Description
Daixin Wu and nine co-authors test whether a planet-friendly diet score can be tuned to flag the risk of gut cancers. Diet shapes risk, but broad scores are blunt tools for one cancer site. Their 2025 study drew on more than one hundred thousand UK Biobank members and tracked seven gut cancers.
The team widened the base diet score, then built a cancer-by-cancer score for each site. The tuned score sorted risk better than the old one for four cancers: food pipe, liver, rectal, and pancreas. Low scores linked to higher risk at those sites. Risk patterns shifted by sex and smoking, and the score mattered most for rectal cancer in people with high gene risk. The authors see room for diet advice shaped to the person.
