J Acad Nutr Diet
August 2023
Background: High unprocessed and minimally processed food (UMP) intake has been associated with high-quality diets, whereas the opposite has been shown for ultraprocessed food (UPF). Nevertheless, the association between UMP and UPF consumption and diet quality over the long-term warrants further examination.
Objective: This study aimed to assess whether UMP and UPF intake are associated with three diet-quality metrics in female and male health professionals from two US cohorts over 3 decades of follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between the time from symptom onset to diagnosis and the survival outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, operating under the hypothesis that this relationship is nonlinear.
- Conducted in five regions of Spain from 2010 to 2012, the multicenter study included 795 symptomatic CRC patients, whose clinical records were reviewed for diagnostic delays and survival metrics.
- Results showed no significant association between diagnostic delay and survival after adjusting for various factors, suggesting that tumor biology is likely a more crucial determinant of patient outcomes than the timing of diagnosis.
We describe the characteristics of cases of breast cancer among women assisted at hospitals affiliated to the public health system in the state of São Paulo (Brazil), analysing the effects of level of education and travel burden to point of treatment. We conducted a retrospective analysis of invasive breast cancer among women diagnosed between 2000 and 2015.

Introduction: Innovation through the repurposing of generic drugs encloses several advantages when compared with the process of developing new drugs from scratch. Metformin is an established and inexpensive antidiabetic drug for which anticancer properties have been hypothesised. A systematic review of observational studies found promising results for metformin related to breast cancer in women with diabetes.
