...body the cancer originated. "The source of the cancer becomes less of an issue over time than trying to understand the signaling pathways the cell is using," says Dr. James Abbruzzese of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. In coming years, doctors will think not of breast cancers and colon cancers but rather of growth-factor cancers and signaling cancers...
...wasn't a vote of confidence. A national study found that virtual colonoscopy, a computerized-imaging technique that offers a less invasive way to screen for colon cancer, was significantly less effective at finding polyps than standard scans. Yet only months ago, another study, using more advanced equipment, showed it to be just as good as traditional colonoscopy at detection. The disparity prompted J.A.M.A. to editorialize that the difference between virtual colonoscopy's potential and its results in normal practice is "so great that physicians must be cautious." Both technique and training need improvement...
...without a hint of strain. Her interviews on Today (the top-rated TV morning show for the past nine years) often set the news agenda for the day, and her hairstyles get picked apart over the water cooler. The unique bond she has with viewers made her campaign against colon cancer an unprecedented success. One look at Couric's televised colonoscopy and thousands were moved to do the same; colon-cancer screenings have risen 20% nationwide (and untold lives saved) in what researchers call the Couric effect...
...book leaves you with a heightened awareness of the smile's subliminal power. As you read this, buses around Sydney are advertising cider with a sepia photo of grave-faced frontiersmen: they saved their smiles for happy hour; while emails zip around cyberspace with the smiley emoticon of colon-dash-parenthesis. "The smile, meanwhile, is getting broader, wider, fiercer," writes Trumble. And, as his book attests, more subversive than ever...
...said that chronic inflammation might drive away "many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age" and that there might be "a single, inflammation-reducing remedy that would prevent" heart disease, Alzheimer's and colon cancer. Talk about preventing ailments is just whistling in the wind. It is simple: we are born, perhaps procreate and die. I can't believe we need the help of the pharmaceutical industry to see us through to our end. At the rate American medical researchers and drug companies are promulgating their dogmas, followers will rattle like pill bottles should they live...
