Shrimp is one of the most popular seafoods worldwide, and its lipids have been studied for biological activity in both, muscle and exoskeleton. Free fatty acids, triglycerides, carotenoids, and other lipids integrate this fraction, and some of these compounds have been reported with cancer chemopreventive activities. Carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids have been extensively studied for chemopreventive properties, in both in vivo and in vitro studies. Their mechanisms of action depend on the lipid chemical structure and include antioxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities, among others. The purpose of this review is to lay groundwork for future research about the properties of the lipid fraction of shrimp.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3ß inhibitor use and prostate cancer incidence in Manitoba, Canada: A population-based nested case-control study.
Cancer Epidemiol

Vaccine and Drug Evaluation Centre, Department of Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, S108-750 Bannatyne Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2, Canada; College of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba, 750 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T5, Canada.
Background: Little is known on the effect of glycogen synthase kinase-3ß inhibitors (GSK3Is), as a class, on prostate cancer (PC). We aimed to study this in the Canadian province of Manitoba, because mixed results have been reported on the effect of valproate.
Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study among cancer-free Manitobans with ≥ 5 years of medical history in which we matched all men 40 years or older diagnosed with PC between 2000 and 2018 (N = 11,189) on period, age, length of available drug information to cancer-free controls (N = 55,728).
Genomic and cellular responses to aspirin in colonic organoids from African- and European-Americans.

Aspirin (ASA) is a proven chemoprotective agent for colorectal cancer (CRC), though inter-individual responses and cellular mechanisms are not well characterized. Human organoids are ideal to study treatment responses across individuals. Here, colonic organoids from African-Americans (AA) and European-Americans (EA)were used to profile genomic and cellular ASA responses.

Preventive interventions are expected to substantially improve the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer, predominantly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma. HCC prevention is challenging in the face of the evolving etiological landscape, particularly the sharp increase in obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Next-generation anti-HCV and HBV drugs have substantially reduced, but not eliminated, the risk of HCC and have given way to new challenges in identifying at-risk patients.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men globally. Its growth is driven by oxidative stress associated with inflammation, aging, and environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle. These factors contribute to multiple stages of PCa progression, including progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

Betel nut chewing, common in several Asian populations, is linked to increased cancer risk, including oral, esophageal, gastric, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Aspirin shows potential as a chemopreventive agent. This study investigates the association between aspirin use and cancer risk among betel nut chewers.
