Gel Manicures: Nail Damage and Cancer Risks Revealed
Frequent gel manicures damage nails due to harsh removal processes (acetone, metal tools) and UV lamps linked to cancer-causing mutations (2023 UC San Diego study); alternatives include limiting manicures, using nail strengtheners, and choosing salons with safe practices.

Study Links 93 Million US CT Scans to Potential 103,000 Cancer Cases
A new study projects that 93 million CT scans performed in the US in 2023 may eventually cause 103,000 additional cancer cases due to cumulative ionizing radiation exposure, while the American College of Radiology counters that this lacks direct evidence and that newer technologies use significantly...

CT Scans Linked to 103,000 Projected Cancer Cases, Sparking New Safety Regulations
A new study reveals that CT scans, while valuable in detecting diseases, may be causing approximately 103,000 lifetime cases of radiation-induced cancers in California due to high and variable radiation doses, leading to new Medicare regulations to improve safety.

Waist Circumference Increase Linked to Higher Cancer Risk in Men
A Swedish study analyzing 340,000 health records found a significant link between increased waist circumference and cancer risk, particularly in men, where a 4-inch (11cm) increase over 14 years correlated with a 25% higher risk, highlighting waist circumference as a more effective measure than BMI ...

PFAS in US Tap Water Linked to 33% Higher Cancer Risk
A study reveals that Americans exposed to 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) in tap water have up to a 33 percent higher risk of developing certain cancers, with an estimated 6,864 annual cancer cases linked to PFAS-contaminated water; researchers call for stricter regulations.

Excessive CT Scans Linked to 5% of US Cancer Diagnoses
A US study estimates that excessive CT scan use contributes to 1 in 20 annual cancer diagnoses, with children under one year old facing a tenfold higher risk; researchers urge reduced use and optimized radiation doses to mitigate this risk.

CT Scans Linked to Increased Cancer Risk: 1 in 20 Cases
A new study reveals that CT scans may cause cancer in about 1 in 20 patients, with infants at ten times higher risk; the risk is comparable to that of alcohol consumption and excess weight, highlighting the need for minimizing unnecessary scans.

Tattoos Linked to Significantly Increased Skin Cancer and Lymphoma Risk
A study of over 2,000 twins found that people with tattoos had a significantly increased risk of skin cancer (up to 137% for large tattoos) and lymphoma (173% for large tattoos), potentially due to ink accumulating in lymph nodes and triggering chronic inflammation.

Stress, Obesity Magnify Pancreatic Cancer Risk in Mice: Study
UCLA research shows that stress and obesity significantly increase pancreatic cancer risk in mice, accelerating precancerous lesion growth, especially in females, by activating CREB, suggesting potential for repurposing beta-blockers for prevention.

Melatonin Supplements May Repair DNA Damage in Night-Shift Workers
A study of 40 night-shift workers found that four weeks of melatonin supplementation improved DNA repair, indicated by an 80 percent higher urinary 8-OHdG level during daytime sleep in the melatonin group compared to a placebo group. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Combined Healthy Waist and Exercise Key to Minimizing Cancer Risk
A study of 315,000 Britons reveals that maintaining a healthy waist circumference (below 88cm for women and 102cm for men) and engaging in 150-300 minutes of moderate or 75-150 minutes of vigorous weekly exercise is crucial for minimizing cancer risk; meeting only one guideline is insufficient.
