RUN OFF CANCER RISK

- Mark Witten

News FROM THE WORLD OF MEDICINE

Exercise has been known to reduce the risk of developing many forms of cancer. Now, a British study has identified one reason why. Physical activity, it turns out, causes a cancer-fighting protein called interleukin-6 IL-6) to be released into the bloodstream, where it can repair cells and slow tumor growth. Study participants at higher risk of colon cancer had larger amounts of IL-6 in their blood after cycling for 30 minutes than they did while resting. The conclusion: Regular exercise—such as walking, cycling or playing sports—can lower colon-cancer risk by about 20%, a finding researchers believe applies to other cancers as well.

Crowds who show up to see the Peru Amateur Circus in Peru, Indiana, known as America's circus city, are greeted by merrymakers with silly jokes and swirly rainbow suckers. The smell of buttery popcorn fills the air; roaring trumpets fill the ears. Flossy cotton candy melts on the tongue. The circus is about to begin!
