Sitting less, being more active can add years of life to postmenopausal cancer survivors

New research suggests that increasing daily step count and engaging in physical activity while reducing sitting time may reduce the risk of death from all cause and from cardiovascular disease (CVD) among postmenopausal women with a history of cancer.

Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy beneficial in locally advanced ESCC

In the treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy may prolong overall and disease-free survival compared with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, according to a study from China.

Study: Replace butter with plant-based oils for longevity

Using plant-based oils such as olive, soybean, or canola instead of butter may help prevent premature deaths, as reported in a large study.

Alternating R-DA-EDOCH/R-DHAP induces deep remission in young Chinese patients with MCL

A phase III trial demonstrated a high minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity rate with intensive continuous dose-adjusted rituximab plus etoposide, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine (R-DA-EDOCH) alternated with rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin (R-DHAP), thereby offering an alternative induction therapy choice for young Chinese patients with mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL).
