Better lifestyle choices may prevent cancer in adults with prediabetes, T2D

15 Sep 2025

Alignment with the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) Cancer Prevention Recommendations, which involve modifying certain lifestyle factors, appears to reduce the risk of cancer development in adults with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2D), reports a recent study.

Lifestyle mediates link between deprivation, premature death in patients with T2D

15 Sep 2025

Unhealthy lifestyles facilitate the association seen between socioeconomic deprivation and premature mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and result in a disproportionate risk of premature death in more deprived individuals, a study has found.

PORTEC-3: Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy improves 10-year OS in high-risk endometrial cancer

15 Sep 2025 by

Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improves both 10-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in women with high-risk endometrial cancer vs pelvic radiotherapy alone, with the most clinically relevant benefit observed in p53 abnormal cancers, according to the 10-year analysis of the phase III PORTEC-3 trial.
