The document summarizes research on factors influencing cancer risk across the lifespan, from fetal development through adulthood. It discusses how characteristics like birth weight, adult height and weight, and physical activity levels impact cancer risk. Early life nutrition is particularly important, as it can program metabolic and hormonal regulation in ways that affect cancer vulnerability later in life. Maintaining the right balance of nutrients, including amino acids like glycine, appears key to supporting health and minimizing cancer risk.
This document discusses cancer globally and in India. It provides statistics on cancer incidence and mortality worldwide and in different countries/regions. Some key points:
- Total estimated new cancer cases worldwide in 2012 was 14 million, with 8.2 million cancer deaths.
- Developing countries account for about 6.7 million new cases and 4.7 million deaths annually.
- The three most common cancers globally are lung, breast, and colorectal cancer.
- In India, estimated new cancer cases in 2010 were 950,000, with breast cancer being the most common among women and lung cancer among men.
- Risk factors for cancer include tobacco use, diet, infection, and lack of screening/early detection
Overweight and obesity are associated with worse cancer outcomes and prognosis. Adipose tissue surrounding tumors, called cancer-associated adipocytes, secrete inflammatory molecules like IL-6 that can promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. In obese conditions, adipose tissue develops a pro-inflammatory state characterized by immune cell infiltration and cytokine expression. This inflamed environment may further enhance cancer-associated adipocytes' effects on tumor progression. Targeting inflammation in adipose tissue, such as with IL-6 blocking antibodies, could potentially improve cancer treatment outcomes, especially in obese patients where adipose tissue inflammation is increased.
This document discusses the relationship between diet and cancer development. It finds that 30-40% of cancers could be prevented through lifestyle and dietary changes. Specifically, it identifies several dietary factors that may increase cancer risk, such as a low fiber diet, red meat consumption, and an imbalance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Conversely, a diet high in fruits and vegetables may lower cancer risk due to antioxidants and other protective compounds. Certain foods like salmon, tomatoes, and soy are highlighted as containing nutrients that inhibit cancerogenesis. The role of probiotics and maintaining a healthy glucose metabolism are also discussed in cancer prevention.
Tim Byers Presentations International Congress on ObesityWCRF International
This document summarizes the epidemiologic and biologic mechanisms linking obesity to increased cancer risk. Obesity is associated with increased risks of cancers of the breast, endometrium, colon, kidney, pancreas, and esophagus. Potential mechanisms include increased production of estrogens, insulin, inflammatory cytokines, and other growth factors induced by excess body fat. While weight loss is associated with reduced cancer risk and changes in metabolic factors in observational studies, large randomized trials are still needed to confirm causal relationships. Understanding the biologic pathways involved could help identify prevention and treatment targets.
This document summarizes a presentation on weight loss and cancer risk reduction. It discusses how weight gain increases cancer risk, and how modest weight loss through dietary interventions can reduce cancer risk. Clinical trials show intermittent energy restriction may be more effective for weight loss and insulin reduction than daily energy restriction. Weight loss interventions are also discussed after a cancer diagnosis, though randomized trials are still needed. The presentation concludes by discussing targeting overweight individuals for weight loss interventions to reduce cancer risk.
The document discusses the relationship between obesity and breast cancer. It notes that obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women and is associated with poorer prognosis through various mechanisms like increased estrogen production. Managing obesity through weight loss and medications can help improve outcomes for breast cancer by reducing levels of hormones and inflammatory markers linked to tumor growth. Future research is exploring new drugs targeting obesity-related pathways.

