BUFFALO, NY - May 14, 2025 – A new #review paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 9, 2025, titled “Relationship between ABO blood group antigens and Rh factor with breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis." A comprehensive study, led by first authors Rahaf Alchazal from Yarmouk University and Khaled J. Zaitoun from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Jordan University of Science and Technology, examined the potential link between blood type and breast cancer. The research team conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 29 previously published studies, involving more than 13,000 breast cancer patients and over 717,000 controls. “Researchers searched for studies on breast cancer patients and ABO blood groups across four major databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google.“ Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Identifying risk factors is vital for early detection and prevention. While many studies have explored lifestyle and genetic causes, this analysis focused on the ABO blood group system. By pooling global data, the researchers found that blood type A was the most common among breast cancer patients and was significantly associated with an 18% increased risk compared to type O. The study did not find a significant association between breast cancer and blood types B, AB, or Rh factor. Although the results do not prove causation, they point to a biological pattern worth further investigation. Blood group antigens are proteins found on the surface of cells, including breast tissue. These molecules may influence how cancer develops and spreads by interacting with the immune system or affecting cell behavior. This meta-analysis is the most extensive review to date on this topic, based on studies conducted across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. While previous research found unclear conclusions, this large-scale evaluation provides stronger evidence for a possible connection between blood type A and breast cancer risk. Researchers note that regional differences, genetic diversity, and study quality may affect individual results. Nevertheless, the overall trend supports considering blood type A as a potential risk marker. This insight could help shape screening guidelines, encouraging earlier or more frequent checkups for women with this blood type. Further research is needed to understand why blood type A may play a role in cancer development. Future studies may explore genetic mechanisms, immune responses, and other biological pathways. These efforts could lead the way for more personalized cancer prevention and care strategies. DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28718 Correspondence to - Khaled J.

Meet Clementine Paddleford, the forgotten food journalist who elevated food writing from dull and mundane to a delicious art form. The way we write about food today is largely due to Clementine, the roving reporter who taught herself to fly a plane so she could report on every aspect of food across the country and around the world. Afterwards, hear Jo’s conversation with Yasmin Khan, the best-selling food writer whose books on middle eastern cooking, The Saffron Tales and Zaitoun, expertly carry on Clementine’s legacy.     Main Sources: Hometown Appetites: The Story of Clementine Paddleford, the Forgotten Food Writer who Chronicled How America Ate, by Kelly Alexander and Cynthia Harris How to Cook for a Whole Crew by Clementine Paddleford, from the NY Herald Tribune, July 1960 Vast Drive And Courage Spark Career of Famed Food Editor – By Susan Delight, for the San Diego Union, February 1959 A Life in the Culinary Front Lines, by R.W.

We dive deep into the diversity of Nigerian food and cooking techniques with Philadelphia chef Shola Olunyolo. We are introduced to frozen burrito royalty in California, the Ruiz family.

Award-winning cookbook author and former human rights campaigner Yasmin Khan sits down with Julia to talk about her new book, Zaitoun, and the logistics of a career transition, the importance of rest, the way food can be an entry point to conversation, and why we have to hold onto hope. Yasmin's first book, The Saffron Tales, includes recipes and stories from the Persian Kitchen. It’s a very personal book as Yasmin grew up between Iran, where her mother is from, and England. The Saffron Tales won tons of awards and opened the door for her newest book, Zaitoun, which came out in the UK a few months ago and just was published in the US. Zaitoun is all about Palestinean cooking. In only a week since publication, it’s been celebrated in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post and more. There are also answers to listeners' questions (including an answer from the wonderful baker Cheryl Day) and shoutouts to Jewish Voice for Peace and Be the Match (#TeamElise).

Chef, author and former human rights campaigner Yasmin Khan seems to have a mission statement very like our own at Roads & Kingdoms. That is, pay attention to what’s on the plate in a way that might spark some change and bring people together (and have a damned good time doing so). There aren’t many books that try to do all of that as gorgeously as Zaitoun, Yasmin’s new book about Palestinian cuisine. We met a while back at the Roads & Kingdoms office in Brooklyn as Yasmin somehow hacked a pretty decent Old Monk hot toddy from our office kitchen. Her book Zaitoun is out this week in the United States, and we’re a better country for it.

Yasmin Khan believes we have more that unites us than divides us—and that nothing unites us more than food. The travel writer and former human rights activist has brought that philosophy to life in her two thought-provoking cookbooks—Saffron Tales: Recipes from the Persian Kitchen, and her latest release, Zaitoun: Recipes from the Palestinian Kitchen. She explores the cuisines of each region to bring her readers a better understanding of the people and the places. Yasmin talks about her experience working on Zaitoun, the lack of female voices in travel journalism, and the void left by Anthony Bourdain.

"Food is a bit like music, theater, or good literature — it connects you to your heart. It drops into empathy." -Yasmin Khan Yasmin Khan is the best-selling author of "The Saffron Tales," and her newest book "Zaitoun," will be released the day after this episode publishes, on July 12! (Go get it, it's incredible). She has a background of campaigning for human rights and transitioned into food writing and sharing stories from cultures around the world 5 years ago. In this episode, we talk about how and why she made that transition, as well as some of the specific stories from her travels through Israel, the West Bank and Gaza for "Zaitoun." We also talk about the core belief that anything is possible, taking responsibility for the life we have, the good and the bad, the light and the dark. How food is the easiest way to access the fact that humans have more to unite us than to divide us, and what it really is to be authentic. --yasmin khan-- @yasmin_khan - twitter @yasminkhanstories - instagram yasminkhanstories.com --keep it quirky-- @keepitquirkypodcast - instagram @qkatie - katie quinn on instagram & twitter www.youtube.com/TheQKatie www.facebook.com/TheQKatie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
