Colon Cancer Smackdown: Spirits vs. Wine
What's better for you with regard to colon cancer risk: drinking wine or drinking distilled spirits like gin, vodka, and bourbon?
Alcohol Found to Increase Rectal Cancer Risk
Sometimes it seems scientists are trying to suck all the fun out of life. A study published in the journal Gut found that drinking beer and spirits can increase the risk of rectal cancer if you drink enough. How much is that exactly?
More Evidence that Alcohol Increases Colorectal Cancer Risk
Researchers analyzed information from almost half a million study participants and found that a person's risk of developing colorectal cancer increased when alcohol consumption increased.
Study Assesses Link Between Asbestos and Colorectal Cancer
While some studies have established a clear link between asbestos exposure and colorectal cancer, others have found no relationship between the two whatsoever. To address this issue, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies assessed more than 120 studies in an effort to determine once and for all, if asbestos causes cancer of the throat and digestive system.
Acupuncture, Naturopathy, and Massage Therapy: Are They for You?
A study published in the journal Cancer indicated growing use and acceptance of acupuncture, naturopathy, and massage therapy in addition to conventional cancer treatment.
FDA Approval of Avastin as a Second-Line Treatment for Colon Cancer
In June of 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Avastin as a second-line treatment for colon cancer. A second-line treatment is basically like a do-over.
Study Explains Why Exercising Aids in Colon Cancer Survival
A study published in the journal Gut explains why exercising can increase a person's chances of surviving colon cancer. The gist is that physical activity decreases insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and increases insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-3).
