Predictive modeling addresses healthcare disparities, identifies at-risk patients who may need stomach cancer screening
Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland Clinic developed a predictive model to identify patients at risk of developing gastric (stomach) cancer who may benefit from stomach cancer screening. The model is designed to identify who might need regular upper endoscopies to screen for stomach cancer. Although U.S. patients get routinely screened for other diseases, endoscopies – where a patient needs anesthesia – are more invasive.

Research Reveals How Fructose in Diet Enhances Tumor Growth
Washington University in St. Louis

Dietary fructose promotes tumor growth in animal models of melanoma, breast cancer and cervical cancer. However, fructose does not directly fuel tumors, according to the study published Dec. 4 in the journal Nature. Instead, WashU scientists discovered that the liver converts fructose into usable nutrients for cancer cells, a compelling finding that could open up new avenues for care and treatment of many different types of cancer.
