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.

All Types of Alcohol Linked to Breast Cancer Risk
A recent study by Kaiser Permanente Researchers has found that the effects of alcohol on breast cancer are the same, regardless of whether a woman drinks wine, beer, or liquor. The ethyl alcohol found in those drinks and the quantity consumed are the factors that weigh heavily on breast cancer risk. Researchers believe the increased risk from three or more drinks a day is similar to the increased breast cancer risk from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day or more. They claim that "Population studies have consistently linked drinking alcohol to an increased risk of female breast cancer, but until now there has been little data, most of it conflicting, about an independant role played by the choice of beverage type."

Asbestosis
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is used for many purposes especially in insulation. When inhaled, these tiny, needle-like fibers cause your immune cells to literally imperil themselves in an attempt to rid your lung of these asbestos fibers. (Read more about Asbestosis)

VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY
There’s no question, early screening for colon cancer saves lives, particularly among those aged 50 and older. But there is a debate now among medical experts: can patients get as good, and as safe a reading by using virtual colonoscopy, which uses x-ray images, or must they still go for a standard colonoscopy which uses a scope to look into the colon? (Read more about VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY)

BREAST MRI-MAMMOGRAPHY STUDY
There’s good news tonight for women at high risk for breast cancer. Researchers say using breast MRI along with mammography is highly accurate in detecting tumors.
Not only does this mean cancers can be picked up more reliably, but also, women who might choose to get a preventative mastectomy or get their ovaries removed now have the option to watch and wait with confidence. (Read more about BREAST MRI-MAMMOGRAPHY STUDY)

OVARIAN CANCER SCREENING TEST
There is an exciting breakthrough reported tonight by Yale University researchers that could mean finally, an accurate way to carry out early screening tests for ovarian cancer.
If you think about it, we have colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer, we have pap smears to look for cervical cancer, mammograms for breast cancer, and now we’re even using CAT scans to screen for lung cancer. But we don’t have anything for ovarian cancer that’s been shown to be effective, accurate, and one which can pick up the cancer before it spreads. That is, perhaps, until now.
