Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors as a Treatment Option for Bladder Cancer: Current Evidence.

Bladder cancer is a prevalent disease, and treatment options for advanced bladder cancer remain limited. However, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) have shown promise in treating bladder cancer. These drugs work by blocking receptors and ligands, disrupting signaling, and allowing T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells.

High-Fat Diet as a Risk Factor for Breast Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

High-fat diets have been identified as a major cause of obesity and a potential risk factor for breast cancer. Fat tissue, also known as adipose tissue, produces an excess of estrogen, which has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Determining the impact of HFDs in the development and progression of breast cancer is essential, as it will enable us to identify the role of dietary modification in preventing and managing the disease.
