Follow-up of American Cancer Society Special Postdoctoral Research Fellowship recipients. (1/79)

A follow-up study of the 44 recipients of American Cancer Society, Inc., Special Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from 1962 to 1973 revealed that 11 of 21 M.D. candidates obtained their second (Ph.D.) degree at the end of training. By contrast, all but one among the 23 Ph.D. candidates were awarded the second (M.D.) degree. A great majority of either group remain in active research, regardless of whether or not they obtained the second degree. A very high percentage of their research is cancer related.  (+info)

Annual report to the nation on the status of cancer, 1973-1996, with a special section on lung cancer and tobacco smoking. (2/79)

BACKGROUND: The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), provide the second annual report to the nation on progress in cancer prevention and control, with a special section on lung cancer and tobacco smoking. METHODS: Age-adjusted rates (using the 1970 U.S. standard population) were based on cancer incidence data from NCI and underlying cause of death data compiled by NCHS. The prevalence of tobacco use was derived from CDC surveys. Reported P values are two-sided. RESULTS: From 1990 through 1996, cancer incidence (-0.9% per year; P = .16) and cancer death (-0.6% per year; P = .001) rates for all sites combined decreased. Among the 10 leading cancer incidence sites, statistically significant decreases in incidence rates were seen in males for leukemia and cancers of the lung, colon/rectum, urinary bladder, and oral cavity and pharynx. Except for lung cancer, incidence rates for these cancers also declined in females. Among the 10 leading cancer mortality sites, statistically significant decreases in cancer death rates were seen for cancers of the male lung, female breast, the prostate, male pancreas, and male brain and, for both sexes, cancers of the colon/rectum and stomach. Age-specific analyses of lung cancer revealed that rates in males first declined at younger ages and then for each older age group successively over time; rates in females appeared to be in the early stages of following the same pattern, with rates decreasing for women aged 40-59 years. CONCLUSIONS: The declines in cancer incidence and death rates, particularly for lung cancer, are encouraging. However, unless recent upward trends in smoking among adolescents can be reversed, the lung cancer rates that are currently declining in the United States may rise again.  (+info)

Great expectations: historical perspectives on genetic breast cancer testing. (3/79)

Women who test positive for a genetic breast cancer marker may have more than a 50% chance of developing the disease. Although past screening technologies have sought to identify actual breast cancers, as opposed to predisposition, the history of screening may help predict the societal response to genetic testing. For decades, educational messages have encouraged women to find breast cancers as early as possible. Such messages have fostered the popular assumption that immediately discovered and treated breast cancers are necessarily more curable. Research, however, has shown that screening improves the prognosis of some--but not all--breast cancers, and also that it may lead to unnecessary interventions. The dichotomy between the advertised value of early detection and its actual utility has caused particular controversy in the United States, where the cultural climate emphasizes the importance of obtaining all possible medical information and acting on it. Early detection has probably helped to lower overall breast cancer mortality. But it has proven hard to praise aggressive screening without exaggerating its merits. Women considering genetic breast cancer testing should weight the benefits and limitations of early knowledge.  (+info)

Intentional weight loss and mortality among overweight individuals with diabetes. (4/79)

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of intentional weight loss on mortality in overweight individuals with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed a prospective analysis with a 12-year mortality follow-up (1959-1972) of 4,970 overweight individuals with diabetes, 40-64 years of age, who were enrolled in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study I. Rate ratios (RRs) were calculated, comparing overall death rates, and death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes in individuals with and without reported intentional weight loss. RESULTS: Intentional weight loss was reported by 34% of the cohort. After adjustment for initial BMI, sociodemographic factors, health status, and physical activity, intentional weight loss was associated with a 25% reduction in total mortality (RR = 0.75; 95% CI 0.67-0.84), and a 28% reduction in CVD and diabetes mortality (RR = 0.72; 0.63-0.82). Intentional weight loss of 20-29 lb was associated with the largest reductions in mortality (approximately 33%). Weight loss >70 lb was associated with small increases in mortality CONCLUSIONS: Intentional weight loss was associated with substantial reductions in mortality in this observational study of overweight individuals with diabetes.  (+info)

Passive smoking exposure and female breast cancer mortality. (5/79)

BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported positive associations between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and increased risk of breast cancer. However, studies of active smoking and risk of breast cancer are equivocal and in general do not support a positive association. To try to resolve this paradox, we examined the association between breast cancer mortality and potential ETS exposure from spousal smoking in an American Cancer Society prospective study of U.S. adult women. METHODS: We assessed breast cancer death rates in a cohort of 146 488 never-smoking, single-marriage women who were cancer free at enrollment in 1982. Breast cancer death rates among women whose husbands smoked were compared with those among women married to men who had never smoked. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to control for potential risk factors other than ETS exposure. RESULTS: After 12 years of follow-up, 669 cases of fatal breast cancer were observed in the cohort. Overall, we saw no association between exposure to ETS and death from breast cancer (rate ratio [RR] = 1.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.8-1.2). We did, however, find a small, not statistically significant increased risk of breast cancer mortality among women who were married before age 20 years to smokers (RR = 1. 2; 95% CI = 0.8-1.8). CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to the results of previous studies, this study found no association between exposure to ETS and female breast cancer mortality. The results of our study are particularly compelling because of its prospective design as compared with most earlier studies, the relatively large number of exposed women with breast cancer deaths, and the reporting of exposure by the spouse rather than by proxy.  (+info)

Annual report to the nation on the status of cancer (1973 through 1998), featuring cancers with recent increasing trends. (6/79)

BACKGROUND: The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), collaborate to provide an annual update on cancer occurrence and trends in the United States. This year's report contains a special feature that focuses on cancers with recent increasing trends. METHODS: From 1992 through 1998, age-adjusted rates and annual percent changes are calculated for cancer incidence and underlying cause of death with the use of NCI incidence and NCHS mortality data. Joinpoint analysis, a model of joined line segments, is used to examine long-term trends for the four most common cancers and for those cancers with recent increasing trends in incidence or mortality. Statistically significant findings are based on a P value of.05 by use of a two-sided test. State-specific incidence and death rates for 1994 through 1998 are reported for major cancers. RESULTS: From 1992 through 1998, total cancer death rates declined in males and females, while cancer incidence rates declined only in males. Incidence rates in females increased slightly, largely because of breast cancer increases that occurred in some older age groups, possibly as a result of increased early detection. Female lung cancer mortality, a major cause of death in women, continued to increase but more slowly than in earlier years. In addition, the incidence or mortality rate increased in 10 other sites, accounting for about 13% of total cancer incidence and mortality in the United States. CONCLUSIONS: Overall cancer incidence and death rates continued to decline in the United States. Future progress will require sustained improvements in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment.  (+info)

The American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort: rationale, study design, and baseline characteristics. (7/79)

BACKGROUND: Large-scale, prospective cohort studies have played a critical role in discovering factors that contribute to variability in cancer risk in human populations. Epidemiologists and volunteers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) were among the first to establish such cohorts, beginning in the early 1950s and continuing through the present, and these ACS cohorts have made landmark contributions in many areas of epidemiologic research. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort was established in 1992 and was designed to investigate the relation between diet and other lifestyle factors and exposures and the risk of cancer, mortality, and survival. The cohort includes over 84,000 men and 97,000 women who completed a mailed questionnaire in 1992. New questionnaires are sent to surviving cohort members every other year to update exposure information and to ascertain new occurrences of cancer; a 90% response rate was achieved for follow-up questionnaires in 1997 and 1999. Reported cancers are verified through medical records, registry linkage, or death certificates. The cohort is followed actively for all cases of incident cancer and for all causes of death. Through a collaborative effort among ACS national and division staff, volunteers, and the American College of Surgeons, blood samples were collected from a subgroup of 40,000 cohort members and are in storage at a central repository for future investigation of dietary, hormonal, genetic, and other factors and cancer risk. Collection of DNA samples from buccal cells in an additional 50,000 cohort members is underway currently and will be completed in 2002. CONCLUSIONS: This new cohort of both men and women promises to be particularly valuable for the study of cancer occurrence, mortality, and survival as they relate to obesity and weight change, physical activity at various points in life, vitamin supplement use, exogenous hormone use, other medications (such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs) and cancer screening modalities.  (+info)

Alcohol, folate, methionine, and risk of incident breast cancer in the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort. (8/79)

Recent studies suggest that the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption may be reduced by adequate folate intake. We examined this question among 66,561 postmenopausal women in the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort. A total of 1,303 incident cases had accrued during the first 5 years of follow-up. Cox proportional hazards models and stratified analysis were used to examine the relationship between alcohol, dietary and total folate intake, multivitamin use, dietary methionine, and breast cancer. We observed an increasing risk of breast cancer with increasing alcohol consumption (P for trend = 0.01). In the highest category of consumption (15 or more grams of ethanol/day), the risk of breast cancer was 1.26 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.53) compared with nonusers. We observed this association with higher alcohol consumption for in situ, localized, and regional disease. We found no association between risk of breast cancer and dietary folate, total folate, multivitamin use, or methionine intake. Furthermore, we found no evidence of an interaction between levels of dietary folate (P for interaction = 0.10) or total folate (P for interaction = 0.61) and alcohol. Nor did we find evidence of an interaction between alcohol consumption and recent or long-term multivitamin use (P for interaction = 0.27). Our results are consistent with a positive association with alcohol but do not support an association with folate or methionine intake or an interaction between folate and alcohol intake on risk of breast cancer.  (+info)

