Article Abstract

Recent progress in understanding key events in carcinogenesis, early cancer detection, therapeutic interventions to prevent cancer, public policy, and biobehavioral approaches toward cancer control was the subject of the 6th Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research held on December 5 to 8, 2007, in Philadelphia, PA. Abundant preclinical and clinical data show that invasive cancer is preventable, yet clinical strategies to decrease society's cancer burden through prevention, early detection, and lifestyle modification are still in the early phases of development and implementation. The conference explored the multiple facets of cancer prevention and provided an update on the progress and challenges in this rapidly developing field.

This study aims to investigate the predictive value of combined phenotypic age and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and develop a machine learning-based risk prediction model to inform precision prevention and clinical management strategies. The study analyzed data from 784 male participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2001-2008). Phenotypic age was derived from chronological age and nine serum biomarkers.

Health disparities in neurology.

Nat Rev Neurol

Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Health disparities are preventable differences in health between different populations, and they are endemic throughout medicine owing to social, economic and environmental disadvantages. Neurology is no exception, and health disparities for systematically marginalized groups are present in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of all neurological disorders. The aetiology of these disparities is complex and multifactorial, reflecting the interplay of structural, institutional and individual-level factors.

ABO blood group antigens influence host-microbe interactions and risk of early spontaneous preterm birth.

The mechanisms by which vaginal microbiota shape spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) risk remain poorly defined. Using electronic clinical records data from 74,913 maternities in conjunction with metaxanomic (n = 596) and immune profiling (n = 314) data, we show that the B blood group phenotype associates with increased risk of sPTB and adverse vaginal microbiota composition. The O blood group associates with sPTB in women who have a combination of a previous history of sPTB, an adverse vaginal microbial composition and pro-inflammatory cervicovaginal milieu.

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer.

Nature

September 2025

Department of Translational Genomics, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer, characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastatic spread, frequent early relapse and a high mortality rate. Recent evidence has suggested that innervation has an important role in the development and progression of several types of cancer. Cancer-to-neuron synapses have been reported in gliomas, but whether peripheral tumours can form such structures is unknown.
