New figures released by Cancer Research UK show that by 2027 50 out of 100 men will develop some form of cancer at some point during their lives, in the United Kingdom. This is compared to 44 out of 100 in 2010. Women also saw an increase from 40 to 44 out of 100 in the same time period. One of the causes for this could be that people will live longer over the next 15 years, meaning that they would have an increased risk of developing cancer. The cancers that are set to increase the most in the next 15 years are prostate, bowel, and melanoma cancer. While the risk of developing cancer is increasing, the rate at which people are surviving cancer is as well. With new techniques to detect the disease and new treatments, survival has doubled in the last 40 years. For more information, please visit Cancer Research UK's website by clicking here.

Researchers from the University of Lund (Sweden), have reported in the official journal of the American Dairy Science Association, Journal of Dairy Science, that drinking milk can protect from colon cancer progression. Milk had been previously known to reduce the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and even positively impact your brain and mental performance. The researchers found that Lactoferricin4-14, a protein found in milk, considerably reduced the growth rate of colon cancer cells over the long term.

The largest study ever on whether cell phones cause tumors to the central nervous system has found that cell phones do not cause tumors. The Danish study involved an 18 year period involving 358,403 people, self reportedly the largest study on the topic. The researchers determined that within a 10 year period of cell phone use, that cell phones do not cause brain tumors; however, longer periods than 10 years still need to be examined.

In a new report released by MacMillan, a United Kingdom cancer charity, exercise can greatly benefit cancer survivors. Breast cancer patients' risk of recurrence and dying from the disease can be reduced by 40%, bowel cancer patients' by up to 50%, and prostate cancer patients' by up to 30%. Despite the findings however, most health professionals are not aware of this and are not talking to their patients about it. To view the report on MacMillan's website, please click here.
