Hispanic and American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer have been undercaptured in the National Cancer Database (NCDB), but their representation is improving, according to a study published online Dec. 27 in JAMA Network Open.Yasoda Satpathy, from the University o

The NPR article reports elevated levels of the carcinogen chromium-6 in wildfire ash, potentially posing health risks like lung cancer due to inhalation. Researchers call for further investigation and protective measures in affected areas.

A study by the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research links tobacco smoking to DNA mutations that disrupt cancer-fighting proteins, increasing cancer risk and complicating treatment. The more one smokes, the more mutations occur, particularly in lung cancer, highlighting smoking's severe impact on cellular health and cancer development.

The American Cancer Society has updated its lung cancer screening guidelines to include adults aged 50-80 with a significant smoking history, regardless of how long ago they quit. This expansion could prevent 21% more lung cancer deaths and is aimed at improving early detection, especially in high-risk communities.
