Report Back from SGO: What's the Latest in Ovarian Cancer?bkling
Dr. Joyce F. Liu, Director of Clinical Research for Gynecologic Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, provides a comprehensive update from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.
Breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy presents unique challenges as treatment must consider both the health of the mother and fetus. Diagnosis may be delayed due to changes in breast tissue during pregnancy. Imaging options are limited but ultrasound is useful. Treatment involves surgery, usually lumpectomy, and chemotherapy after the first trimester. Radiation is avoided due to risks to the fetus. Outcomes are similar when accounting for stage, though delay in diagnosis impacts prognosis. Pregnancy after treatment does not impact survival but is often deferred for 2 years. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach to balance aggressive maternal care and fetal protection.
Breast cancer screening guidelines recommend biennial mammography for women aged 50-74 in well-resourced settings, as it can reduce breast cancer mortality by around 16% compared to no screening. For limited-resource settings, the guidelines conditionally recommend clinical breast examination as a low-cost alternative. Screening intervals of less than 24 months show no added benefit over longer intervals. Shared decision making around risks of false positives and overdiagnosis is important. Early diagnosis through awareness and symptom screening is prioritized where most women present at late stages due to weak health systems.
This document discusses the use of precision radiotherapy and systemic therapies in gynecological malignancies. It begins with an overview of endometrial cancer epidemiology, classification systems, molecular subtypes, and treatment guidelines. It then discusses risk stratification and adjuvant treatment indications for endometrial cancer. The document also reviews hormonal and cytotoxic chemotherapy options for recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer. It concludes with sections on cervical cancer staging and treatment algorithms.
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV infection is very common and in most cases does not cause health problems, but some high-risk HPV types can cause cervical cancer over many years if left untreated. Screening through regular Pap tests can detect pre-cancerous changes early so they can be treated before they develop into invasive cancer. A new HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers.
Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth and the ability to invade nearby tissues. The most common cancers worldwide are lung, breast, and colorectal cancers. In India, the four most common cancers are oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and lung cancers in men, and breast, cervix, oropharynx, and esophagus cancers in women. Environmental factors like tobacco, alcohol, viruses, radiation, and genetic factors contribute to cancer development. Cancer control involves prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation efforts. Breast and cervical cancers are significant issues, with screening and education helping address them.
1. Breast cancer develops from mutations in genes controlling cell growth and health. Abnormal cells divide uncontrollably, forming tumors that can be benign or malignant.
2. Malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread via the lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Breast cancer refers specifically to malignant tumors in the breast.
3. Treatment plans consider cancer type, stage, hormone sensitivity, and patient history. Early detection through education and screening as well as primary and adjuvant therapies can help improve outcomes for breast cancer.
World Cancer Day aims to reduce the global burden of cancer through collective and individual action. Collectively, we can prevent cancer by avoiding risks, creating healthy environments in schools, workplaces and cities, supporting cancer survivors to return to work, improving access to care, and shaping policies. Individually, we can make healthy choices, seek early detection, ask for support, take control of our cancer journey, and advocate for others. The goal is to educate about effective interventions and change perceptions so that all people have access to high quality cancer treatment and support.

This document summarizes the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recommendations for cancer prevention through nutrition and physical activity. The AICR identifies lifestyle choices like weight, physical activity, diet, and tobacco use as controllable causes of cancer. The 10 AICR recommendations include being a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, eating more plant foods and less red and processed meat, limiting alcohol intake, and breastfeeding. Adopting these evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle behaviors can help reduce cancer risk.
Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can significantly lower cancer risk. Obesity is linked to increased risk of various cancers like breast, colon, and kidney cancer. Losing weight helps reduce cancer risk by lowering hormone and inflammation levels in the body. Getting adequate vitamin D and K through diet and supplements may also provide cancer protective effects.
Pancreatic cancer is a deadly form of cancer that is difficult to detect early. It typically spreads rapidly and accounts for about 7% of cancer deaths. Risk factors include increasing age, smoking, obesity, family history, diabetes, and chronic pancreatitis. Early warning signs can include jaundice, abdominal or back pain, nausea, weight loss, greasy stools, changes in urine color, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by not smoking, eating a balanced diet, exercising, and limiting alcohol intake may help reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

Think Before You Eat and Drink
The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) continues its 365 Health Challenge and encourages everyone to eat and drink smartly. Research strongly indicates that making smart choices regarding what is taken in and exercising regularly can have a positive effect, not only on a person’s well-being, but also reduces individual cancer risk.