1) Cancer may be best defined as a metabolic disease of the mitochondria rather than solely a genetic disease.
2) Therapies like calorie restriction and ketogenic diets that target energy metabolism can effectively manage tumor growth in mouse models and some human cases by lowering blood glucose and raising ketone levels.
3) A restricted ketogenic diet combined with other metabolic therapies may provide a novel non-toxic strategy for managing malignant cancers.
This study investigated the association between folate intake and BMI/body fat in adult women. The researchers divided 69 women into high and low folate to calorie intake ratio groups using a cutoff of 1 microgram of folate per 4 calories. They found that women with a higher folate to calorie ratio had significantly lower average BMIs and percentages of body fat compared to those with a lower ratio. Additionally, older women tended to be in the lower folate intake group. The results provide support that higher folate intake through food sources correlates with lower BMI and body fatness in adult women.
This document discusses the link between diabetes and cancer. It notes that cancer and diabetes are diagnosed together more frequently than expected by chance. Several risk factors are shared between the two diseases, including age, diet, obesity, and lifestyle factors. The document explores how insulin and IGF-1 may influence cancer development via their effects on cell growth pathways. It reviews evidence on the effects of different diabetes medications, including some studies that found certain insulin analogs may increase cancer risk. Several cohort studies on the cancer risks of insulin glargine are also summarized.
The document summarizes findings from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study on relationships between diet and cancer risk. It reports that red and processed meat strongly increased gastric and colorectal cancer risk while adherence to a Mediterranean diet decreased gastric cancer risk. Fiber intake reduced gastric and colorectal cancers while calcium intake lowered colorectal cancer risk.

1) The study examined biochemical correlates of anemia in Cambodian women of reproductive age, finding over 40% had a genetic hemoglobin disorder like heterozygous E trait or homozygous E.
2) Nearly 30% of women had anemia, most cases being microcytic, but few had biochemical evidence of iron, vitamin B12, folate, or vitamin A deficiencies. Iron deficiency was less than 1% based on ferritin and transferrin receptor.
3) Having a genetic hemoglobin disorder was associated with higher rates of anemia and tissue iron deficiency compared to those without a disorder, though iron deficiency anemia was still less than 1%.
This document summarizes research on the relationships between obesity, physical activity, and breast cancer risk and prognosis. It finds that obesity is positively associated with breast cancer risk and mortality in postmenopausal women. Physical activity is associated with reduced breast cancer risk and improved survival. Obesity may influence breast cancer through increased estrogen levels, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Weight loss interventions show improvements in relevant biomarkers and health outcomes for breast cancer survivors. The ENERGY trial aims to test if weight loss counseling improves weight and physical functioning in breast cancer survivors.
Metastatic Breast Cancer and The Tumor MicroenvironmentAmandaRussell40

Ueda2016 diabetes & cancer - mesbah kamelueda2015
Diabetes and certain cancers are linked by shared risk factors like obesity and age. People with diabetes have higher risks of cancers of the liver, pancreas, endometrium, and colon and breast cancers. The biological mechanisms linking the diseases involve insulin and insulin-like growth factors stimulating cancer cell growth. While hyperglycemia is not an independent risk factor, it can worsen cancer outcomes. Metformin may reduce cancer risk compared to other diabetes medications by activating AMPK, an energy sensor that puts cells in energy-saving mode and inhibits cancer cell growth. Further research is still needed to fully understand the diabetes-cancer relationship and its implications for treatment and management.
This document summarizes research on the developmental origins of obesity and cancer risk. It finds that both low and high birth weights are associated with increased risk of diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. Rapid postnatal growth and catch-up growth are also linked to obesity and disease risk. Experimental studies with animal models demonstrate that maternal diet, nutrition during pregnancy and lactation, and post-weaning diets can program offspring's risk of obesity and cancer through metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms.
Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased risk of certain cancers like liver, pancreas, endometrium, colorectal, breast and bladder cancers. The relationship is complex with factors like reverse causality, detection bias, shared risk factors between diabetes and cancer, and the effects of antidiabetic medications influencing cancer risk. Metformin appears to have a neutral or protective effect on cancer risk while insulin and sulfonylureas may increase risk, though data is still limited. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between diabetes, antidiabetic treatments and cancer.
The document discusses omega-3 fatty acids and their potential benefits for cancer therapy and prevention. Preclinical studies show omega-3s may suppress cancer growth and increase the efficacy of chemotherapy or radiation. Potential mechanisms for this include reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and inducing cancer cell death. Limited clinical studies also provide some evidence that omega-3 supplements may benefit cancer patients by reducing cachexia and improving responses to treatment for cancers like breast cancer.

