  • Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), so-called forever chemicals, in drinking water had "suggestive associations" with increased risk of childhood cancers. (University of California Irvine) Progression-free survival improved significantly in hormone receptor-positive,

The article from MSN discusses several health-related topics. Firstly, it explores the potential anti-cancer properties of melatonin, highlighting a study that suggests melatonin could inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells, particularly in breast and prostate cancers, by influencing various biological pathways. Secondly, it addresses the link between prenatal exposure to PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and an increased risk of cancer in offspring, noting that these "forever chemicals" might disrupt hormonal balances and cellular functions, potentially leading to oncogenic effects. Lastly, the article mentions the development of an anti-viral gel aimed at treating HPV (Human Papillomavirus), which could reduce the risk of cervical cancer by preventing the virus from integrating into the host's DNA. Each segment underscores ongoing research into preventing or treating cancer through different biological and chemical interventions.
