Owing to high reproducibility in particular, NMR could greatly facilitate the identification of biomarkers for cancer detection and prognosis. In this study, using a cohort from the UK Biobank, the authors explored associations between NMR metabolites and risk of 20 common cancers. Each of the 20 ...
A small white pill called Tarceva targets a molecule which plays a key role in the growth and extended life span of cancer cells. Lung cancer is one of the most difficult forms of cancer to treat, and about 85 per cent of cases are non-small cell lung cancers. Trials have shown Tar...
We measured metabolomic biomarkers via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in blood samples provided at the time of enrollment from 700,217 participants in the UK Biobank, Estonian Biobank (EBB), or Finnish THL Biobank, all with linked comprehensive clinical data (Table 1, Supplementary Data 1)...
The importance of inherited predisposition is now established for a number of common cancers and the mechanisms by which mutations in some genes leads to cancer are at least partially understood. The ability to identify susceptibles among cancer patients

We estimated their added value in clinical risk prediction of five common diseases, using large-scale biobank data (FinnGen; n = 135,300) and the FINRISK study with clinical risk factors to test genome-wide PRSs for coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, atrial fibrillation, breast ...
Bowel cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in either the large bowel (colon or intestines) or the back passage (rectum), which make up the lower digestive tract. The cancer usually forms through bumps, also known as polyps, on the bowel walls. Like other cancers, if left untreated ...
Risks: Potential risks include an increased chance of blood clots, stroke, and certain cancers. Discussing these risks with a healthcare professional before starting HRT may be helpful.

An increased incidence of gastrointestinal and certain extraintestinal cancers have been reported in patients with Crohn's disease. Breast and colon cancer have been reported in medical literature in Crohn's disease patient treated with high doses of this drug for a prolonged duration; causality was...
This has inspired similar initiatives worldwide, even in middle-income countries like Thailand3. Many are focusing on rare diseases, or to a lesser extent cancers. Others are studying the general population and/or building infrastructure (see Table 1). This reflects a longstanding categorization of...
