Study illuminates why obesity makes ovarian cancer more deadly

Most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with the most advanced form of the disease. Less than a third of those diagnosed with the disease survive five years later. As the third most common type of gynecological cancer, it led to more than 200,000 reported deaths globally in 2020 alone, according to a recent study.

Study shows how behavioral economics can help cancer patients quit smoking

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that cancer patients who continued to smoke after their diagnosis were significantly more likely to receive treatment for tobacco use when "nudges" to provide tobacco treatment were directed at clinicians through the electronic health record.