In 2002, the ACS assembled expert groups to update guidelines for cervical cancer screening and breast cancer screening, and to evaluate new technology for colorectal cancer screening. In November 2002, updated guidelines for cervical cancer screening were published in this journal, and breast cancer screening guidelines will be updated in 2003. In this issue, there is a report of a workshop held to review emerging technology for colorectal cancer screening that resulted in a modification of current previous recommendations for fecal occult blood tests, and revised recommendations for the "cancer-related check-up" in which clinical encounters provide case-finding and health-counseling opportunities. Finally, we provide an update of the most recent data pertaining to participation rates in ...

A new study has found that long-duration regular use of aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen) may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Use of aspirin and other NSAIDs has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in epidemiological studies, and aspirin reduced risk of colorectal polyp recurrence in two randomized trials. There has also been some evidence from laboratory and epidemiological studies that NSAIDs might influence prostate carcinogenesis, although the association is unclear. To determine whether use of NSAIDs is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, Eric J. Jacobs, Ph.D., of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, and colleagues studied more than 70,000 men participating in the American Cancer Societys Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort. During the follow-up from 1992 to 1993 through August 2001, 4,853 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed among these men. Current use of ...

American Cancer Society Indicted by the Cancer Prevention Coalition for Losing The Winnable War Against Cancer  American Cancer Society Indicted by the Cancer Prevention Coalition for Losing The Winnable War Against Cancer
... CHICAGO, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ - The following was released today by the Cancer Prevention Coalition:. An article, "American Cancer Society: The Worlds Wealthiest Non-Profit Institution," by Dr. Samuel Epstein, just published in the International Journal of Health Services, the leading international public health and policy journal, charges that the American Cancer Society (ACS) "is fixated on damage control ... diagnosis and treatment ... and basic molecular biology, with indifference or even hostility to cancer prevention." ACS also trivializes the escalating incidence of cancer which has reached epidemic proportions and makes grossly misleading claims on dramatic progress in the treatment and cure of cancer. This myopic mindset and derelict policy is compounded by interlocking conflicts of interests with the cancer drug, agrichemical, and other industries. The following is ...

Special to The SUN. The Great West Division of the American Cancer Society has selected Carol Otis of Pagosa Springs as a 2012-2013 Hero of Hope.. As a Hero of Hope, Otis has demonstrated a commitment to the fight against cancer through her inspiration and contribution to the Archuleta County American Cancer Society Relay for Life event.. Otis was diagnosed with cancer at age 70, after a routine mammogram detected a malignant tumor. She underwent surgery and 16 consecutive sessions of radiation at Mercy Hospital in Durango. Otis was offered an alternative "Canadian Protocol" treatment, compared to six to eight weeks of radiation (which is typical in the U.S.) and considers it a gift.. "My experience was the most frightening one Ive had in my entire life. The isolation, fear and confusion was overwhelming.". Following diagnosis, Carol began actively fighting back against cancer through starting a local Pagosa Springs support group, serving on the Archuleta County Relay For Life planning ...

New Yorks slide continues and sadly, its not surprising," said Blair Horner, vice president for advocacy for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network of NY & NJ, in a statement. "Over the past few years, funding for the states tobacco prevention program has been cut by more than half. That means fewer smokers can get the help they need to quit and more kids are trying their first cigarette.. "New York reaps more than $2 billion in revenue from tobacco, but spends little to help smokers quit and keep kids from trying tobacco," he continued. "The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network urges Gov.

The American Cancer Societys guidelines should be followed. Mammograms miss some cancers but it is still the recommended screening modality.. Clinical Breast Exam: Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam preferably every 3 years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health expert every year. Its a good idea to do a breast self-exam (BSE) before the clinical exam to become familiar with what your breast feel like.. Breast Awareness and Breast Self-Exam (BSE): BSE is an option for women starting in their 20s. If you do BSE on a regular basis, you will become familiar with how your own breasts feel and with this awareness, you are more likely to find a lump or suspicious area in the breast. The American Cancer Society has special programs to teach you how to examine your breast properly and cards describing the process can help you as you begin to examine yourself ...

Resumo: An update to the American Cancer Society (ACS) guideline regarding screening for the early detection of cervical precancerous lesions and cancer is presented. The guidelines are based on a systematic evidence review, contributions from 6 working groups, and a recent symposium cosponsored by the ACS, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, and the American Society for Clinical Pathology, which was attended by 25 organizations. The new screening recommendations address age-appropriate screening strategies, including the use of cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, follow-up (eg, the management of screen positives and screening intervals for screen negatives) of women after screening, the age at which to exit screening, future considerations regarding HPV testing alone as a primary screening approach, and screening strategies for women vaccinated against HPV16 and HPV18 infections ...

