LONDON--()--New studies and developments in cancer research are rapidly changing how cancer is treated and prevented, as well how it is discussed both inside and outside of the healthcare industry. According to Infiniti Research the market for cancer treatment and prevention is expected to undergo major evolutions over the next few years as researchers continue to make breakthroughs regarding causal effects of lifestyle factors on cancer risks.

Market Developments

Researchers in Singapore, led by Dr. Vikneswaren Namasivayam from Singapore General Hospital, have found a link between colon cancer and cardiorespiratory fitness levels. The researchers found that the higher an individual’s fitness level, the less likely they were to have precancerous colon polyps, an indication that they have a reduced risk of developing colon cancer. Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to the overall ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to fuel the body and supply oxygen during sustained physical activity, and is influenced by an individual’s genetics, weight, and gender, as well as other factors.

In the study, researchers measured the cardiorespiratory fitness levels of 36 individuals between the ages of 45 and 70. 20 people total had precancerous colon polyps while the remaining 16 had no polyps. This study strengthens the link between colon cancer risk and an individual’s lifestyle, and sheds more light on how colon cancer can effectively be prevented and treated. Though more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between fitness and cancer, this study provides valuable insights that can propel other studies and innovations.
