Scientists have discovered a simple dietary fix that might help reduce a person’s skin cancer risk.

Juice your way to skin cancer prevention? Fruity concoction shows promise in study

The bio-transformed blueberry juice significantly inhibited the reproduction of skin cancer stem cells in a lab study. 

Researchers found that the bio-transformed blueberry juice significantly inhibited the reproduction of skin cancer stem cells in a lab study.

As you get older, it becomes increasingly important to check your skin for signs of cancer.&nbsp;Research has shown that using sunscreen regularly and eating a&nbsp;healthy&nbsp;diet&nbsp;rich in antioxidants&nbsp;may reduce the risk&nbsp;of skin cancer.&nbsp;

COVID-19 pandemic remains a public health emergency, and those with underlying health conditions like diabetes and cancer are at more risk

 Co-morbidities & Covid: All you need to Know

Tap to know what are the dos and don&rsquo;ts for diabetes and cancer patients when taking Covid-19 vaccine

The dos and don&rsquo;ts for diabetes and cancer patients

The continuing COVID-19 pandemic remains a public health emergency worldwide, and those with underlying health conditions like diabetes remain at the top of the list for risks associated with the novel coronavirus.
According to American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes face greater risks of complications when dealing with COVID-19. The risk of catching the virus in diabetics isn't higher than anyone else but they could face severe health issues if they get sick and if their diabetes isn't well-controlled.
To reduce the chance of getting infected, people with diabetes should strictly practice social distancing, maintain good hygiene, always wear masks in public and try to keep their blood sugar under control as it weakens the immune system and makes it difficult to fight off infections. Here are some more precautions diabetics must follow.
1. Make sure you eat properly and stay hydrated. You need the right amount of carbs to maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout the day.
2. COVID-19 can reduce your appetite and cause you to eat less, which could affect your sugar levels. Check your blood sugar more often than usual.
3. Take your medication as directed because if you stop taking prescribed medications, you're setting yourself up for serious complications.
4. Try to stay active while you are at home, exercise and walks help to manage&nbsp;diabetes.
5. Take care of your immunity by consuming immunity-boosting foods such as chickpeas, carrots, walnuts, lentils and fatty&nbsp;seafood.&nbsp;
6. Pay attention to your mental health as social and physical isolation may increase anxiety and depression.
Lastly, watch for symptoms and get yourself tested if required. 
What does Covid-19 infection mean for cancer patients?
There are two elements to this discussion. One for Cancer survivors and the other for those undergoing cancer treatment. For Cancer survivors, it is best recommended that they take the vaccine as they are already on the path to recovery.&nbsp;
Patients who have undergone cancer surgery
Such patients should consult their doctors before getting vaccinated. One&rsquo;s type of cancer and treatment determines the risk factors, benefits, timelines and what one should know before receiving the first dose.
Patients receiving chemotherapy
Patients undergoing treatments such as Chemotherapy and Radiation should go for Covid vaccination after taking a gap of 5-7 days from their last session. It is important to take the vaccine at a time when your white blood count (WBC) and blood platelets are not low. Therefore, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) needs to be done before getting vaccinated. 
Patients with leukaemia
It is recommended that patients with leukaemia should delay vaccination until after the completion of chemotherapy treatments such as induction therapy which is given for acute leukaemia. Also, they must consult their doctor before getting vaccinated.
Patients undergoing stem cell therapy
Patients who are within three months of an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant or CART Cell Therapy, should go for vaccination after consultation&nbsp;with their doctor. In addition, those with severe Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) and those with low B-cell counts should discuss with their provider whether vaccination should be delayed.
Patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery
Vaccination is usually given on the left shoulder but if a person has undergone left breast removal, the vaccination should be taken on the right shoulder. If both breasts have been removed, then the vaccine shot should be either taken on the thigh or the hips.

A study published in The Lancet Oncology journal reveals that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or 5% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases in India in 2020.

