Sugar Restriction in Infancy Tied to Lower Cancer Risk; Melanoma Vaccine Shows Promise

A study found that people with restricted sugar exposure during their first two years had a lower adult cancer risk, while another linked antioxidant-rich diets to reduced cervical cancer risk. The FDA declined approval for a dasatinib formulation due to manufacturing issues, and a phase III trial showed that adding a cancer vaccine to pembrolizumab improved outcomes in resected melanoma. Additional findings included fewer than 15% of eligible lung cancer patients discussing screening with doctors, and centenarians having an abundance of cancer-fighting immune cells.
