'Junk food' may increase cancer risk in 'healthy weight' women
Conclusion
Energy dense diets appear to be associated with a 10% increased risk of obesity-related cancer in those eating the top 205 high density food types.
A sub analysis of postmenopausal women of normal, overweight or obese weight at the start of the study showed a link specifically in those of a normal weight and a weaker link in those who were overweight or obese.
The authors suggest these findings mean weight management alone might not protect against obesity-related cancer if women have a high energy dense diet.
Although this was a longitudinal study involving a large sample of women, it has some limitations:

Time Between Surgeries Helps Predict Mesothelioma Survival
A new study from researchers at the City of Hope cancer center in Los Angeles and Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reveals how the length of time between initial and follow-up cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC plays a role in patient survival.
The study, published in June in the Journal of Surgical Oncology, shows peritoneal mesothelioma patients who repeat the procedure between one and two years after the initial surgery have the most favorable outcome, with a median overall survival of nearly four years.
Peritoneal mesothelioma is an aggressive, asbestos-related cancer, and recu...
