Human papillomaviruses (HPV)
2007-09-20 11:37:00
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 100 types of viruses (see Question 1). Most HPV infections go away on their own (see Questions 1, 4, and 5) HPVs are the major cause of cervical cancer. HPVs may also play a role in cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and penis, and some cancers of the oropharynx (see Question 3).Although there is no cure for HPV infection, the warts and lesions these viruses cause can be treated (see Question 10). Researchers at the National Cancer Institute and elsewhere are conducting research on HPV-related cancers (see Question 11).Related Information.

Tooth Loss Linked to Heart Disease Risk
2007-09-10 19:01:00
A new study suggests that young adults who lose their teeth to cavities or gum disease may have a greater risk of dying from heart disease later in life. A long-term study of more than 12,000 UK adults found that those with 9 or more missing teeth in young adulthood were one-third more likely to die of heart disease than their peers with fewer than 5 missing teeth. Scientists speculate that bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease may enter the blood stream, and damage blood vessels or trigger inflammation in the body.

Herbal tea can lower the risk of developing breast cancer.
2007-09-05 05:14:00
Drinking herbal tea can lower the risk of developing breast cancer. Research based on 4,400 women who were monitored for more than six years shows that those who drank herbal tea more than halved the risk of developing the disease. The women were all cancer-free at the start of the study, but by the end nearly 100 breast cancers had been diagnosed. When their diets were analysed, it was found that those who had been drinking herbal teas, which are rich in antioxidants, had a 57 per cent lower risk than non-drinkers. 'The results suggest consumption of herbal tea may have a role in the prevention of breast cancer,' say the researchers for the French institute, Supplémentation en Vitamines et Minéraux Antioxydants. The study also showed that drinking ordinary tea, coffee, fruit juice or wine is not linked with risk for developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Britain— one in nine women will develop the disease at some point in their lives.LINK [...
