#GoldenSeptember 🎗(#ChildhoodCancer month) is over, but our fight against this devastating disease continues. See how we are reversing the arrow of time to trace the origins of this cancer back to birth! #epigenetics

🆕study published in Molecular Cancer reveals #epigenetic markers detectable at birth linked to #ChildhoodLeukemia!
🧬Led by IARC, this breakthrough offers hope for early diagnosis & targeted treatments-see how we’re tracing cancer origins back to birth!

Today serves as a powerful reminder: tobacco use continues to be a leading cause of death & its impact begins far earlier than we think.
Our funded project by INCa aims to trace how various forms of tobacco, including #waterpipe, leave lasting biological marks since #fetal life.

🚭#WorldNoTobaccoDay🌍
We're adding a🆕project, DIALCT, to the fight against #tobacco!
IARC & partners are coming together to explore how CG & waterpipe smoking can affect DNA.
Stay tuned as we uncover epigenetic impacts of tobacco use & why quitting matters more than ever! #WNTD

Inspirational #OPICO meeting & world experts, brought together under the leadership of a great colleague @mahdi_iarc, to address a very timely topic: #opiods & #cancer

[Mahdi Sheikh @mahdi_iarc]

It was wonderful hosting 25+ scientists at @IARC_WHO last week to launch the Opioid Cohort Consortium #OPICO that aims to study the link between opioids & #cancer risk, leveraging data from ~2M ppl across 25 sources in US, Europe, Asia & Australia.

Our new study @SpringerNature @MolecularCancer reveals epigenetic markers at birth linked to pediatric leukemia! This breakthrough offers hope for early diagnosis & targeted therapy. See how we’re tracing cancer origins back to birth! #PediatricCancer https://t.co/bvAwlkN72V

#Hookah /#Waterpipe is not just another form of #tobacco as #cigarette. It impacts our #DNA differently. The water does not “detoxify” smoke–this is a misconception! But the #epigenetic memory of #addiction can be reversed, for better prevention & therapy!

ما من إستقلال و أرضنا مستباحة ، ما من إستقلال و دم أبناؤنا مهدور كل يوم ، ما من إستقلال و أجندات الكون تنفذ على أرضنا ،
ألوف الفرح الذين إستشهدوا عبر التاريخ في لبنان سوف يزهرون ربيع الإستقلال … الأتي لا محالة
