Combined exercise and diet interventions show potential in improving ovarian cancer patients' outcomes

A recent study in the British Journal of Cancer evaluated the impact of combined exercise and dietary intervention on fatigue, body composition, and physical function in ovarian cancer patients. The PADOVA trial found that the intervention's effectiveness significantly depends on patient adherence.

Enzyme implicated in telomere repair offers new avenues for cancer therapy

A new study led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center researchers shows that an enzyme called PARP1 is involved in repair of telomeres, the lengths of DNA that protect the tips of chromosomes, and that impairing this process can lead to telomere shortening and genomic instability that can cause cancer.

Investigating the causal relationships of four sarcopenia-related traits with BMI and ovarian cancer risk

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. This study was aimed at exploring the causal relationships of four sarcopenia-related traits (appendicular lean mass, usual walking pace, right hand grip strength, and levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity) with body mass index (BMI) and ovarian cancer risk, by using univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.
