Global cancer cases to rise 75% by 2030 as developing countries adopt
bad habits from the West‎‎
Global cancer cases are projected to rise 75 percent by 2030, in part
because many other diseases are being stamped out and more developing
countries are adopting Western lifestyles linked to cancer,
international cancer experts reported. The paper was published Friday
in the journal Lancet Oncology.

Decoding Cancer: Scientists Release 520 Tumor Genomes from Pediatric
Patients
Childhood cancer experts are hoping that at least some of what drives
pediatric cancers can be gleaned from the genomes of patients and
their tumors. That$B!G(Bs the thinking behind the Pediatric Cancer Genome

Sleep Apnea and Cancer: Treating Sleep Apnea Dentally‎
Let's talk today about sleep apnea and the treatments for such. This
is on my mind because of a recent report that came out the University
of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The findings
basically say that researches have discovered a link between sleep
apnea and cancer, stating that those with sleep apnea or sleep
disordered breathing are 4.8 times likely to die of cancer than those
with no sleep disorder at all.

India has high incidence of oral cancer, say doctors‎‎‎
Tobacco use, including smokeless tobacco and excessive alcohol
consumption, are prominent risk factors in oral cancer, being

published several papers on the prevalence of the deadly ailments in
its different forms.
