I recall reading a study describing cancerous/mutated cells very similarly. I don’t recall exactly but the study was in regards to diet (maybe specifically vitamins/minerals or antioxidants) that promoted detection (again I don’t recall but maybe by the immune system).
As I remeber the diet not only was supposed to improve detection but response and I think the improved response included the body releasing other cells (again I don’t remember but think fat cells, although that doesn’t sound right) to surround/isolate/starve the cancer cells, so in a best case the cancer cells would die and if they wouldn’t die then they would not be permitted to grow/replicate/freely travel.
Does this ring a bell to you vis-a-vis any diet?
- echelon 7y agoNothing has been proven, but it's hypothesized that chronic inflammation (and the foods that can cause it) are bad and can lead to the development of cancer. Here's a review article on the current understanding: https://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12967-018-1448-0 https://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10...
- perl4ever 7y agoI wonder if saying "chronic inflammation can lead to the development of cancer" is like saying "being dumb can lead to not being smart". Chronic inflammation is obviously immune system dysfunction, and cancer is also immune system dysfunction. Perhaps the same process could be described with either term at some point in time, but is that an explanation of anything?
