Cancer Research
Browsing cancer research is a great way to stay abreast of the latest advances in cancer treatment, survival rates, detection, and prevention. Unfortunately, cancer research findings are often expressed in language that's too technical or worse, sensationalized. If you're looking for straight talk about colorectal cancer research, you've come to the right place.
Flat Spots in the Colon Linked to Cancer
American doctors tend to think that nonpolypoid lesions aren't as dangerous as polyps that spring from the lining of the colon, ripe for picking during a colonoscopy. However, a JAMA study found that while nonpolypoid lesions are less common, they're more dangerous.

Study Uncovers Health Disparities in Cancer Diagnosis
A study published in The Lancet Oncology linked late stage colon cancer diagnosis to insurance status and race. Learn who's most likely to be diagnosed with late stage colon cancer and why.

Large Waist Increases Colon Cancer Risk
A lot of studies have shown a link between obesity and colon cancer. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition points specifically to belly fat as a risk factor.

Study Links Western Diet to Colon Cancer Recurrence
A study found that colon cancer survivors who followed a Western diet were more likely to have a recurrence than survivors who followed a prudent diet. What's the difference between a Western diet and a "prudent diet," and how much impact can it have on colon cancer recurrence?

Lycopene and Tomatoes Don't Decrease Colorectal Cancer Risk
You may have heard that tomatoes (and lycopene in particular) can reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. But, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says otherwise. After reviewing the scientific evidence available regarding the ability of tomatoes and lycopene to reduce the risk of several types of cancer, the FDA determined that they may help guard against some cancers, but not colorectal.
