The two major HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, are taking the credit for cervical abnormalities that never would have developed into cancer.

Even a short session of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can slow the growth of colon cancer cells or even kill them off completely.

Even if you're 75 when you finally give up the burger for healthier options, such as vegetables and fruits, you'll still start seeing your health turnaround, say researchers who tracked the diets and health of around 2,000 middle-aged men and women.

Arsenic trioxide has been used for years to treat a rare type of blood cancer—but it can also combat the most aggressive and common form of brain cancer, gliobastoma multiforme.

The discovery should give further motivation to smokers to stop, say researchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center; "if you smoke, now is a good time to quit," said lead researcher Hilary Tindle.

The virus makes cancer cells join together and explode, explains Mayo Clinic researcher Dr Angela Dispenzieri. It also stimulates the immune system to detect any recurring cancer cells and 'mops them up'.

Although it's been recognised for a long time that measles and other viruses are natural cancer fighters—it's known as virotherapy—the dose seems to be an important factor. Dispenzieri and her Mayo colleagues engineered, or genetically modified, the measles virus strain, and gave it in a dose strong enough to vaccinate 10 million people to a woman with end-stage multiple myeloma.

The two practices reduce inflammation markers within three months, which suggests they are boosting the immune system. They also appear to improve brain health, and make you more alert and awake.

Nearly 90 years ago, German physician Otto Warburg noticed cancer cells behaved differently. Instead of using oxygen to turn food into energy, as healthy cells do, cancer cells feed off glucose.

The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) will shortly release the full results of its $25m research project that involved exposing laboratory mice and rats to 10-minute bursts of cell-phone radiation for two years.

It upheld a ruling that a man had developed acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour of the head, as a direct consequence of using a mobile phone for long periods.

Non-profit research funding is not being allocated to the research of these cancers—and it could be because some consider the cancers are 'embarrassing' or have been stigmatized.

The biggest myth out there about veganism is that it'll leave you weak, at risk of anemia, lacking in energy and struggling to build muscle. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

The theory that the supplements cause prostate cancer—first suggested in a paper published in 2013—has been debunked by researchers at the Intermountain Healthcare Heart Institute.

Bacteria seen in periodontal disease has also been found in liver cancer cells, say researchers at Queen's Hospital in Belfast.

In a breakthrough study that could herald in a new drugs-free approach to treating colon cancer, researchers have discovered that sufferers lack certain enzymes known as metabolites, simple 'building-block' compounds, in their gut, and this can cause inflammation and cancer.

The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a simple blood test that men over the age of 50 are invited to have—but plans to make it a routine test for all over-50s will probably be shelved following the damning review from the University of Bristol, funded by Cancer Research.

Oils, such as extra virgin olive oil and soybean oil, help our body absorb the nutrients in greens and salads.
