Cancer

Cancer refers to a group of more than a hundred diseases that can originate in many different parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body.

Metabolic Flexibility in Cancer: How Diet and Nutrition Shape Tumor Survival and Resistance

Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, microenvironmental stress, and therapeutic pressure. This article explains how dietary interventions may exploit metabolic flexibility and plasticity to enhance treatment response while accounting for tumor heterogeneity.

Older men’s sexual priorities extend well beyond erectile function

A web-based survey of 6,000 Japanese men aged 50 or older found that sexual arousal was the function they most wanted to preserve, while erection became more highly valued as erectile function worsened. Erection showed the earliest age-related decline pattern, whereas ejaculation was the function most often reported as lost in older age.
