Vitamin C, k3 may be enlisted to cure leukemia
In Jurkat and K562 leukemia cell lines, vitamin C combined with vitamin K3 triggered apoptosis through an oxidative stress pathway involving NF-kB, p53, c-Jun and caspase-3. Cell death peaked at ratios of 1 to 1,000 and 1 to 100. Animal studies are still needed.

Take acetaminophen to prevent prostate cancer? Not so fast!
An American Cancer Society study tied taking more than 30 acetaminophen pills a month for five years or more to a 38 percent lower risk of prostate cancer, though it was observational. A separate study of 64,839 adults suggests heavy use may double blood-cancer risk.

Take acetaminophen to prevent prostate cancer? Not so fast!
An American Cancer Society study links taking more than 30 acetaminophen pills a month for five years or more to 38 percent lower prostate cancer risk, 51 percent for aggressive disease. The piece pairs it with work in 64,839 adults suggesting heavy use may double the risk of some blood cancers.

Green tea compound slows progression of leukemia
A Mayo Clinic phase II trial in 42 patients found EGCG, a green tea compound, showed moderate clinical activity in stabilising chronic lymphocytic leukemia. An earlier phase I trial cut blood leukemia cells by about 20% in 30% of patients and halved swollen nodes in about 70%.

Study proves benefit of green tea for leukemia sufferers
A Mayo Clinic study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found high doses of the green tea compound EGCG were tolerated by chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients, stabilized early-stage disease and were accompanied by a 50 percent reduction in lymph node size.
