In this study, we evaluated the association between cervical immune mediators, including chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors with HPV infections.
Materials And Methods: We used a nonmagnetic bead-based multiplex assay to determine 27 immune mediators in cervical secretions collected from 275 women in a prospective longitudinal cohort design.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the relationship between overweight and obesity and cancer rates in Nigeria, using data from two cancer registries in Abuja and Enugu.
- Analyzing 4,336 new cancer cases between 2012 and 2014, they found that 21% of these cases were linked to overweight and obesity, with a higher incidence in women (40.7 per 100,000) than men (8.2 per 100,000).
- Despite a low overall percentage (1.4%) of cancers attributed to these factors, the research indicates that maintaining a healthy body weight could potentially prevent some cancer cases, especially as future trends may lead to an increased burden.
