Cancer begins with uncontrolled cell growth damaging organs. Six cancers, including lung, breast, and colorectal, lead global ...

A new study of liver cancer shows three ways to reduce the risk in the majority of cases. We learn more about what they are and what else the study found. The third leading cause of cancer death is ...

A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of ...