Cancer is caused by mutations in genes that control cell growth. This causes cells to divide rapidly and invade other tissues. There are two main types of tumors - malignant tumors which are cancerous and benign tumors which are non-cancerous. The top five cancers worldwide are lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and stomach cancer. Nutrition and lifestyle factors can both increase and decrease cancer risk. A healthy diet with fruits/veggies and limiting red meat, alcohol and tobacco can help prevent cancer.
Computer pattern analysis identified a "Western" diet pattern associated with disease risk, characterized by red/processed meat, butter, potatoes, refined grains and high-fat dairy. A "Prudent" pattern was protective. Studies found the Western pattern increased risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke by up to 64%, while the Prudent pattern decreased risks by up to 34%. Research on meat, dairy products and alcohol consumption presented mixed or inconclusive findings regarding cancer and other health risks. Moderation was generally recommended.
Using food as your medicine discusses how nutrition impacts cancer. It notes that cancer rates are increasing globally and lifestyle factors like diet account for 90-95% of cancer cases. A plant-based diet high in fruits and vegetables can reduce cancer risk by 40-64% and mortality by 1/3 by supporting the body's natural defenses and reducing inflammation. Specific foods like red meat and saturated fats may promote cancer while phytonutrients in plants like broccoli act as antioxidants and detoxifiers. Maintaining a balanced, mostly plant-based diet with moderate protein and calories can help prevent and fight cancer development and progression.
- World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK) is a charity focused on cancer prevention through diet, physical activity, and weight management. About a third of common cancers could be prevented in this way.
- WCRF UK funds research and interprets scientific evidence to develop recommendations for reducing cancer risk. Their 10 recommendations include maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, eating a plant-based diet low in processed and red meats, and limiting alcohol and salty foods.
- WCRF UK educates the public about lifestyle choices that can lower cancer risk based on their evidence-based recommendations.

The document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compares intermittent energy restriction (IER) to continuous energy restriction (CER) in women receiving chemotherapy for early breast cancer. The trial aims to test if IER is feasible for women on chemotherapy and to compare the two diets' effects on weight changes, body composition, chemotherapy toxicity, and blood biomarkers. Over 470 women were screened for eligibility, with 172 women enrolled and randomly assigned to receive individual counseling and support for either the IER or CER diet during their 4.5-6 months of chemotherapy. Outcomes will be assessed after chemotherapy completion to analyze differences between the diet groups.
To support governments as they develop national food and nutrition plans and targets, we have produced a new policy brief in collaboration with NCD Alliance.

This document describes the Continuous Update Project, a novel approach developed by the World Cancer Research Fund to systematically review mechanistic evidence on diet, nutrition, physical activity and cancer. The approach involves conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of both epidemiological and mechanistic studies to make judgements on causal relationships. It emphasizes reproducibility, predefined criteria, and reviews evidence separately from making judgements. The goal is to help identify causal links between exposures and cancer outcomes.
This document provides various fundraising ideas that individuals and organizations can do to support the World Cancer Research Fund, including hosting events like quiz nights, dress down days at work, banana runs in the park, and golf tournaments. It also suggests challenges people can take on like skydiving, cycling long distances, and running marathons. The final sentences discuss additional ways to fundraise like recycling ink cartridges, payroll donations, selling pin badges, and donating birthdays or proceeds from online shopping.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

10. 10 CUP SUMMARY REPORT JULY 2016
Aflatoxins INCREASE
the risk of cancer of the:
n LIVER
Aflatoxins (toxins produced by certain
fungi) are produced by inappropriate
storage of food, and are generally an issue
related to foods from warmer regions of
the world. Foods that may be affected by
aflatoxins include: cereals, spices, peanuts,
pistachios, Brazil nuts, chillies, black
pepper, dried fruit and figs.
AFLATOXINS
A high glycaemic load
INCREASES the risk of
cancer of the:

