Risk Of Cancer Due To Radiation Exposure In Middle Age May Be Higher Than Previously Estimated
Contrary to common assumptions, the risk of cancer associated with radiation exposure in middle age may not be lower than the risk associated with exposure at younger ages, according to a study published online October 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. It is well known that children are more sensitive than adults to the effects of radiation and that they have a greater risk of developing radiation-induced cancer than adults. Some data also suggest that, in general, the older a person is when exposed to radiation, the lower their risk of developing a radiation-induced cancer. On the other hand, statistical evidence from long-term studies of atomic bomb survivors in Japan indicates that for radiation exposure after about age 30, the risk of developing radiation-induced cancer does not continue to decline..."

Colorectal Cancer Rates Could Drop 23% With Lifestyle Changes Alone
Colorectal cancer rates could be reduced by nearly one-quarter if people adopted some lifestyle changes which include watching diet, smoking habits, exercise, alcohol consumption and waist size, Danish researchers wrote in an article published in the BMJ (British Medical Journal). 16,250 people die of colorectal cancer each year in the UK and 38,600 new diagnoses are made annually. Colorectal cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK; it is also the third most common cancer in the country.

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the USA. 49,470 men and 53,430 women are diagnosed with colon cancer every year in the USA, and 22,620 males and 17,050 females are diagnosed with rectal cancer..."
