With the change of season from summer to autumn, comes a time for “review” Lee and colleagues did a literature review about the effectiveness of moxibustion for cancer care. Chen et al. found that lifetime sun exposure was related to risk of squamous cell carcinoma in Asian women, but early age sun exposure was related to men’s risk.

Friedenreich and associates found that lifetime physical activity can protect against endometrial cancer, whereas sedentary behaviour can increase the risk.
