Urine profile linked to future cancer risk in healthy adults

Five-year cancer risk ranged from 0.18% in the lowest urine-score group to 32% in the highest.Five-year cancer risk ranged from 0.18% in the lowest urine-score group to 32% in the highest.

ESC Congress 2026 Abstract

Blood sugar marker tied to cancer in heart failure and type 2 diabetes

Compared with blood sugar marker levels of 5.0–6.9%, levels below 5.0% had an adjusted cancer hazard ratio of 1.28, a measure of relative risk.Compared with blood sugar marker levels of 5.0–6.9%, levels below 5.0% had an adjusted cancer hazard ratio of 1.28, a measure of relative risk.

Blood cells with sparse or dense sugar attachments sit beside larger cancer cell clusters than blood cells with moderate attachments.

Two negative oral cancer screens could allow 10-year gaps

Over 11 years, oral cancer developed in 4.13% of people positive on both screens versus 0.13% of those negative on both.Over 11 years, oral cancer developed in 4.13% of people positive on both screens versus 0.13% of those negative on both.

Most people with cancer live with multiple long-term conditions

In 33,258 newly diagnosed adults and 16,807 five-year survivors, non-cancer multimorbidity affected 60% to 86% at diagnosis and 70% to 90% in survivorship.In 33,258 newly diagnosed adults and 16,807 five-year survivors, non-cancer multimorbidity affected 60% to 86% at diagnosis and 70% to 90% in survivorship.

High allostatic load associates with increased cancer risk

Participants in the highest quartile of allostatic load had over double the cancer risk compared to the lowest quartile, showing an odds ratio of 2.24.Participants in the highest quartile of allostatic load had over double the cancer risk compared to the lowest quartile, showing an odds ratio of 2.24.
