A father with an incurable brain tumour has called on the government to fulfil a pledge to spend £40m on research. Adam Chapman, 43, from Worcester, said he and his family had been living through a “nightmare” since his diagnosis last year and treatments were merely “delaying” the disease.

LONDON (Reuters) -There is no link between mobile phone use and an increased risk of brain cancer, according to a new World Health Organization-commissioned review of available published evidence worldwide.

No link between mobile phones and brain cancer, WHO-backed study says

Scripps Research scientists have identified new proteins that may be targeted by upcoming cancer drugs, using a dual protein-mapping approach. Effectively combating cancer often entails halting the multiplication of cancer cells, which depends on understanding the proteins these cells need to survive. Protein profiling is crucial in this effort, as it enables researchers to pinpoint the proteins—and their specific components—that should be targeted by future drugs. However, previous methods, when used alone, have lacked the precision necessary to identify all possible protein targets, resulting in some being overlooked.

A systematic review into the potential health effects from radio wave exposure has shown mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer. The review was commissioned by the World Health Organization and is published today in the journal Environment International.

Mobile phones are often held against the head during use. And they emit radio waves, a type of non-ionising radiation. These two factors are largely why the idea mobile phones might cause brain cancer emerged in the first place.

The possibility that mobile phones might cause cancer has been a long-standing concern. Mobile phones – and wireless tech more broadly – are...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the brain and spinal cord limiting movement, vision, and others. Known as an autoimmune disorder, this chronic disease of the central nervous system slows or blocks signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The cause for this blocked signal is due to the deterioration of the myelin sheath around nerves, which helps move signals throughout the body. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, lack of coordination, difficulty walking, blurry vision, vertigo, slurred speech, cognitive problems, and others. Unfortunately, there is no cure for MS, but there are treatments to slow progression and manage symptoms. Scientists are still trying to understand the mechanism behind MS and develop treatments that will improve quality of life for patients.

 Researchers said they have found “conclusive evidence” that taking medicine for blood pressure (BP) in the evening is no better than taking it in the morning to protect against heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death – meaning it’s best to take them at a time that suits you.The findings, presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024, are based on data from five trials involving nearly 47,000 patients.Professor Ricky Turgeon from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said: “Patients should take their once-daily BP-lowering medications at whatever time best suits their preferences and circumstances.”About one in...

Medically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDHeart cancer develops when abnormal cells in the heart muscle or surrounding tissues grow uncontrollably, forming a malignant (cancerous) tumor. Cancerous heart tumors (known as cardiac sarcomas) are extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.028% of all cancer diagnoses annually.  Secondary heart cancer is when cancer cells metastasize (spread) to the heart from a tumor that started in nearby organs or body tissues. Secondary heart cancer is about 30 to 50 times more common than primary heart cancer. However, it is still rare, affecting approximately 10% of people with lung cancer,...
