"In the United States, how long a person lives can vary substantially depending on where in the country they reside.

Comparing the life expectancy of people born from 1900 to 2000, a study published Monday found that in many southern states, life expectancy changed very little, especially for women. But in several states in the Northeast and West, as well as in Washington, D.C., it improved significantly."

According to a study, which was published in Journal of the National Cancer Institute, childhood phthalate exposure is linked to a 20% higher rate of childhood cancer. This association is not reflected for gestational phthalate exposure.

The data also shows a nearly three-fold higher rate of osteosarcoma (a bone cancer) and a two-fold higher rate of lymphoma (a blood cancer).

Cool! A clinical trial run by the NCI confirms that a single dose of the HPV vaccine used to prevent infection with the papilloma virus is just as effective as 2 — & also helps to prevent cancer. The shots prevent cervical cancer & anal, penile, and some head-&-neck cancers.

“I think we can all agree that one dose & two doses of … these fantastic vaccines work really well,” said Kreimer, the NCI investigator.

STAT · U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccinesA new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

ENG: Colorectal cancer diagnose was 3,3X more likely in people under 40 diagnosed with ADN mutation related to colibactin bacteria.

Early exposure to this bacteria could make colorectal cancer much more prevalent in young adults. Previous studies have associated it to ultra processed food, sugar loaded drinks and alcohol.

ESP: "Si alguien adquiere una de estas mutaciones provocadas por la bacteria colibactina antes de los 10 años, podría adelantar décadas en desarrollo de cáncer colorrectal y padecerlo a los 40 años en lugar de a los 60", afirma Alexandrov.

Investigaciones anteriores han identificado varias asociaciones que podrían estar contribuyendo al aumento del cáncer colorrectal a una edad relativamente temprana. Los estudios han señalado, por ejemplo, los alimentos ultraprocesados y el exceso de bebidas azucaradas o alcohólicas.

ScienceAlert · One Cancer Is Rising Rapidly in Younger People, And Bacteria Could Be WhyScientists investigating an alarming rise in bowel cancer in young adults have identified the bacterial toxin colibactin as a potential culprit, with childhood exposure perhaps increasing the risk of later cancer development.
