Press Review (November 17, 2012) – Revue de presse (17 novembre 2012)




Cancer patients boost their self-esteem at hospitals that offer salon
services
With thinning brown hair and nearly invisible eyebrows, Margaret
Fisher sits her frail frame down in the salon chair. She received a
diagnosis of Stage IV pancreatic cancer almost two years ago and has
undergone 18 radiation treatments and six rounds of chemotherapy
since. A hairstylist places a wig on Fisher$B!G(Bs head and draws eyebrows
on her bare face. Fisher, 63, looks in the mirror and smiles.

Incredible Prices for Cancer Drugs 
An unusually bold stand by doctors at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York has forced a big drug company to reduce the
cost of an overpriced drug for treating colorectal cancer that was no
better than a cheaper competitor and did almost nothing to extend a
patient$B!G(Bs life. It is a heartening sign that alert and aggressive
physicians can potentially play a major role in helping to reduce the
escalating costs of health care for treatments of marginal value.

Where Cancer Prevention Must Start
While improvements have been made in the curriculum of American
medical schools over the past few decades, cancer prevention is one
essential area that is still neglected. The emphasis is on treatment,
rather than prevention.

Merck's New Type of Cancer Drug Shows Promise

immune system's power to fight malignancies.
