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."

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?

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)

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)

Everyone should!
Melanomas cause 80 percent of deaths from skin cancer. But here’s the good news: most serious cases of melanoma and most melanoma deaths can be prevented if people would simply do two things: use sunscreen, and get their skin screened! (Read more about MELANOMA SCREENING)