The new ACS report describes numbers for cancer incidence, deaths, and survival through 2015 [1,2]. These latest figures permit comparison to corresponding measurements for many previous years, and allow predictions to be made for 2016. Several brief discussions about what these figures reveal now are available [e.g., 3-5].. The cancer death rate for men and women fell 23% in the 21 year period from 1991 to 2012 (the latest year for which complete data are available). This progress should be welcomed by everyone!

American Cancer Society Releases New Mammography Guidelines | Prevent Cancer Foundation-Stop Cancer Before It Starts!  American Cancer Society Releases New Mammography Guidelines | Prevent Cancer Foundation-Stop Cancer Before It Starts!
We commend the American Cancer Society (ACS) for recognizing that breast cancer often does not wait until age 50 to strike and women in their 40s do need annual mammograms. The Prevent Cancer Foundation will continue to recommend that women begin annual mammography screening at age 40 with no barriers to access or cost-sharing. It is critical that insurance plans cover these screenings for possible lifesaving early detection.. Research has validated that when breast cancer is detected early and treated before it spreads, the five-year survival rate is 99 percent. Since 1990, breast cancer mortality has decreased by 34 percent, due to early detection and improved treatment.. The Prevent Cancer Foundation continues to believe it is crucial for women to have yearly mammograms beginning at age 40. Annual screening after 40 will increase their odds of early detection and successful treatment outcomes.. ...

At this time there are no blood tests or other screening exams that can be used routinely to detect brain tumors before they start to cause symptoms. These tumors usually come to light as a result of signs or symptoms the person is having. In most cases, the patients survival is determined by their age, the type of tumor, and its location.. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.

Primal Wisdom: December 2009  Primal Wisdom: December 2009
Adequate scientific evidence to stop mass screening programs, such as mammography, has been readily available for more than three decades. In 1976 Pietro M. Gullino presented his findings on the natural history of cancer, showing early detection is really late detection, at the Conference on Breast Cancer: A Report to the Profession, sponsored by the White House, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society. He explained: If the time required for a tumor to double its diameter during a known period of time is taken as a measure of growth rate, one can calculate by extrapolation that two-thirds of the duration of a breast cancer remains undetectable by the patient or physician. Long before a breast carcinoma can be detected by present technology, metastatic spread may occur and does in most cases. This report was subsequently published in the journal representing the American Cancer Society (Cancer 1977 Jun;39(6 Suppl):2697-703 ...

Study Links Dairy Products to Moderate Breast Cancer Risk Reduction | EmaxHealth  Study Links Dairy Products to Moderate Breast Cancer Risk Reduction | EmaxHealth
Dairy products have been hypothesized to have paradoxical effects on breast cancer risk because they contain both potentially protective compounds, like calcium and vitamin D, and compounds that may increase the risk of cancer, such as hormones and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Studies to date have had inconsistent findings.. For the current study, researchers led by Marji McCullough, ScD, RD, senior epidemiologist in the American Cancer Societys Epidemiology & Surveillance Research department, reviewed dietary questionnaires filled out by more than 68,000 postmenopausal women participating in the Societys Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS-II). They found women who ate the most calcium-rich foods (e.g. low fat milk, cheese, and yogurt) were 20 percent less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those reporting the lowest intake. However, neither use of calcium supplements nor vitamin D intake lowered the risk.. "Our findings suggests that dairy products, composed mainly of ...

Source: National Cancer Institute, Facebook.. Behind breast cancer, there is no cancer diagnosis more common than prostate cancer. According to the American Cancer Societys Cancer Facts & Figures report from 2014, some 233,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, with the disease killing 29,480. Overall, prostate cancer is the fifth-leading overall cause of cancer-related death, and the second-leading cause of cancer death in men.. Of course, the mortality statistics of prostate cancer are just one of the challenging aspects of the disease. Prostate cancer is also a major financial burden on individuals and their families. A report from HealthDay via WebMD last year suggested that the price of prostate cancer surgery can range from as low as $10,100 to as much as $135,000. This cost doesnt factor in additional doctor visits, the possibility for cancer-focused therapy over the long term, and the economic costs of lost productivity while undergoing treatment.. But, there could be great news ...