Maintaining a balanced, mostly plant-based diet with moderate protein and calories can help prevent and fight cancer development and progression.
This document discusses cancer prevention through lifestyle modifications. It notes that 50-65% of cancer cases are potentially preventable by lifestyle changes like not smoking, maintaining a healthy diet and weight, limiting alcohol intake, and exercising regularly. Specific lifestyle risk factors that can increase cancer risk, such as smoking, poor diet, obesity, excessive alcohol, infections, and radiation exposure, are reviewed. The document emphasizes the role of diet, recommending a Mediterranean-style diet with fruits/vegetables and fish to reduce overall cancer risk.
Phytosterols for Cancer Treatment PowerpointJosh Nooner
Phytosterols show promise for cancer treatment based on several animal, in vitro, and human studies. Animal studies found that phytosterol supplementation delayed breast cancer tumor onset and reduced prostate cancer growth. In vitro studies demonstrated that phytosterols increased cancer cell apoptosis, decreased proliferation, and increased tumor suppressor genes. A human epidemiological study associated higher phytosterol intake with a 50% reduced risk of lung cancer. Collectively, the studies suggest phytosterols may exert anticancer effects through reducing oxidative damage, inhibiting growth and metastasis, and altering gene expression. However, more research is still needed, including long-term human clinical trials.

The document advocates designing pasture mixtures tailored to soil and season to provide maximum grazing and benefits to both livestock and soil health.
Benefits of Organic Agriculture as a Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation...x3G9
Organic agriculture has potential as both an adaptation and mitigation strategy for climate change in developing countries. As an adaptation strategy, organic agriculture builds soil organic matter and water retention, making agriculture less vulnerable to drought and extreme weather events. Organic agriculture also reduces financial risks for farmers through lower input costs and higher prices. As a mitigation strategy, organic agriculture avoids greenhouse gas emissions from synthetic fertilizers and sequesters carbon in soil organic matter through certain agricultural practices. While more research is still needed, organic agriculture shows promise as a sustainable livelihood approach that can help rural communities adapt to climate change impacts with low financial requirements.

Vitamin C is selectively toxic to cancer cells
• Vitamin C behaves as pro-oxidant
– Interacts with intracellular Fe & Cu
– Reaction produces H2O2
– Cancer cells are deficient in catalase

Ascorbate Findings by RECNAC
49. • IV Vitamin C inhibits hyaluronidase
• IV Vitamin C Corrects scurvy in Cancer Patients
• IV Vitamin C induces apoptosis
• IV Vitamin C reduces pain
• IV Vitamin C neutralizes chemo and radiation
toxicity without neutralizing their cancer killing
effects

52. Benefits of Additional Vitamins
• Adding Vitamin B-12 create cytotoxic
cobalt ascorbate
• Adding Lipoic Acid “recycles” ascorbate to
maintain plasma saturations and increase
sensitivity of cancer cells to ascorbate
• Adding Vitamin K-3 (menadione) recycles
DHA (Dihydro ascorbate)

62. The Lancet
December 12, 1987 pp 1371-1374 European Stroke
Prevention- Two year study
– No benefits from Aspirin Alone
– With Dipyridamole: Stroke reduced 50%,
myocardial infarction reduced 38%, cancer
reduced 30%
– Boehringer Ingelheim (original patent holder): no

cancer cells from attaching to vascular system
(metastasis)
Dipyridamole
63. The Lancet
March 23, 1985 p 692
Dr. E.H. Rhodes, St. Hiler and Kingman Hospital in
Surrey, England
• 30 Melanoma Patients
– 300 mg/day Dipyridamole: 11 year study