Glycaemic load is a measure of how
much a person’s blood sugar is raised
by their diet.
GLYCAEMIC LOAD
11. 11CUP SUMMARY REPORT JULY 2016
Being tall INCREASES
the risk of cancer of the:
n BOWEL (colorectum)
n BREAST (both pre-
and post-menopause)
n KIDNEY
n OVARY

n PROSTATE
Developmental factors in the womb, and
during childhood and adolescence, that
influence growth are linked to an increased
risk of these cancers (the taller an adult is,
the greater the risk).
More research is needed before we can
make any recommendations on this finding.
HEIGHT
Greater birth weight

Our Cancer Prevention Recommendations
Be a healthy weight
Keep your weight as low as you can within the healthy range.
Move more
Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day, and
sit less.
Avoid high-calorie foods and sugary drinks
Limit high-calorie foods (particularly processed foods high
in fat or added sugar, or low in fibre) and avoid sugary drinks.
Enjoy more grains, veg, fruit and beans
Eat a wide variety of wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and pulses
such as beans.
Limit red meat and avoid processed meat
Eat no more than 500g (cooked weight) a week of red meat, such
as beef, pork and lamb. Eat little, if any, processed meat such as
ham and bacon.
For cancer prevention, don’t drink alcohol
For cancer prevention, it’s best not to drink alcohol. If you do,
limit alcoholic drinks and follow national guidelines.
Eat less salt and avoid mouldy grains cereals
Limit your salt intake to less than 6g (2.4g sodium) a day by adding
less salt and eating less food processed with salt.
Avoid mouldy grains and cereals as they may be contaminated
by aflatoxins.
For cancer prevention, don’t rely on supplements
Eat a healthy diet rather than relying on supplements to protect
against cancer.
If you can, breastfeed your baby
If you can, breastfeed your baby for six months before adding other
liquids and foods.
Cancer survivors should follow our Recommendations
(where possible)
After cancer treatment, the best advice is to follow the Cancer
Prevention Recommendations. Check with your health professional.

What is the Continuous Update Project (CUP)?
The Continuous Update Project is our ongoing programme to analyse global research
on how diet, nutrition, physical activity and weight affect cancer risk and survival. Among
experts worldwide it is a trusted, authoritative scientific resource, which underpins
current guidelines and public health policy on cancer prevention around the world.
How is the Continuous Update Project used?
The findings from the Continuous Update Project are used to update our Cancer
Prevention Recommendations, ensuring that everyone – from policymakers and
scientists, to members of the public – has access to the most up-to-date information
on how to minimise the risk of developing the disease.
How is worldwide research analysed for the Continuous
Update Project?
As part of the Continuous Update Project, scientific research on cancer prevention
from around the world is collated and added to a database on an ongoing basis and
systematically reviewed by a team at Imperial College London.
An independent, world-renowned Expert Panel then evaluate and interpret the
evidence to make conclusions based on the body of scientific evidence. Their
conclusions form the basis for reviewing, and where necessary revising, our
Cancer Prevention Recommendations.
How are the Continuous Update Project findings used
to update the Cancer Prevention Recommendations?
Once all the worldwide research on each cancer has been analysed, a review of the
Cancer Prevention Recommendations will take place to take account of all of the latest
evidence reviewed for our CUP reports. This review is expected to be published in 2017.
So far, new CUP reports have been published on the updated evidence for bladder,
breast, colorectal (bowel), endometrial (womb), gallbladder, kidney, liver, oesophageal,
ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and stomach cancers; as well as for breast cancer survivors.
22. 22 CUP SUMMARY REPORT JULY 2016
When did the Continuous Update Project (CUP) begin?
The Continuous Update Project develops the work of our groundbreaking First and
Second Expert Reports – published in 1997 and 2007 respectively – which were the
first ever comprehensive analyses of worldwide research on diet, nutrition, physical
activity and cancer. Unlike these Expert Reports, however, the CUP is an ongoing review
and captures new research from around the world as it is published.
Continuous Update Project database
The Continuous Update Project database is being kept up-to-date with all relevant
papers from randomised controlled trials and cohort studies published for 17 cancers
and breast cancer survivors. The database now contains 9,037 publications on these
cancers, including publications from the Second Expert Report. The CUP database is
currently available to researchers on request.
