New Studies Link Pesticide Exposure to Breast Cancer

a month ago -

A study published in June 2026 found higher breast cancer rates in rural U.S. counties with elevated pesticide use, after accounting for factors such as smoking and poverty [1]. Other research has identified herbicides atrazine and glyphosate as substances that may promote breast cancer cell proliferation and spread [2][3]. These findings indicate that multiple chemical classes contribute to the disease, researchers said.Pesticide-Breast Cancer Links ...

Lawmakers to Monsanto: Hiding cancer risks won’t be protected by law

19 days ago -

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced legislation July 21 to require pesticide manufacturers to disclose cancer risks on product labels, directly challenging a Supreme Court decision in June that shielded companies like Bayer's Monsanto from lawsuits alleging they failed to warn consumers about potential harm. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) led the effort alongside Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Chellie Pingree (D-ME), and Thomas Massie (R-KY) ...

Study: Gut Bacterium May Help Immune System Fight Skin Cancer

a month ago -

The findings are based on laboratory cell cultures and experiments in mice with melanoma tumors. The study adds to a growing body of evidence linking the gut microbiome to immune function, according to the researchers. They stated that the bacterium's anti-tumor effect depends on the activation of CD8+ T cells, which are immune cells that attack cancer cells.Study Details

Researchers conducted experiments using lab cell cultures and mouse models. In the mouse experiments, ...

UCLA Study Finds Creatine May Enhance Immune Response Against Cancer

a month ago -

The findings, based on experiments in mice and human cells, indicate that creatine boosts energy levels in dendritic cells, enabling them to better activate killer T cells against tumors, the researchers reported. The study, led by Lili Yang, a professor at UCLA and member of the Broad Stem Cell Research Center, builds on previous work showing creatine also energizes T cells.

Yang said in a statement that "creatine doesn't just help the T cells fighting cancer. It ...

EPA faces pressure to warn public on cancer-linked pesticides

a month ago -

The Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency petition July 8, 2026, urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to require cancer warnings on all pesticide labels for ingredients the agency itself has linked to the disease. The petition follows a Supreme Court ruling that limited Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms such as cancer. Environmental groups say the EPA has failed for decades to disclose known risks, ...

Study: Arginine Supplement May Strengthen Immune Response to Cancer and Viral Infections

7 days ago -

"Our work reveals how a lack of arginine interferes with the immune system, and suggests that upping arginine intake could prove beneficial," first author Qiushuang Wu, a postdoc in the lab, said in a statement.

In mouse models, arginine-rich diets were associated with fewer colon tumors and milder influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the researchers reported. The findings add to prior work linking declining immune function to cancer progression. T cells are responsible ...

Tomatoes’ secret weapon: Lycopene linked to lower cancer risk in major review

19 days ago -

A sweeping analysis of 121 studies tracking nearly 2.7 million participants has found that lycopene, the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color, may offer modest but meaningful protection against cancer and cancer-related death.

Published in Frontiers in Nutrition, the systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis combined 121 prospective studies from four scientific databases, making it one of the largest investigations into ...

Creatine Supplement May Strengthen Immune System Against Cancer, UCLA Study Finds

a month ago - cancer response, the researchers said. [1]Animal Experiments Show Slower Tumor Growth

In mouse models of melanoma, daily creatine injections significantly slowed tumor growth while increasing both the number and activity of dendritic cells that had entered the tumors, according to the study. The treated dendritic cells released higher levels of chemical signals that attracted additional immune cells into the tumor environment, the researchers reported. [1]

Strength training rebuilds natural cancer defenses in aging muscle, study finds

2 months ago -

The notion that muscle exists merely to push, pull, and hold the skeleton upright has taken a serious hit. A team of scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore has uncovered a hidden biological conversation happening inside the human body — and it's one that suggests your muscles may act as a frontline defense against cancer. And when that defense weakens with age, something as simple as regular movement might rebuild it.
