Gum disease link to cancer
According to a new study from the U.K. which included data on nearly 50,000 men. Researchers say those with a history of gum disease had small, but significant increased risks for cancers of the lung, kidney, pancreas, and white blood cells. Experts say this needs to be confirmed with further research, but suggest gum disease might be either an indication of a weakened immune system or directly affect cancer risk.

Now a new study is shedding light on how antioxidants treatment impacts chemo and radiation. Researchers at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego analyzed several studies that looked at antioxidant use during cancer treatment.
