Researchers question the use of "cancer" for certain prostate conditions

A new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that patients may benefit if doctors stop calling certain early-stage changes to the prostate "cancer" at all.

High levels of microplastics found in prostate tumors, possibly linked to take-out food

Researchers discovered microplastics in both tumor and para-tumor prostate tissues, with higher concentrations found in tumor samples, raising concerns about their potential role in cancer development.

Study shows equal effectiveness of proton beam therapy and IMRT for prostate cancer

People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy -; proton beam therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) -; achieved equally high rates of tumor control with no differences in patient-reported quality of life, according to a first-of-its-kind phase III clinical trial comparing the two technologies. Findings of the PARTIQoL trial will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.

Not all ultra-processed foods are made alike: Researchers warn against villainizing entire food group

Researchers find that ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption may not be directly responsible for poor health outcomes, with lifestyle factors playing a significant role. More experimental research is needed to establish causality.

Glutathione found to significantly reduce acetaldehyde levels and help relieve hangovers

Study demonstrates that glutathione (GSH) significantly reduces acetaldehyde levels, a key factor in hangovers, though subjective symptoms showed little difference between groups. Pharmacokinetic data indicate that GSH accelerates acetaldehyde clearance, providing potential relief from hangover symptoms.