Who Should Be Screened for Lung Cancer? :: By :: Article :: Super Doctors  Who Should Be Screened for Lung Cancer? :: By :: Article :: Super Doctors
American Cancer Society (cancer.org). November 9, 2015. By Stacy Simon. A harsh truth about lung cancer is that it doesnt usually cause symptoms until the cancer is already advanced and not able to be cured. Thats why the idea of screening - looking for lung cancer in people who do not have any symptoms - is appealing. It has the potential of finding the cancer earlier, when its easier to treat.. But screening carries risks that may outweigh the benefits for most people. The people who are most likely to benefit from screening are those at higher risk for lung cancer, such as people with a long history of smoking.. How lung screening works. A computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan uses x-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the lungs. Its better than a regular x-ray at finding lung tumors and showing them clearly. Thats why CT scans are used for lung cancer screening.. One drawback of a CT scan is that it finds a lot of abnormalities that turn out not to be cancer but that still ...

These gaps "need to be addressed in order to fulfill the intention of the Affordable Care Act," said Brian Rosen, a senior vice president of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. "There are certainly challenges for cancer patients.". "Cost may still be an issue for those in need of the most care," said Steven Weiss, spokesman for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. That "makes it critically important for patients looking at premiums to also consider out-of-pocket costs when choosing a plan.". Out-of-pocket costs include a health plans annual deductible, which is the amount before insurance starts paying, as well as any copayments and cost-sharing.. A few numbers tell the story. Take someone under 65 with no access to health insurance on the job and making $24,000 a year - about what many service jobs pay.. Under the health care law, that persons premiums would be capped below 7 percent of his income, about $130 a month. A stretch on a tight budget, yet doable.. But if he gets really ...

President Obama Issues Executive Order To Ease Shortages in Vital Medicines - disinformation  President Obama Issues Executive Order To Ease Shortages in Vital Medicines - disinformation
While many advocates say President Obamas executive order to reduce a dire shortage of life-saving hospital medications is an essential step, others say the order is not enough to stop price gouging by some pharmaceutical companies.. Essential cancer drugs have arguably taken the hardest hit. Hospitals have reported the worst shortage in nearly a decade of chemotherapy agents like doxorubicin.. The new order instructs the Food and Drug Administration to broaden reporting of potential drug shortages, expedite regulatory reviews that can help prevent shortages, and examine whether potential shortages have led to price gouging. The drug shortage has compromised or delayed care for some patients and may have led to otherwise preventable deaths.. Christopher W. Hansen, president of the American Cancer Societys Cancer Action Network, applauded todays order, saying in a statement that it would "allow government, industry, providers and the public to more systematically analyze and understand the ...

Study Finds New Drawback for Estrogen / Long use linked to risk of death from ovarian cancer - SFGate  Study Finds New Drawback for Estrogen / Long use linked to risk of death from ovarian cancer - SFGate
Women who take the hormone estrogen for 10 years or more after menopause substantially increase their risk of dying of ovarian cancer compared with women who do not take the hormone, according to a study released yesterday. In the American Cancer Society study of more than 211,000 post-menopausal women, those with any history of using hormone replacement therapy had a somewhat higher death rate from ovarian cancer than nonusers. If women are thinking of taking (hormones) for a short period of time, they dont need to consider ovarian cancer, said Carmen Rodriguez, an ACS epidemiologist and the studys principal author.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month | NursingAssistantGuides.com  Cervical Cancer Awareness Month | NursingAssistantGuides.com
The American Cancer Society is actively fighting cervical cancer on many fronts. We are helping women get tested for cervical cancer, helping them understand their diagnosis, and helping them get the treatments they need. The American Cancer Society also funds new research to help prevent, find, and treat cervical cancer. Nearly 13,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, but the disease is virtually always preventable with vaccination and appropriate screening.. Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women. But over the last 30 years, the cervical cancer death rate has gone down by more than 50%. The main reason for this change is the increased use of screening tests. Screening can find changes in the cervix before cancer develops. It can also find cervical cancer early - when its small, has not spread, and is easiest to cure. Another way to help prevent cervical cancer in the future is to have children vaccinated ...

It is increasingly clear that states of abnormal cell growth and death regulation are found in a wide variety of disease states including cancer. The impact on mortality of these diseases is clear as cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States (American Cancer Society), and globally the rates of cancer are growing. In fact, cancer is now the leading cause of death for those less than 85 years of age. The American Cancer Society estimated 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented through known cancer prevention strategies by modifiable lifestyle factors and appropriate use of available screening for early detection of cancers.. It has been suggested that nutrients play a prominent role in cancer prevention, but how they regulate cellular growth, differentiation and death is still unclear. For example, colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer diagnosed each year in the US and as many as 35% of those diagnosed die of this disease. Although many of these cases ...

