A Life-Death Predictor Adds to a Cancer's Strain‎‎
Doctors try to give survival odds based on a tumor$B!G(Bs appearance and
size, but often that is just an educated guess.

Continued Progression in Cancer Diagnostics and Discussion
$B!H(BAs our population ages, cancer will increase in incidence and in
prevalence,$B!I(B says Dr. Richard Schilsky. As I continue my interview
with Dr. Schilsky, however, he appears to be promoting a more positive
outlook on cancer. Now there is a new view on cancer, as it is coming
to be seen more as a chronic illness rather than a life-ending
prognosis. However, it is important to understand that cancer is not
one disease..

Metastatic breast cancer: Bevacizumab slows progression, but has no
impact on survival‎
The cancer drug bevacizumab (Avastin$(D??(B) offers only a modest benefit in
delaying disease progression in patients with advanced stage breast
cancer, according to a systematic review by Cochrane researchers. The
researchers assessed the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with
chemotherapy, an established cancer treatment in this indication, and
found no overall survival benefit when adding bevacizumab to
chemotherapy.

Waiting for a Cancer Diagnosis‎‎‎‎
The period of time when you are waiting for a diagnosis is brutal.
There's really no other way to describe it. As a nurse-turned-patient,
I really had no idea just how difficult this waiting period really is.
Waiting for my diagnosis of FBC (f-bomb breast cancer) was
simultaneously heart-wrenching, nerve-wracking, confusing and
downright scar‎.

GSK pulls US bid to use Tykerb with Herceptin‎

disease.

Heavy people more likely to have colon polyps‎
Obese and overweight people are more likely to develop colon polyps, a
possible precursor to cancer, than are slimmer individuals, according
to a new review of past research.

Cervical Cancer: The Silent Killer of Women in the Developing World‎
Like millions of mothers around the world, Adjaratou Kinda worries
about her children's future. How will they fare in school? What career
path will they choose? Will they be healthy and happy? But tragically,
she must now also worry about how her five children will survive
without their mother. Mrs. Kinda is one of more than 470,000 women
diagnosed each year with cervical cancer, a prognosis that, in her
West African home of Burkina Faso, is tantamount to a death sentence.

Vivre avec le cancer comme une maladie chronique‎ ‎‎
