Regular use of vitamin and mineral supplements could reduce the risk of colon cancer, study suggests
Could the use of vitamin and mineral supplements in a regular diet help to reduce the risk of colon cancer and protect against carcinogens? A study published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology found that rats given regular multivitamin and mineral supplements showed a significantly lower risk of developing colon cancer when they were exposed to carcinogens.

Finding Of Gene Fusion In Ovarian Cancer Could Help Understanding Of How Deadly Tumors Develop And Spread
A study published in the September 20 issue of the online open-access journal PLoS Biology reveals that researchers discovered, during their study of ovarian cancer, that a substantial number of ovarian tumors show a gene that is closely related to the estrogen receptor. The gene is broken and fused to an adjacent gene by a chromosome rearrangement. This finding could help to understand how deadly tumors develop and spread…

Higher estrogen production in the breast could confer greater cancer risk than thought
Could some women who naturally produce excess aromatase in their breasts have an increased risk of developing breast cancer? Investigators say their mice study shows that overproduction of aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen, in breast tissue is even more important in pushing breast cancer development than excess production of the estrogen receptor that the hormone uses to activate mammary cells.
