How Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Implemented Washington's Death With
Dignity Act
By the end of 2011, most of the 255 Washington residents who received
a prescription for lethal medication to end their lives under the
state's Death with Dignity Act had been diagnosed with terminal
cancer. Of those, 40 were patients at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance,
part of the Pacific Northwest's only National Cancer Institute-
designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Endometriosis treatments lower ovarian cancer risk
A novel study shows women who undergo surgical treatment for
endometriosis have a lower risk of developing ovarian cancer.
According to results published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica
Scandinavica, a journal of the Nordic Federation of Societies of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, hormonal treatments for endometriosis did
not lower ovarian cancer risk.

Naturally-Occurring Substance Proves Effective Against Deadly Skin
Cancer in Test Tube and Mice Studies
For the first time, scientists have demonstrated the mechanism of
action of gossypin, a naturally-occurring substance found in fruits
and vegetables, as a treatment for melanoma, which causes the majority
of deaths from skin cancer.

Researchers Engineer 'Protein Switch' to Dissect Role of Cancer's Key
Players
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School
of Medicine have "rationally rewired" some of the cell's smallest
components to create proteins that can be switched on or off by
command. These "protein switches" can be used to interrogate the inner
workings of each cell, helping scientists uncover the molecular
mechanisms of human health and disease.

Some Skin Cancer Survivors Still Use Tanning Beds
Say it isn$B!G(Bt so. A recent survey found that even people who have
survived melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — fail to
protect themselves from the sun, and even continue to tan.
