 Large US study finds never-married adults face higher risk for most major cancersLarge US study finds never-married adults face higher risk for most major cancers
 
A large US population-based study found that never-married adults had higher cancer incidence than ever-married adults across most cancer types, with the largest disparities seen in older adults and in Black men. The pattern was especially strong for HPV-related, tobacco-related, and several reproductive cancers, suggesting marital status may act as an important social marker of cancer risk.
 
 
 Why early-onset cancers are rising and how researchers plan to stop themWhy early-onset cancers are rising and how researchers plan to stop them
 
Early-onset cancers are rising worldwide, and this Cell Perspective argues that cancer prevention must move beyond static risk-factor snapshots toward life-course exposure mapping, tissue-level biology, and dynamic estimates of preventability. The authors propose three linked frameworks to speed discovery of cancer causes and translate those findings into more precise prevention and interception strategies.
 
   Talc not contaminated with asbestos shows no link to cancerTalc not contaminated with asbestos shows no link to cancer
 
In a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers found that occupational exposure to talc that is not contaminated with asbestos is not associated with an increase in the risk of lung cancer, mesothelioma, or laryngeal cancer.
 
   Sponge and sea slug partnership yields a new anticancer molecule with drug design promiseSponge and sea slug partnership yields a new anticancer molecule with drug design promise
 
Researchers identified jorumycidine, a new hexacyclic marine alkaloid from the nudibranch Jorunna funebris and its dietary sponge, Haliclona sp., and demonstrated that it exhibits potent nanomolar cytotoxicity against multiple myeloma cells. They also proposed a new biosynthetic route involving cross-species metabolic interplay and an unusual oxazolidine ring that may help stabilize a pharmacologically important scaffold.

OICR funds four Ontario teams to develop next-generation cancer therapiesBetter cancer care depends on better treatment options. That's why the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) is supporting four Ontario-based research teams working to develop the next generation of cancer therapies that are designed to be more effective at destroying tumors, have reduced side effects, and make cancer less likely to return.

 New ruthenium-based active agent enables cancer treatment in oxygen-depleted tumors
 
Most tumors grow so rapidly that vascular growth cannot keep up, and oxygen-depleted areas form within them. A new active agent could make it possible to treat them with photodynamic therapy.
 
 
 New project aims to improve aggressive breast cancer diagnosis
 
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, around 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer, and the disease caused about 670,000 deaths worldwide.
