What is the Polypill?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

Men and Skin Protection
 With the waning weeks of summer, this is the time that we’re hitting the pools and beaches strong, trying to catch the last vestiges of the sun.
But men, listen up: you don’t worry enough about your skin, according to the latest research.
It’s almost like you have to whack it into the brains of men--that they are susceptible, just like everyone else, to skin cancer.
Take Todd Bernstein for example. “The first marking actually started with my regular Dr. he saw a mark and said this should be removed, of course I didn’t do anything about it until two years later,” says Todd.
Todd’s back at the doctor’s office today, to get his stitches removed following the excision of five highly suspicious--in fact, near borderline-- malignant moles.
And he still hasn’t learned! “I do put on the sunscreen, my skin, my body, but I’m always in a rush uh especially when I’m outdoors playing golf so I do the basics, but you know it is nice to be in the sun; it feels good,” states Todd, an avid golfer.
Rates of melanomas have increased almost 15-fold over the last 50 years. And that increase has been observed disproportionally in men over 50.
The problem: men don’t get screened. (Read more about Men and Skin Protection)

What is Cancer?
By Dr. Chitti Moorthy -Director, Departments of Radiation Medicine and Radiology,
New York Medical College, Valhalla , NY
The cause of cancer lies deep within the building blocks of a person's cells (genes and DNA). If these blocks become disorganized, cancer may develop. (Read more about What is Cancer?)

Leading medical centers provide state-of-the-art radiation therapy in a comfortable and caring environment. (Read more about Radiation Oncology)

Multiple Melanoma
There is strong evidence showing that the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma, is a growing threat. Now, new research shows that cases of multiple melanomas are on the rise. People who get melanoma don’t just get one; they’re at risk for two or even more.
We don’t completely know why we see more than one of the same type of cancer in an individual person. It’s likely that genetic susceptibility plays a role. Or, it might be simply due to heavy exposure to the toxic agent causing the cancer, like smoking in the case of lung cancer, and sun exposure in the case of skin cancer.
This study shows a large portion of people with melanoma aren’t done with the problem even after their first cancer is successfully removed, but might have to contend with multiple melanomas. (Read more about Multiple Melanoma)

What is Cancer and How it is Caused
Cancer is a term used to describe a group of illnesses all having certain common characteristics. There are over 200 different types of cancer and all have a specific name, treatment and a chance of being cured. The human body is made of organs, such as the brain, liver and heart. And each of these organs is made up tissues, such as fat, blood vessels and muscles. (Read more about What is Cancer and How it is Caused)

NON-MELANOMA SKIN CANCER STUDY
While skin cancer has always been associated with melanoma, cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are becoming increasingly common. Each year, about a million people in the United States learn that they have skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S. 40 to 50% of Americans who live to age 65 will have skin cancer at least once.
Now a new study shows the rates of two types of skin cancer--basal cell and squamous cell cancer--are on the rise, turning up much more frequently in very young people.
Dr. Ann Dacko, a dermatologic surgeon at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, says, “Most people develop skin cancer around the age of 50 or later, both men and women. Recently however I’ve had many more patients, patients in their twenties, and thirties have developed non-melanoma skin cancer. It’s not lethal but it still is a cancer.” (Read more about NON-MELANOMA SKIN CANCER STUDY)

Melanoma
Melanoma is a malignancy of the skin. It's the fastest growing cancer in America today. It is caused by excessive sun exposure combined with a genetic disposition towards this type of cancer. (Read more about Melanoma)

MINORITIES AND MELANOMA
It’s the time of year the pool and the beach beckons us…
But African Americans and Hispanics have reason to pause before heading out into the sun. New research shows that it’s not just fair skinned individuals, but dark skinned minorities are also at risk for skin cancer resulting from exposure to the harmful rays of the sun. (Read more about MINORITIES AND MELANOMA)

NO SAFE SUN
Is it possible sun exposure could actually have benefits? Experts at an American Academy of Dermatology conference addressed the issue, with the kickoff of Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention month. The academy has gone on the offensive, with a powerful and morbid public service announcement campaign. One 30 second ad shows, from a seagull’s view a downward look at a beach and the ocean. From afar, it looks like there are many people enjoying their time in the sun. (Read more about NO SAFE SUN)