Alcohol negative effects: 62k cancer cases in India linked to alcohol drinking

Here&rsquo;s another reason to think harder before pouring your next drink!&nbsp;62,100 cancer cases in India linked to alcohol consumption

Think before you drink: 62k cancer cases in India linked to alcohol consumption

Lancet study offers another reason to rethink your next boozy drink&nbsp;
62k newly diagnosed cancer cases in India in 2020 linked to alcohol
4% of all new global cancer cases attributed to alcohol consumption
Men account for 77% of the alcohol-associated cancer cases
Even low levels of drinking can cause DNA&nbsp;damage &amp; hormonal imbalances
Largest number of cases:&nbsp;oesophagus, liver and breast cancer
First study in 2020 to find a direct causal link to alcohol drinking
Alcohol drinking dips in Europe, rising in China, India &amp; sub-Saharan Africa
Covid-19 pandemic also spiked drinking rates in some countries: IARC
Small changes to public drinking behaviour may improve the situation
Suggestions: reduced availability, warning labels &amp; marketing bans&nbsp;

Study published in The Lancet Oncology journal reveals that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or 5% of all newly diagnosed&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;cases in India&nbsp;in 2020.

Here&rsquo;s another reason to think harder before pouring your next drink!&nbsp;A large-scale study published in The Lancet Oncology journal has revealed that alcohol consumption was linked to 62,100 or five per cent of all newly diagnosed&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;cases in India&nbsp;in 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Globally, 740,000 or four per cent of new&nbsp;cancer cases&nbsp;in 2020 were attributed to alcohol by the research team. Of this, men accounted for 77&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the alcohol-associated cancer cases compared to women at 23 per&nbsp;cent.

Even relatively low levels of drinking contributed to DNA damage&nbsp;and caused hormonal imbalances in people.&nbsp;Alcohol even&nbsp;worsens the cancer-causing effects of other substances, such as tobacco, noted the team.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cancers of the oesophagus, liver and breast accounted for the largest number of cases.&nbsp;These cancers have well-established causal links to alcohol consumption, and the estimates of the direct associations with alcohol in the recent peer-reviewed study are the first of their kind for 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The study also demonstrates how alcohol consumption is decreasing in many European nations but is steadily rising&nbsp;in Asian countries like China and India, and in sub-Saharan Africa.&nbsp;The&nbsp;International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) also says that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a spike in drinking rates in some countries.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the study highlights the rise in alcohol-linked&nbsp;cancer rates, it also suggests that even small changes&nbsp;to public drinking behaviour may improve the situation. Suggestions included&nbsp;reduced alcohol availability, labelling alcohol products with a health warning, and marketing bans to reduce the rates of alcohol-driven cancer.&nbsp;

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a serious impact on many people, including cancer patients, their families and caregivers. Currently, the biggest worry gripping them is whether getting vaccinated against this virus is safe or not, as they have a different level of resistance &amp; disease-fighting power.
Dr. Anil Heroor, Head of Surgical Oncology, Fortis Hospital, Mulund &amp; Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi shared with Indian Express, the dos and don&rsquo;ts for Cancer patients before getting the jab. So, here&rsquo;s what you need to know.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is associated&nbsp;with symptoms like heartburn, may enhance the risk of cancers of the larynx and esophagus, a new study published in journal Cancer suggests.
For the study, a team led by scientists of the National Cancer Institute, which is a part of the US National Institutes of Health, analyzed information on 490,605 adults.
24% of the participants had a history of GERD and they concluded after 16 years that 931 patients developed esophageal adenocarcinoma, 876 developed laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and 301 developed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Even though more research is needed to ascertain the findings, their study claimed that people with GERD were at two times higher risk of developing these cancers.

A form of vitamin B3 may offer protection from non-melanoma skin cancers, a new study by Italian researchers has found.
Presented at the meeting of European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, the study claims that a form of vitamin B3 may protect skin cells from the harmful UV rays, considered to be the main risk factor for such cancers.
The research states that vitamin B3, which is also called nicotine acid or niacinamide, plays a crucial role in DNA repair and cell signalling and is found in every day food items.
For the study, researchers isolated cells from non-melanoma skin cancer patients, which were then treated with three different concentrations of NAM, a form of vitamin B3.
The results concluded that pre-treatment with NAM 24 hours before UV radiation protected the cells from DNA damage and oxidative stress caused by UV rays. However, they warned that the protection offered by Vitamin B3 is short-lived so it should be consumed not later than 24-48 hours before sun exposure.
