Moderate wine consumption may reduce the risk of some cancers

A meta-analysis published in Frontiers in Nutrition finds no link between moderate wine consumption and increased cancer risk; instead, it suggests that wine may have protective effects against certain types of tumors. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and understand the mechanisms involved.

Tumor debulking does not impact quality of life in metastatic colorectal cancer, study finds

New research in the October 2023 issue of JNCCN-;Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network finds that intensive local-regional treatment to remove as much tumor as possible (known as "debulking"), in addition to standard systemic therapy, does not impact overall quality of life significantly for people with metastatic colorectal cancer.
