There are increasing numbers of cancer prevention and control investigator trainees. On the basis of experience as research proposal reviewers and on reviews of a large number of current trainees, we offer some perspectives on the discipline and important aspects of optimal training programs. The historical importance of public health activities, the significant differences between prevention and treatment, and the breadth and public interest in prevention all have significant implications for trainees. In training, the need to focus efforts and to have active mentoring are critical. More attention to data analysis and complete development of a specific research proposal are also key elements of high-quality training. Although the need for cancer prevention and control investigators is great, more attention to the quality of their training is warranted.

Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in Lewy body diseases (LBDs) has been observed since the initial descriptions of patients by James Parkinson. Recent experimental and human observational studies raise the possibility that pathogenic alpha-synuclein (⍺-syn) might develop in the GI tract and subsequently spread to susceptible brain regions. The cellular and mechanistic origins of ⍺-syn propagation in disease are under intense investigation.

The spreading of COVID-19 has posed a risk to global health, especially for lung cancer patients. An investigation is needed to overcome the challenges of COVID-19 pathophysiology and lung cancer disease. This study was designed to evaluate the phytoconstituents in Punica granatum peel (PGP), its anti-lung cancer activity, and in silico evaluation for antiviral potential.