Physical activity plays a role in improving breast cancer outcomes - Immunotherapy China  Physical activity plays a role in improving breast cancer outcomes - Immunotherapy China
Physical activity after breast cancer diagnosis has been linked with prolonged survival and improved quality of life, but most participants in a large breast cancer study did not meet national physical activity guidelines after they were diagnosed. Moreover, African-American women were less likely to meet the guidelines than white women. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings indicate that efforts to promote physical activity in breast cancer patients may need to be significantly enhanced.. The US Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the American Cancer Society, recommends that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity (or an equivalent combination thereof) each week for general health benefits and for chronic disease prevention and management.. Because its important to understand whether there is capacity for improvement in the ...

Breast cancer in men is rare - less than 1 percent of all breast carcinomas occur in men. Consider the latest statistics available from the American Cancer Society:. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008 some 1,990 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men in the US.. Breast cancer is about 100 times more common among women.. Estimates for 2008 also indicate that there will be more than 40,930 deaths from breast cancer in the US (40,480 women, 450 men).. The average age at diagnosis is 67, although men can be affected at any age.. Risk factors may include radiation exposure, estrogen administration, diseases associated with hyperestrogenism, such as cirrhosis or Klinefelters syndrome, and heavy alcohol intake.. Also, there are definite familial tendencies for developing breast cancer including an increased incidence in men who have a number of female relatives with breast cancer; an increased risk of male breast cancer has been reported in families in which a ...

American Cancer Society (ACS). October 18, 2016. A new study from American Cancer Society researchers finds eleven of the 15 cancers with the most impact on healthy years of life lost in the United States are closely-associated with two preventable risk factors: smoking and alcohol. The study, appearing early online in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, also finds the cancer burden is 20% to 30% higher in African Americans than in all races/ethnicities combined.. To measure cancer burden, researchers led by Joannie Lortet-Tieulent calculated the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost to cancer, i.e. the loss of life in full health because of cancer. This measure combines mortality, incidence, survival, and quality of life into a single summary indicator.. They estimated the U.S. burden of cancer in 2011 at over 9.8 million DALYs, which was equally shared among men and women (4.9 million DALYs for each sex). DALYs lost to cancer were mostly related to premature death due to cancer ...

Chemopreventive Compounds Induce Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells | Prized Writing  Chemopreventive Compounds Induce Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells | Prized Writing
The vitamins and plant-derived compounds currently under study have been highly effective at inducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells, thus demonstrating their immense promise as possible forms of treatment. However, the exact mechanism by which each compound signals a cell to die has not been determined because the intricate details of apoptosis are not yet fully understood. Programmed cell death involves multiple pathways; the exact pathway leading to apoptosis depends on the initiation signal and the particular genes and proteins that are activated. With a better understanding of apoptosis, scientists can apply that knowledge to design innovative breast cancer treatments, possibly involving vitamins and plant-derived compounds..

Reminder: Aspirin + Everyday = Lower Risk for Colon Cancer - Dr. Dale Prokupek  Reminder: Aspirin + Everyday = Lower Risk for Colon Cancer - Dr. Dale Prokupek
One proven method for preventing colon cancer is to get screened for the disease. "It is still very important to get screened for colorectal cancer so that colorectal polyps can be detected and removed before they ever turn into cancer," says Eric Jacobs, PhD, strategic director of epidemiology at the American Cancer Society.. The American Cancer Society recommends regular colon cancer screening for men and women starting at age 50. People who are at a higher-than-average risk of the disease (such as those with a family history of colon cancer) may need to begin getting tested earlier, or have more frequent tests.. That goes even for people who take aspirin regularly for other reasons, Jacobs notes. "Aspirin use will not prevent most cases of colorectal cancer." ...

Recommendations aim to reduce risk without reducing benefits of screening. The American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) have proposed new guidelines for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. The proposed guidelines, which are now posted for public comment, generally advise that women reduce the number of tests they get over their lifetime to better ensure that they receive the benefits of testing while minimizing the risks. The proposed guidelines also include a preference for co-testing using the Pap test and HPV test for women age 30 and over. After a public comment period that begins immediately and a multi-stakeholder symposium in November to discuss the proposed recommendations among a broad group of experts, the recommendations will be revised and incorporated into a final guideline from the American Cancer Society, anticipated in mid-2012..

Web site. A womans breast is made up of glands that make breast milk (lobules), ducts (small tubes that connect lobules to the nipple), fatty and connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymph (pronounced limf) vessels. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts (ductal carcinoma), some begin in the lobules (lobular carcinoma), and the rest in other tissues.. Lymph vessels are like veins, except that they carry lymph fluid instead of blood. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains immune system cells and waste products. Lymph vessels lead to small, bean-shaped collections of tissue called lymph nodes. Most lymph vessels of the breast lead to lymph nodes under the arm. These are called axillary (AX-uh-lair-ee) nodes. If breast cancer cells reach the underarm lymph nodes and continue to grow, they cause the nodes to swell. Once cancer cells have reached these nodes, they are more likely to spread to other organs of the body.. Aside from being female, age is the most important factor affecting breast cancer ...

