When he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer.

Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age.

While such vigilant（警觉的）tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly

But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so deep-rooted that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups.

It's hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data

Why do doctors recommend routine cancer screening for elderly people?

How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly

What is the conventional view about women screening for breast cancer?

Why do many doctors prescribe routine screening for cancer

In many cases, screening can lead to surgeries to remove cancer, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients' remaining years.

Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment

For example, Karen Hayes, a life coach in Toronto, conducts knitting therapy programs, including Knit to Quit to help smokers give up the habit, and Knit to Heal for people coping with health crises, like a cancer diagnosis or serious illness of a family

On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more.

Recently it was shown that they could be trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer in images.

Studies have explored evidence that dietary changes can slow inflammation, for example, or make the body inhospitable to cancer cells.

There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke or heart disease.

There's no question people can take things a long way toward reversing diabetes, reversing high blood pressure, even preventing cancer by food choices.

Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed blood cancer because of exposure to radiation.

Research now says adding fiber to the teen diet may help lower the risk of breast cancer.

Is surgery, radiation or careful monitoring best for prostate ( ' , 前列腺) cancer? Is the latest and most expensive cholesterol-lowering drug any better than its common competitors? The pending bills would spend additional money to accelerate this effort.

This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.

But that isn't why the government—under pressure from cancer charities, health workers and the Labour party—has agreed to legislate for standardised packaging.

One reason for the rise in deaths from Alzheimer’s disease in this group may be that developing this condition remains possible even after people beat the odds of dying from other diseases such as cancer.

In 2000, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, flu, cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.

They don't like to associate technology with food,\ said Nicholas Genovese, a visiting scholar in cancer cell biology.

Many cancer cases could be prevented.

Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer.

The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers.

But telling them that eating lots of high-fiber foods could reduce the risk of breast cancer before middle age, that's a powerful message.

Is surgery, radiation or careful monitoring best for prostate cancer?

It turns out that those who consumed the highest levels of fiber during adolescence had a lower risk of developing breast cancer, compared to the women who ate the least fiber.

Several noted nutritionists and research projects have concluded that this diet is one of the most healthful in the world in terms of preventing such illnesses as heart disease and cancer, and increasing life expectancy.

The bottom line here is the more fiber you eat, perhaps, a lower level of hormone in your body, and therefore, a lower lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.

This important study demonstrates that the more fiber you eat during your high school years, the lower your risk is in developing breast cancer in later life.

A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman's risk of breast cancer.

After all, it was rumored that smoking caused cancer for years before the evidence was found to prove a connection.

The zones do deliver some improvements to air quality, and the science tells us that means real health benefits - fewer heart attacks, strokes and premature births, less cancer, dementia and asthma.

While studies have shown that acrylamide can cause neurological damage in mice, there is no conclusive evidence that it causes cancer in humans.
