Donna Karan to Fund Alternative Cancer Research
The foundation run by fashion designer Donna Karan, founder of the DKNY clothing line, is partnering with Beth Israel Medical Center, in New York City, to test yoga, meditation and aromatherapy treatments against cancer over the course of a year.
The alternative approaches will be used to supplement conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Medical staff at Beth Israel will keep close tabs on the results of the Eastern-oriented treatments in order to provide the world with some much-needed empirical evidence of their efficacy or lack thereof.

New Boon for Pancreatic Cancer Patients
A new drug therapy that annihilates the blood vessels that grow to feed malignant tumors is showing considerable promise in increasing the longevity of patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer.
Recent research, led by Matthias Löhr of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, shows that a drug called EndoTAG-1 (chemical name: cationic lipid complexed paclitaxel), when infused with gemcitabine, can substantially extend life. In his study involving 200 subjects with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Löhr treated half of them, the control group, with gemcitabine alone. (Read more about New Boon for Pancreatic Cancer Patients)

Cancer Patients In Need of Psychological and Social Support
A recent report from the Institute of Medicine addresses the toll that cancer therapies have on patients' mental and emotional state that may potentially cause other health problems. Cancer treatments save and prolong many people's lives; however, care that focuses solely on eradicating tumors without acknowledging a patient's well-being can increase the patient's suffering and affect their ability to follow through on treatment. The report proposes that oncology care providers use a new standard of care that accomplishes three goals: screen patients for distress and other problems, coordinate and connect patients with health care or service providers who can treat these problems, and periodically re-evaluate patients to determine if patient care needs adjustment.

Prostate Cancer Detection
 There is a brand new tool for detecting prostate cancer that could make a huge difference in reducing the chances a cancer will be missed.
The bottom line here is not only will cancers be detected more accurately and be less likely to be missed, but it could make it easier to avoid a complete prostate removal, a big, aggressive surgery.
Instead, doctors could use targeted therapies that will just destroy the cancer spots, leaving the rest of the prostate intact.
Jan winston had been followed by his doctor for a suspicious psa test, the blood test that is a marker for prostate cancer.
That number kept rising. “He had done a previous biopsy that was negative. And then he talked about using this machine, and he found it with the biopsy using this mapping capability,” says Jan.
Target scan helps minimize the problem of missed diagnosis on biopsy, particularly as a result of inadequate, inaccurate sampling of prostate tissue.
Dr. Samir Taneja, Director of Urologic Oncology at NYU Cancer Center, says, “We’re probably missing about a third of cancers on the first biopsy go round so we believe this machine reduces that miss rate and that is something we would like to test in our upcoming clinical trial.” (Read more about Prostate Cancer Detection)

New Ovarian Cancer Treatment
There’s new hope for ovarian cancer patients. Doctors are saying that giving chemo through the abdomen rather than through the vein should now be the way many ovarian cancer patients are treated.
This is actually an old method to deliver chemo; it dates back fifty years. It delivers the chemo into what’s called the intra-peritoneal area of the abdomen.
The goal is to get the remaining cancer cells after the tumor is surgically removed, in patients like Eleanor Lewis. Eleanor is looking for a way to lessen the significance of time. (Read more about New Ovarian Cancer Treatment)

TESTICULAR CANCER
They are two news broadcasters with a common bond: Sean Kimmerling, the WB 11 sportscaster in New York; and Dan Abrams of NBC.
Dan says, “No one expects to hear the words ‘You have cancer.’ I think it’s even more unexpected for people who are young and healthy.”
Both developed testicular cancer. But they differ in one very significant way. “Sean Kimmerling was a month younger than me, in the same business as me and was in the same hospital as me with the same disease as me. He died and I didn’t,” says Dan. (Read more about TESTICULAR CANCER)

CERVICAL CANCER BIO-PROBE
Natalie is grateful that she listened to her body. It helped doctors in her cervical cancer detection and treatment.
“I had one missed period and for me that wasn’t normal, so I went to the doctor,” says Natalie.
A pap smear revealed that at only 27 years old, Natalie had cervical cancer.
“I had a hysterectomy and I had radiation,” she says. Her situation could have been worse if her cervical cancer detection had been delayed any further. (Read more about CERVICAL CANCER BIO-PROBE)
