An Alternative, Ethical Source for Stem Cells

A new source of stem cells could be as good as embryonic stem cells for researching and developing treatments for a range of serious diseases, and without the ethical implications of embryonic stem cells. Scientists from Germany and the UK have discovered this new source: routine biopsies of men's testicles. Stem cells from embryos have the potential to become any cell in the body, since a whole person grows from a single fertilized egg. But ethical issues arise because extracting stem cells requires the destruction of embryos.

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.

Lung Cancer Treatment

There is some encouraging news tonight regarding the treatment of lung cancer. A minimally invasive procedure is shown to be so effective at zapping away tumors, it’s prolonging the lives of patients far beyond what’s currently expected. The best way to get rid of lung cancer is to cut it out. But many patients, like Candi Harrah, can’t have surgery, leaving them stuck with few good options. “My husband had noticed that I coughed up a little blood which I didn’t think was unusual because of sinus stuff, you know it is really easy to get nose bleeds when you have severe allergies.” But at the age of 50, after years of smoking cigarettes, Candi got a disturbing diagnosis: lung cancer. “The gentleman who read the scans said basically you have three months to live, we will make you as comfortable as possible. I said there is no way, there is no way I accepted that,” says Candi.

Important Research for Woman Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

There is important research that will directly affect one out of every four women diagnosed with breast cancer. Herceptin, a treatment used to boost the benefits of chemotherapy and surgery has been shown to be highly effective, and experts are saying it's a must-use. Now, two new studies say herceptin can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and the overall risk of death. Three years ago, when Wendy Funk she was only 35, she thought her life was over. Diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32, her cancer had later spread. "When I had the breast cancer metastasis, they had given me six months to live," says Wendy.

Abraxane Breast Cancer Treatment

Four years ago Maryann Dillon was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. “You’re just numb, any time you receive a diagnosis like that, you’re just numb,” says Maryann. Maryann says she felt like she was given a death sentence. Because her cancer spread, surgery was not an option so she began intense rounds of chemo and drug therapy. “They said that I had a year, maybe a year and a half to live. And it was diagnosed as a terminal cancer,” says

Prostate cancer is cancer that develops in the prostate. The condition tends to develop in men over the age of fifty and although it is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in men, men rarely die from the cancer. This is because the cancer is in majority of cases slow-growing and has little or no symptoms. Many factors including genetics and diet have been implicated to be a cause but there has been no certain conclusions made. Prostate is least common in South and East Asia and is more common in Europe and most common in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is least common among Asian men and most common among black men, with white men lying in between. These figures may be affected by an increased rate of detection in some countries.
