researchers ranked the occupations by the proportion of deaths in which a radiation-related cancer was listed
Jeremy Clarkson says men have lost the right to prostate cancer testing – the truth is a bit more nuanced than that (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People are up in arms about changes to the prostate cancer screening guidelines in the UK. TV personality Jeremy Clarkson wrote on X: “Until last week, men over 50 were entitled to a free PSA prostate cancer check. But the government has now decided to withdraw that right. I cannot for the life of me work out what their reasoning might be.” Former prime minister David Cameron, who credits the test with catching his own cancer, called the changes “yet another step backwards”. The fear is easy to
Smouldering myeloma: Lauren Laverne’s diagnosis explained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the BBC presenter Lauren Laverne revealed she has smouldering myeloma, the diagnosis sounded more alarming than it is. Her situation is more subtle and nuanced than the word “myeloma” suggests. Smouldering myeloma is better thought of as an early warning stage – a sign that some of the cells in her bone marrow are misbehaving – rather than a fully declared blood cancer. She is under specialist care, but she is well and does not need chemotherapy or targeted drugs at this point. Celebrity di
Sitting for long stretches linked to a higher risk of death from cancer – oncologist answers questions about the new study (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time is linked to a higher risk of dying from cancer, while breaking up long sitting spells with light activity appeared to lower that risk, according to new data. But media reports of the study left many questions unanswered. Here’s what you need to know. The main message is simple: it’s not just how long you sit each day, but how you sit that seems to matter. People who stayed seated for long, uninterrupted stretches – 30 minutes or more at a time – had a
