According to the researches on cancer, the World Health Organization and the United States Department of Agriculture have pointed out that, eating at least five kinds of vegetables and fruits every day can reduce the risk of cancer by 0%. Research shows that there are more than ten kinds of fruits which can effectively reduce the risk of suffering from cancer. These fruits include strawberry, orange, apple, honeydew, kiwi, watermelon, lemon, grapes, pineapple, etc. Some special ingredients contained in these fruits play an indispensable role in preventing colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, and so on.

Researchers have uncovered a new target that could stop the growth of glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer. In the July 8th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, a new study identifies an enzyme found in glioma stem cells that allows them to grow and seed tumors. Importantly, normal stem cells, including those in the brain, don’t appear to share that same dependency. “When thinking about therapeutics [targeting cancer stem cells], you have to be careful that you aren’t interfering with normal stem cells,” said Christine Eyler of the Cleveland Clinic. “Glioma stem cells are not derived from normal stem cells but they do share many features with them.
