Original: cancer
Scientists report that roughly one in eight new cancer cases is likely caused by infections, such as viruses and bacteria. The message drawing attention is that many of these cases may be preventable, with straightforward protective measures like vaccination and screening available. The finding is being discussed widely in the US, Canada and Australia as a reminder that infection-related cancer risk can be reduced through simple, accessible health steps.
Why now: New coverage of research showing infections cause a large share of cancers, with an easy prevention message, is driving interest.
