Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

7.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

522
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.2K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

9.0K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer

51.9K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II01:28

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II

902
The Bradford Hill criteria serve as guidelines for establishing causative links in epidemiological research. Beyond Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality, key criteria also include Biological Gradient, Plausibility, Coherence, Experiment, and Analogy. These principles assist scientists in assessing the likelihood of causation in complex biological contexts. Below is a summary of these concepts:

Summary

Urban green spaces may influence cancer outcomes, with bladder, breast, and lung cancers most studied. More research is needed to confirm these links and understand mediating factors.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Urban green spaces (UGSs) are increasingly recognized for their potential health benefits.
  • The relationship between UGSs and cancer (onset, remission, recovery) requires further exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review exploring the associations between UGSs and cancer-related outcomes.
  • To identify mediating factors and knowledge gaps in this research area.

Main Methods:

  • Followed PRISMA extension for scoping reviews, including published and grey literature.
  • Screened 1703 records, with 29 studies included for qualitative synthesis.
  • Included various study designs (RCTs, cohort, observational) in English or French.

Main Results:

  • The most frequently studied cancers were bladder, breast, and lung cancer.
  • Identified a variety of potential mediating factors influencing the UGS-cancer relationship.
  • Evidence strength is currently weak due to limited study numbers and designs.

Conclusions:

  • UGSs show potential associations with cancer occurrence, remission, and prevention.
  • Further qualitative research is recommended, focusing on protective factors and equitable access to UGSs.
