A recent study found that having two types of colon polyps can raise the risk of bowel cancer by up to five times. Researchers discovered that adenomas and serrated polyps can represent separate cancer pathways that can occur at the same time. This emphasizes the importance of early detection and regular colonoscopy monitoring.

In other news, a severe case of COVID-19 or influenza could increase the risk of lung cancer later on. Scientists found that serious viral infections can alter immune cells in the lungs, leaving behind chronic inflammation that may help tumors develop months or years later. Vaccination, however, appears to prevent the dangerous lung changes.
