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.

Broad genomic sequencing extends survival in advanced lung cancer patients

New research in the November 2026 issue of JNCCN-Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network found that patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lived longer when they received broad-based genomic sequencing (BGS)-testing a large panel of dozens or hundreds of genes at once-before starting treatment, compared with patients who received more limited biomarker testing of just one or two genes.

A 43-gram sugar gap separates adults who check food labels from those who rarely do

A nationally representative US study of 9,416 children and adults found that frequent nutrition label users consumed an average of 42.8 g less added sugar daily among adults and 14.5 g less among children compared with infrequent users. The findings suggest an association between checking nutrition labels and lower added sugar intake, although the observational study could not establish causation.

A study of 844,000 adults reveals what BMI misses about obesity

A multinational study of 844,108 adults found that combining BMI with waist measurements improved obesity classification and identified mortality risks that BMI alone could miss. Clinical obesity was associated with a 69% higher all-cause mortality hazard, compared with 19% for preclinical obesity, while most participants with preclinical obesity were not estimated to progress to clinical obesity during long-term follow-up.
