AICR July Research Update

[TanyaRD]

Nothing directly breast cancer related in here but the obesity trends are interesting and of course have some application to breast ca. Also found the whole grain article sighting the small reduction of visceral fat interesting and applicable.

Thanks, Tonya, for the update on AICR http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?page=...s_iv_ctrl=2302 (http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=20931&news_iv_ctrl=2302).

Many of us could be at high risk of getting colon cancer. Not just the ones that are at risks because of HNPCC link - one of my neurosurgeons had commented once that "people who have one type of cancer are more likely to get another cancer..."

The link below from National Institute of Health gives a comprehensive review on HNPCC and related cancers (including a small incident of breast cancer):
