Comments on: No, red wine doesn’t prevent breast cancer http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2008/07/08/no-red-wine-doesn%e2%80%99t-prevent-breast-cancer/ The latest news, views and opinions from Cancer Research UK Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:29:57 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Richard http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2008/07/08/no-red-wine-doesn%e2%80%99t-prevent-breast-cancer/#comment-327 Richard Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:52:05 +0000 http://cancerresearchuk.wordpress.com/?p=199#comment-327 The large scale study referred to on the association between alcohol and breast cancer does not distinguish between red and white wine and so this study should not be used by itself to specifically comment on red wine. A recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology (vol. 165 pp 667-676) that did specifically compare red and white wine found that moderate consumption (1 glass per day) of red wine was not associated with an increase in risk whereas white wine was. This study did confirm other reports that higher levels of alcohol consumption are positively associated with breast cancer. What is now needed is a meta analysis specifically on red wine consumption and breast cancer taking in to account factors such as the amount consumed and patterns of consumption (eg with or without a meal and frequent versus binge drinking) since there are indications that these factors may be important. Any recommendations should also take in to account the well-established benefits of moderate red wine consumption on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

I talked about the recent advances in immunotherapy in <a href="http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2008/06/20/immunotherapy-%e2%80%9cbreakthrough%e2%80%9d-makes-big-news/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>. It's certainly an interesting field, and Cancer Research UK is putting a lot of resources into developing immunotherapy techniques. But at the moment, our ability to harness the power of the immune system to treat cancer is still very much in its infancy. But I'm sure that there will be more exciting results in the future.
