| Obesity May Worsen Ovarian Cancer
The doctors included James Pavelka, MD, and Andrew Li, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. If their finding is correct, it could lengthen the list of possible links between obesity and cancer. Obesity has already been tied to cancers of the breast, colon, esophagus, kidney, and endometrium (inner uterus lining). Links to ovarian cancer haven't been certain, the researchers note. They studied the records of 216 women undergoing surgery and treatment for ovarian cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The patients were in their late-50s to mid-60s, on average. They included 146 women with advanced ovarian cancer (stage III or IV ovarian cancer). Ovarian cancer is hard to spot in its earliest, most treatable stages.

All of which is probably just a bit too stellar. it was never likely to equal the sum of its parts. In the event, it adds up to considerably less. Michael Caine is mega successful crime writer Andrew Wyke. Jude Law is the out-of-work actor Milo Tindle who is having an affair with his wife. Tindle turns up on Wyke's doorstep hoping to force him into agreeing to a divorce. But Tindle gets more than he bargained for when Wyke offers him a pay-off involving a staged burglary. Wyke turns the screw to near-deadly effect; Tindle's response is to do the same. And so it goes on. And on. To ever less impact. If you want to see a film which really does offer genuine, sexual, cat-and-mouse thrills while managing to be both chilling and gripping, dig out Hard Candy - a film which does brilliantly all that Sleuth tries and fails to do.
M. D. Anderson Researchers Identify Tumor-Suppressor Gene for Lung ...
The GPRC5A gene, which is under-expressed in human lung cancer cells, suppresses lung tumors in mouse models and could provide a key to attacking lung cancer in humans, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the Nov. 21 edition of The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The study found that mice with both of their GPRC5A genes suppressed developed normally until their second year of life, when 76% developed precancerous lesions called adenomas in their lungs and another 17% developed malignancies called adenocarcinomas. Only 10% of mice with both GPRC5A genes intact developed adenomas, and only 11% with one working version of the gene. None of the mice in the latter two groups developed lung cancer. "In humans, lung adenocarcinomas are the most common type of lung cancer and the major cause of death from this disease" says senior author Reuben Lotan, Ph.D., professor in M.

JAQUITTA'S JOURNEY: Read Her Blog
What's up! I'm coming up on my 4th week of NO CHEMO!! Yes...I'm so excited... I have a doctors appointment this week, and I will find out when my radiation begins. I think I'm going to work while I'm being treated. I'll see what the doctor says. Now, let's talk about what I've been up to. I went on a quick little trip with a friend of mine from college. Her nickname is Peanut. We were cheerleaders together at Savannah State -- I LOVE HER! She's so much fun and has so much energy. Peanut has such a wonderful spirit about her. So, anyway we went to Pearl River Resort in Choctaw, Mississippi. I'd never heard of it, but I had a great time. We went on a charter bus! I can't remember the last time I was on a bus. I had a great time though, I felt like I needed to do something to celebrate the end of chemo.

But you did know it all along. In "The New Atlantis," Peter A. Lawler wrote (almost flippantly): "After all, we want ageless bodies not for their own sake but to be happy; not to live forever as the restless selves we are now but to live long enough to become fully satisfied or fully whole." Flippant or not, isn't that the truth? We want to be happy and since it's the pursuit of happiness that gives us the most joy, we want to keep on pursuing it until we are satisfied. And so there comes a time in all our lives when we must share in the grief surrounding the family and loved ones of someone who dies. During the past ten days or so three celebrities died: Jan Murray, June Allyson and Red Buttons. In each case, they had lived well beyond the almost-promised 70 years with salutes to all their lives as having been well-lived.
Lillaskog: Little Sweden in the Mother Lode Innkeeper salvaged all the ...
Retired San Jose park ranger Bill Charlson has brought a little bit of Sweden to the Groveland area. After buying land scorched in a 1999 forest fire, salvaging the logs, milling them himself and using the lumber to build a 5,000-square-foot lodge, Charlson opened his Lillaskog bed and breakfast inn in March 2006. Along the way, he was sidetracked by a bout with cancer that nearly killed him. Lillaskog pronounced "Lillaskoog" in Swedish is about 14 miles southeast of Groveland, perched on a hillside overlooking the Tuolumne River Canyon, with the Rainbow Pool swimming area adjoining the property and the granite peaks of Hetch Hetchy Valley visible in the distance. Charlson constructed the lodge from the ground up, with assistance throughout from Pete Kolterer, who was the general contractor on the project and is now the resident property manager.
Major Phase 3 Trial Shows Zevalin® Extends Progression-Free Survival ...
The major multinational, randomized Phase 3 First-Line Indolent Trial (FIT), with Zevalin ([90Y]-ibritumomab tiuxetan), has met its primary endpoint. The trial demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) treated with Zevalin as first-line consolidation therapy.
In the trial, patients received either Zevalin or no further treatment after at least a partial response to initial induction treatment. Patients in the Zevalin study arm experienced longer PFS compared to those patients in the observation arm.
"Despite improvements in recent years, follicular lymphoma is still challenging to treat and many patients experience a relapse following treatment. An important goal of consolidation therapy is to ensure that, for patients who respond to initial induction therapy, the quality of their response is improved and therefore, their remission period is long-lasting", said Dr.
