In the battle against cancer, nothing is lost. We know that cancer cells have a trick to grow out of control: they know how to inhibit the natural process that would cause them to die at the right time. The good news is that scientists from Ohio State University (USA) have identified a compound in plant foods, apigenin, that can prevent tumor cells, especially those that cause breast cancer, behave as "immortal" . And, therefore, avoid the development of tumors.

Does cancer have accomplices? What do cancer cells eat? Are tumors spread? How can electricity help fight them? Is calorie restriction helpful in preventing cancer? Here are eight interesting facts you should know about cancer and its evolution.
Spanish researchers from the Rey Juan Carlos University have shown that high levels of sugars increase the activity of a protein called b-catenin, closely related to tumor progression. This explains why epidemiological data show that the frequency of certain types of cancer can be doubled in populations with high blood sugar levels such as obese or diabetics.
Women who smoke, even those who smoke moderately, have a higher risk of sudden cardiac death than non-smokers.
