john24+FollowBreast Cancer Treatment’s Unexpected Perk?Turns out, surviving breast cancer—especially with radiation therapy—might actually lower your risk of Alzheimer’s by about 8%! A huge study out of South Korea found that women who had breast cancer were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s than those who hadn’t. The effect was strongest in women over 65 and those who got radiation. It’s not a magic cure, but it’s a surprising twist since we usually hear about cancer treatments causing ‘chemobrain.’ Science keeps us guessing! #Alzheimers #BreastCancer #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth160Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowInfertility & Cancer: Not the Link You ThinkTurns out, female infertility isn’t strongly tied to most gynecological cancers, according to a big new study. The only possible connection? A tiny, not-quite-definitive link with breast cancer. Researchers dug deep using all sorts of genetic analysis, but didn’t find any clear cause-and-effect with ovarian, cervical, or endometrial cancers. TL;DR: If you’ve been worried about infertility raising your cancer risk, the science says it’s not a big deal—at least for now. More research is coming! #WomensHealth #Infertility #CancerResearch #BreastCancer #HealthNews #Health20Share