The American Cancer Society estimated nearly 1.4 million new cases of invasive breast cancer worldwide in 2008.[1] In 2009, there were an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer among women in the United States according to the American Cancer Society along with about 62,280 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ, a noninvasive, early form of breast cancer. Each of these cases will have at least one biopsy, probably more than one (one diagnostic biopsy, at least one excision). Since about 80% of breast biopsies are benign, this means the total number of breast biopsies is well over 1 million annually in the US see eMedicine overview. In handling such a large number of biopsies, it is of course important to avoid misdiagnoses, which could lead to increased costs, both in the form of personal costs or costs resulting from inappropriate surgeries and therapies. Discrepancies between clinical reports can provide clues about potential life-saving and cost-saving corrections and check the ...

A multi-institutional trials program was initiated to define the effects of interferons in disseminated human breast carcinoma. Interferon alpha, prepared from buffy coats, was administered intramuscularly at 3 ×106 U daily for an initial period of 28 days. Of 23 patients who entered the program, five had an objective partial response of 92 days mean duration at diverse sites of involvement. Patients who responded were significantly older (p = 0.05) than nonresponders. Dose escalation in eight patients did not result in any clear evidence of additional responses. Major toxicities were fatigue, anorexia with weight loss, and reversible leukopenia (less than 3.5 ×109 leukocytes/L in 16 patients). Natural killer cell and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity were significantly (p , 0.05) enhanced 48 hours after interferon administration began but subsequently declined despite continued therapy. Serum β2microglobulin concentration increased on day 15 (p , 0.05) and remained significantly ...

The American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines define the appropriate use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as an adjunct to mammography for breast cancer screening. Three risk assessment models are recommended to determine if women are at sufficient risk to warrant the use of this expensive screening tool, however, the real world application of these models has not been explored. We sought to understand how these models behave in a community setting for women undergoing mammography screening. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 5,894 women who received mammography screening at a community hospital and assessed their eligibility for MRI according to the ACS guidelines. Of the 5,894 women, 342 (5.8%) were eligible for MRI, but we found significant differences in the number of eligible women identified by each model. Our results indicate that these models identify very different populations, implying that the ACS guidelines deserve further development and consideration. ...

US cancer death rates continue to fall as 5-year survival rates rise - study - Mercenarymma News  US cancer death rates continue to fall as 5-year survival rates rise - study - Mercenarymma News
Cancer death rates in the United States are continuing to fall and the five-year survival rates of those diagnosed with the disease have risen, research shows.. The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, published on Friday, also shows a decline in incidence of cancer among men in recent years, although it remained stable among women.. Death rates from 2010 to 2014 decreased for 11 of the 16 most common types of cancer in men and for 13 of the 18 most common types of cancer in women, including lung, colorectal, female breast, and prostate cancers.. The authors, from the American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) suggest a decline in smoking - down more than 50% over the last 50 years - as well as improved early detection and more effective treatment helped bring about the fall.. But they warn that smoking continues to pose a threat along with obesity, ...

Which Cancers Are Increasing Among Older Adults? - Oral Cancer News  Which Cancers Are Increasing Among Older Adults? - Oral Cancer News
Source: AARP. Cancers of the mouth and throat related to oral sex, as well as thyroid, liver and skin cancers are on the rise among older adults, according to new stats released last week from the American Cancer Society.. There was some good news, however. The death rate is down for the well-known major cancers. The societys Cancer Statistics 2012 report found that overall, cancer deaths dropped by nearly two percent for both men and women from 2004 to 2008.. That may sound paltry, but Len Lichtenfeld, M.D., the societys deputy chief medical officer, says it is more significant than it seems: Many people avoided even hearing the words "you have cancer" because advances in cancer treatment caught problems early, while still in the pre-cancerous stage, he said.. The report found that death rates were down for all four major cancers - lung, colorectal, breast and prostate. The biggest drop was for lung cancer, which is down almost 40 percent in the number of men dying from the disease, thanks to ...

First Formal Guidelines on Cancer Survivorship Stress Importance of Physical Activity  First Formal Guidelines on Cancer Survivorship Stress Importance of Physical Activity
Getting adequate physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a healthy diet can reduce the chance of recurrence of many cancers and increase the likelihood of disease-free survival after a diagnosis, say new guidelines from the American Cancer Society. The guidelines encourage survivors to aim to exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, and to include strength training exercises at least 2 days per week. The society has issued previous reports outlining the evidence on the effect of nutrition and physical activity on cancer recurrence and survival. However, this is the first time the evidence has been strong enough to release formal guidelines for survivorship. For this report, a group of experts in nutrition, physical activity, and cancer survivorship evaluated the scientific evidence and best clinical practices related to optimal nutrition and physical activity after the diagnosis of cancer.

