New study firmly ties hormone use to breast cancer

submitted by stef718 1 year, 8 months ago

news.yahoo.com — Taking menopause hormones for five years doubles the risk for breast cancer, according to a new analysis of a big federal study that reveals the most dramatic evidence yet of the dangers of these still-popular pills. Even women who took estrogen and progestin pills for as little as a couple of years had a greater chance of getting cancer. And when they stopped taking them, their odds quickly improved, returning to a normal risk level roughly two years after quitting. Collectively, these new findings are likely to end any doubt that the risks outweigh the benefits for most women. read more...

Encouraging dip in rate of new cancers, deaths

submitted by maria 1 year, 9 months ago

news.yahoo.com — WASHINGTON – The rate of new cancer cases finally may be inching down — cautiously optimistic news but a gain that specialists worry could be derailed by economic turmoil. Death rates from cancer have been dropping slowly for years, thanks to earlier detection and better treatments. But preventing cancer is the ultimate goal, and Tuesday's annual "Report to the Nation" on cancer also shows a small but encouraging change: The rate of new diagnoses among men dropped 1.8 percent a year between 2001 and 2005. For women, the dip was just over half a percent a year. Also, the cancer death rate among men and women continued to drop, by an average of 1.8 percent a year through 2005, said the report published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. read more...

Ireland scrambles to contain pork cancer scare

submitted by stef718 1 year, 8 months ago

news.yahoo.com — DUBLIN (AFP) – Irish pork was removed from sale in Europe and Asia on Monday due to fears of a cancer link, as Ireland scrambled to find the source of the scare. Japan, Singapore and South Korea suspended imports from Ireland after Dublin ordered all pig meat products made since September 1 to be withdrawn as dioxins were found in slaughtered pigs thought to have eaten tainted feed. The European Commission said 12 countries in the European Union and nine others may have received contaminated meat, but said it would not impose a blanket ban on Irish pork exports. Irish police joined the investigation into a pig feed company suspected of being behind the contamination, which has caused panic in Ireland at a time when many families would have been buying their traditional Christmas ham. read more...

Cancer to be world's top killer by 2010, WHO says

news.yahoo.com — Cancer will overtake heart disease as the world's top killer by 2010, part of a trend that should more than double global cancer cases and deaths by 2030, international health experts said in a report released Tuesday. Rising tobacco use in developing countries is believed to be a huge reason for the shift, particularly in China and India, where 40 percent of the world's smokers now live. So is better diagnosing of cancer, along with the downward trend in infectious diseases that used to be the world's leading killers. Cancer diagnoses around the world have steadily been rising and are expected to hit 12 million this year. Global cancer deaths are expected to reach 7 million, according to the new report by the World Health Organization. read more...

Pill as good as chemo on lung cancer, but costlier

submitted by gregmax 1 year, 9 months ago

news.yahoo.com — Some advanced lung cancer patients already treated with chemotherapy might be able to skip some of the bad side effects of another series of chemo by taking a pill instead, a study suggests. An international study showed patients on Iressa, an expensive, newer targeted treatment, survived about as long as those on another course of chemotherapy. "This will provide us with another drug in our armory," said Dr. Michael Seckl, head of Cancer Research UK's Lung Cancer Group at Imperial College in London. Seckl was not connected to the research, which was published Friday in the Lancet medical journal. Few treatments for lung cancer exist, and most patients die within a few years of diagnosis. Lung cancer kills about 1.4 million people every year. read more...
