Pennsylvania families worry about rising cases of rare cancer with fracking well pads near their homes and stalled House bills. YSPH Associate Professor Nicole Deziel shares her insights.
The process of fracking involves known carcinogens, and fracking has been linked to cancers in children and young adults, but it remains unclear whether fracking causes cancer. YSPH Associate Professor Nicole Deziel provides insight on the issue.
Dr. Xi Chen, an Assistant Professor of Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health, speaks to CGTN's Mike Walter about an expected sharp rise in cancer cases and China's efforts to address the problem.
A new method from the Yale School of Public Health offers a way to analyze how mutations interact with each other to alter tumor development. The innovation should make it easier to develop targeted therapies that anticipate the evolutionary path of a cancer, then corner and eradicate it.
A new study published in the Lancet journal eBioMedicine reports a link between PFAS exposure and increased risk of thyroid cancer. YSPH Associate Professor Nicole Deziel comments on the findings.
Researchers find that patients with cancer who are severely immunocompromised may benefit from a more frequent seasonal vaccine schedule.
New research led by scientists at Yale University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte finds that the rate at which additional COVID-19 boosters are needed for cancer patients depends on the treatment they are receiving.
Cancer results from a combination of spontaneous mutations that arise with age—just call it “bad luck”—and environmental exposures to carcinogens such as tobacco, ultraviolet light or viruses. But the question of the relative contribution of luck—compared with more explicit causes—has generated vigorous debate for years.
Nicole Deziel, M.H.S., Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences. Her research focuses on exposure to environmental toxins and the possible health consequences associated hydraulic fracturing.
Hospital workers are more likely to develop thyroid cancer, new research suggests.
Workers exposed to chemicals like deodorizers, sanitizers, disinfectants and sterilizers on the job may be more likely than other people to develop thyroid cancer, a recent study suggests.
An expansive new analysis by Yale School of Public Health researchers confirms that numerous carcinogens involved in the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing have the potential to contaminate air and water in nearby communities.
A recent study conducted by scientists at Yale Cancer Center demonstrates that spatial gene signatures can significantly enhance the prediction of immunotherapy outcomes in patients with melanoma.

Stephen, 61, traveled over 5,000 from Hawaii to Yale to have Dr. Jennifer Moliterno perform brain surgery. Dr. Moliterno performs more brain surgeries than any other physician in Connecticut, and patients like Stephen travel long distances due to her experience and efficiency.
In an interview, Rachel Perry, PhD, discusses the link between insulin and cancer, a surprising finding in her research, and the future of precision medicine for metabolism-related cancers.
A mouth rinse used to identify oral microbiome composition could serve as an early-detection tool for gastric cancer, new evidence suggests.
Amos S. Espinosa, a PhD Candidate in Experimental Pathology, was recently named a winner of the American Society of Hematology's Minority Hematology Graduate Award.
