Researchers from University of Washington have pointed out that severe inflammation may lead to colon cancer.
Bacteria contribute to the development of certain cancers, in some measure, by stimulating chronic inflammation. Absence of a molecule that inhibits inflammation, Smad3, may therefore increase susceptibility to colon cancer.
Freeze-dried fruits: Berry Berry Good!
Don’t get misled by the looks of freeze-dried fruits. Though they appear to be small, studies have shown that the antioxidant phytochemicals that is present in fresh state is

During the study, Maggio-Price assessed the mice deficient in Smad3 that lack of adaptive immune responses.
They found that these mice are acutely sensitive to bacterially-induced inflammation and cancer due to both deficient T regulatory cell function and increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines.
Aspirin may Help to Prevent Colon Cancer in High-risk Individuals
A new study has found how medical science could employ aspirin and new aspirin-like drugs for use in preventing colon cancer in certain high-risk individuals.

"That the inflammatory response to microorganisms is a key event in these results reveals important 'tumor-suppressive' functions for Smad3 in T effector cells, T regulatory cells, and intestinal epithelial cells, all of which may normally limit the development of colon cancer in response to bacterial inflammation," said the researchers.

Uterine Cancer May be Clue to Inherited Syndrome
A new study suggests that women with endometrial cancer should be screened for inherited mutations that could lead to a high risk of several other cancers.
