Comparing PFAS exposures in female firefighters and office workers
Firefighters have higher rates of some cancers than the general population, which might not be surprising given the many potential carcinogens they encounter while battling blazes. However, previous studies of chemical exposures in this occupation have focused almost exclusively on…

Antioxidant reverses BPD-induced fertility damage in worms
From plastics to pesticides, it seems like every week delivers fresh news about the dangers of endocrine disruptors–chemicals in the environment that alter the body’s hormones and can lead to reproductive, developmental, neurologic and immune problems and cancer. Industry regulation…
Nimotuzumab-cisplatin-radiation versus cisplatin-radiation in HPV negative oropharyngeal cancer
Oncotarget Volume 11, Issue 4: In this study, locally advanced head and neck cancer patients undergoing definitive chemoradiation were randomly allocated to weekly cisplatin — radiation {CRT arm} or nimotuzumab -weekly cisplatin -radiation {NCRT arm}

What is your risk from smoking? Your network knows!
Even if disseminated health information is accurate, people may misunderstand or misinterpret it on their own — but social networks may be able to help eliminate this problem by harnessing the power of collective intelligence

New method for monitoring residual disease after treatment in children with neuroblastoma
A research group led by Professor NISHIMURA Noriyuki (Graduate School of Health Sciences, Kobe University) has developed a new method to monitor the residual disease after treatment in high-risk neuroblastoma patients. The method could be utilized to evaluate treatment response…
Never too late to quit — protective cells could cut risk of lung cancer for ex-smokers
Protective cells in the lungs of ex-smokers could explain why quitting smoking reduces the risk of developing lung cancer, Cancer Research UK-funded researchers have determined. Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and UCL have discovered that compared to current smokers,…

Local activism can’t be crushed, research finds. At most, it changes target
New research by Fabrizio Perretti and Alessandro Piazza in the Strategic Management Journal finds that when community activists reach their goals, they galvanize; when they fail, mobilization does not fade away, but spills over to other industries

Exposure to chemicals in drinking water associated with 5% of annual bladder cancer burden in Europe
Each year, more than 6,500 cases of bladder cancer–nearly 5% of all cases in Europe– can be attributed to exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water. This is one of the conclusions of a large-scale study led by the Barcelona…
