Cancer Prevention

6.5K
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.

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.0K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ginseng is widely consumed for potential cancer-protective properties.
  • The link between ginseng tea and liver cancer (LC) risk is not well-established, particularly in individuals with liver disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between ginseng tea consumption and liver cancer risk.
  • To examine if this association differs based on pre-existing liver disease status.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study (Korean Multi-Center Cancer Cohort) with 5,926 participants.
  • Assessed ginseng tea intake via questionnaire and tracked incident LC over 14 years.
  • Used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and stratified analyses by liver disease status.

Main Results:

  • Frequent ginseng tea intake (≥ 2 cups/week) was linked to increased LC risk (adjusted HR = 2.15).
  • Daily consumers had the highest risk (HR = 3.35).
  • The association was significantly stronger in participants with pre-existing liver disease (HR = 3.57).

Conclusions:

  • Frequent ginseng tea consumption is associated with a potentially elevated risk of liver cancer.
  • Individuals with underlying liver disease may be particularly vulnerable to this increased risk.
