New research findings suggest that the recommended timeline for colonoscopy screenings may be extended for patients with an average risk of colon cancer. Instead of the current recommendation of undergoing a colonoscopy every 10 years, Swedish researchers have found that waiting an additional five years after a negative initial screening carries about the same risk of later being diagnosed with colorectal cancer or dying from the disease. This extended screening time could potentially reduce unnecessary invasive examinations, according to a study published in JAMA Oncology.

Colorectal cancer is considered as the fourth most common cancer diagnosis in the United States, and it is also the second most fatal after lung cancer. The American Cancer Society suggests that individuals without a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors such as inflammatory bowel disease should begin screening at age 45.

In an accompanying editorial, gastroenterologists anticipate that future screening guidelines may safely be prolonged for certain individuals, implying that “15 has the potential to be the new 10.” As rates of colorectal cancer diagnoses are increasing among younger people below 50 years old, there is now a growing demand for colonoscopies among this demographic. However, limited resources and personnel create challenges in providing regular screenings to everyone over 50.

The recent study examined national registry data from more than 110,000 individuals who had received their first negative result from a colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. Comparing these individuals with over one million in a control group, researchers discovered that stretching out screenings to ever

Researchers in Florida are developing an mRNA-based cancer vaccine as immunotherapy against the difficult-to-treat and aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma. They report promising early results of a first small study of the therapy in humans.

The scientists gave it mRNA-based, individually prepared vaccine for four adult patients with glioblastoma. The effect was a powerful immune response directed against the tumor. The results have been published in the journal Cell.

Difficult to treat brain tumor

The success of the mRNA vaccines against covid-19 gave new energy to research into other medical uses for the mRNA technology. The pharmaceutical world has also previously reported about promising such research tracks.

The current project at the University of Florida, USA, is yet another example. There, the researchers have focused on the brain cancer glioblastoma. This is the most common brain tumor in adults and affects around 400 people a year in Sweden.

The prognosis is often poor because the tumor branches into surrounding brain tissue in a way that makes it difficult to access with surgery and radiation. The

Pamper your microbiota

Among the first advice given by Guillaume Fond was the microbiota : « The influence of the microbiota on our immune system is perfectly demonstrated. It strengthens it when it is well, and conversely, when it is altered, it will weaken the immune system and trigger chronic inflammation. »

Do without ultra-processed food

Guillaume Fond: “ We have several meta-analyses which demonstrate that in mental health, in 2022/2023, as soon as the proportion of ultra-processed foods exceeds 20% of the

This study, carried out by researchers from Inserm in particular, covered more than 8.5 million children born in France between 2010 and 2021. It shows that children born under assisted reproduction do not develop more cancer than others, except for leukemia in which “a slight increase in risk was seen”.

Children born after medically assisted procreation (ART) do not develop more cancer than other children, except in the case of leukemia when a very small risk was observed, emphasized a major study on Friday 3 May.