Giant colon at Capitol  Giant colon at Capitol
A great big reminder to get your colon checked. Visitors to the state Capitol get a chance to tour a giant colon set up inside the rotunda - all for a good reason, of course. Colon cancer is one of the most preventable and detectable forms of cancer facing folks here in Wisconsin and also nationwide, says Eric Schutt with the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Cancer Society . If you can get those screenings early enough, you can certainly get it treated, to beat the cancer. Colon cancer will strike thousand of families in the state this year. According to Cancer Society statistics, 2,930 new colorectal cancer cases will be diagnosed this year, and over 900 Wisconsinites will die of the disease. In addition to genetic causes, colon cancer has also been linked to smoking, alcohol abuse, as well as diet and exercise Schutt says some people are still put off by colon cancer screenings and colonoscopies. There may be an education factor here, he says. They aren't quite sure of what all is ...

The cancer society, in partnership with other groups, last year began recommending virtual colonoscopy as one option for colon cancer screening.

Cost-Conscious Cancer Survivors Skip Care  Cost-Conscious Cancer Survivors Skip Care
MONDAY, June 14 (HealthDay News) -- Millions of Americans with a history of cancer, particularly people under age 65, are delaying or skimping on medical care because of worries about the cost of treatment, a new study suggests. The finding raises troubling questions about the long-term survival and quality of life of the 12 million adults in the United States whose lives have been forever changed by a diagnosis of cancer.. "I think its concerning because we recognize that cancer survivors have many medical needs that persist for years after their diagnosis and treatment," said study lead author Kathryn E. Weaver, an assistant professor in the Department of Social Sciences & Health Policy at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.. The report was published online June 14 in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society.. Cost concerns have posed a threat to cancer survivorship for some time, particularly with the advent of new, life-prolonging treatments.. Dr. ...

Impact of Weight Loss Interventions for Overweight Breast Cancer Survivors - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.gov  Impact of Weight Loss Interventions for Overweight Breast Cancer Survivors - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Obesity is an epidemic and the majority of breast cancer survivors are overweight or obese. The American Cancer Society has called for weight loss treatment to be standard of care for overweight women with breast cancer. During therapy women with breast cancer often gain weight and lose lean muscle mass. Overweight breast cancer survivors are more likely to have their cancer come back. The reason why overweight breast cancer survivors are more likely to re-occur has not been well studied, but changes in how insulin works may contribute. Overweight survivors are also at risk for the other chronic diseases associated with obesity. Fortunately, weight losses of as little as 5-7% of baseline body weight can improve risk of chronic disease. An effective behaviorally-based, lifestyle intervention delivered via the internet has been developed at the University of Vermont. This successful intervention has not been tested among breast cancer survivors. Given that women tend to lose muscle mass during ...

August 10, 2009 - Limb-sparing surgery, which has been taking the place of amputation for bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the lower limb in recent years, may not provide much or even any additional benefit to patients according to a new review. The analysis, published in the September 15, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, indicates that patients and physicians should rethink the pros and cons of limb-sparing surgery and amputation.. Patients with tumors of the bone or soft tissue in their arms and legs require surgery to remove their cancer. To compare the costs and benefits of amputation compared with limb-sparing surgery in these patients, Canadian researchers Ronald Barr, M.D., M.B., Ch.B., of McMaster University and Jay Wunder, M.D., M.Sc., of the Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Toronto reviewed all published papers on limb-sparing surgery that also measured patients functional health and quality of life..

Vulvar cancer - Wikipedia  Vulvar cancer - Wikipedia
Vulvar cancer is a malignant, invasive growth in the vulva, or the outer portion of the female genitals. The disease accounts for only 0.6% of cancer diagnoses but 5% of gynecologic cancers in the United States. The labia majora are the most common site involved representing about 50% of all cases, followed by the labia minora. The clitoris and Bartholin glands may rarely be involved. Vulvar cancer is separate from vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), a superficial lesion of the epithelium that has not invaded the basement membrane-or a pre-cancer. VIN may progress to carcinoma-in-situ and, eventually, squamous cell cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2014, there were about 4,850 new cases of vulvar cancer and 1,030 deaths from the disease. In the United States, five-year survival rates for vulvar cancer are around 70%. Most vulvar cancer (approximately 90%) is squamous cell carcinoma, which originates from epidermal squamous cells, the most common type of skin cell. ...
