    Health National Institutes of Health (NIH) Cancer Research or Create Your Own Manage Alerts What Is This? (AP) The odds of surviving breast cancer have improved in recent years not only because treatments are so much better but also because the average tumor is smaller, a huge new study shows. Examining 25 years of cancer records nationwide, researchers concluded that smaller tumor size accounted for 61 percent of the improvement in survival when cancer had not spread beyond the breast, and 28 percent when it had spread just a little. For women 65 and older with early-stage tumors, the most common scenario, the shift in size accounted for virtually all of the improvement in survival. "We don't in any way want to diminish the benefits we've seen from advances in treatment because they've been enormous," said lead researcher Elena Elkin. "But not all of the improvement in survival is due to treatment when important characteristics like size have also changed over time."

Cancer Vaccine Program
"The science has evolved to the point where this is really possible. The idea of a therapeutic cancer vaccine isn't just a dream; it finally is something that is potentially within our grasp."
J. Mark Lievonen, President of Aventis Pasteur Limited. New discoveries are daily bringing the prospect of therapeutic cancer vaccines closer to reality. Aventis Pasteur scientists, together with collaborators around the world, are delving into basic science how the immune system works, how cancer cells mutate and grow, how the two interact and creating new worlds of understanding. Aventis Pasteur is currently testing this immunotherapeutic approach with clinical trials initially focusing on two main targets colorectal cancer and melanoma. While there is still much work to be done, the initial results of human clinical trials are promising. Three major types of cells are important in the immune response to cancer. These cells are the antigen-presenting cells, B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes. Other cells, such as natural killer cells and polymorphonuclear cells, may also play a role.

In short, Step Up believes that the work of Dr. Farias-Eisner has the potential to have a dramatic impact on the early detection of many cancers. We are proud to support this profoundly promising research.

Why is American Milk Banned in Europe?
  • Genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in milk increases cancer risks.
American dairy farmers inject rBGH to dairy cows to increase milk production. European nations and Canada have banned rBGH to protect citizens from IGF-1 hazards. Monsanto Co., the manufacturer of rBGH, has influenced U. S. product safety laws permitting the sale of unlabeled rBGH milk. (Monsanto would lose billions of dollars if rBGH were banned in America.) Q. Is there any milk not contaminated with rBGH and IGF-1?
NO rBGH Q. What about cheeses?
Imported European cheeses are safe since Europe has banned rBGH. Follow the links below for details:

A. Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)is a normal growth factor. Excess levels have been increasingly linked by modern research to human cancer development and growth.

According to a cervical cancer screening study, underuse of Papanicolaou (Pap) screening by women ages 18 or older was partly due to lack of a physician recommendation. The CDC analyzed data from the 2000 National Health Interview Survey to determine if women in the United States had received a physician recommendation to get a Pap test. Reported reasons for not receiving a Pap test were also explored. The graphs of the major findings by Race/Ethnicity and Health Insurance Status are available.

Milk and the Cancer Connection
With complete references for researchers
by Hans R. Larsen, MSc ChE
On January 23, 1998 researchers at the Harvard Medical School released a major study providing conclusive evidence that IGF-1 is a potent risk factor for prostate cancer. Should you be concerned? Yes, you certainly should, particularly if you drink milk produced in the United States. IGF-1 or insulin-like growth factor 1 is an important hormone that is produced in the liver and body tissues. It is a polypeptide and consists of 70 amino acids linked together. All mammals produce IGF-1 molecules very similar in structure and human and bovine IGF-1 are completely identical. IGF-1 acquired its name because it has insulin-like activity in fat (adipose) tissue and has a structure that is very similar to that of proinsulin. The body's production of IGF-1 is regulated by the human growth hormone and peaks at puberty. IGF-1 production declines with age and is only about half the adult value at the age of 70 years. IGF-1 is a very powerful hormone that has profound effects even though its concentration in the blood serum is only about 200 ng/mL or 0.2 millionth of a gram per milliliter (1-4). IGF-1 and cancer
IGF-1 is known to stimulate the growth of both normal and cancerous cells(2,5). In 1990 researchers at Stanford University reported that IGF-1 promotes the growth of prostate cells(2). This was followed by the discovery that IGF-1 accelerates the growth of breast cancer cells(6-8). In 1995 researchers at the National Institutes of Health reported that IGF-1 plays a central role in the progression of many childhood cancers and in the growth of tumours in breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, melanoma, and cancers of the pancreas and prostate(9). In September 1997 an international team of researchers reported the first epidemiological evidence that high IGF-1 concentrations are closely linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer(10). Other researchers provided evidence of IGF-1's link to breast and colon cancers(10,11).

Breast Screening
... Does breast screening save lives? If you have been invited for screening, or have been for screening and have any questions about the result, you should contact the name and address shown on your invitation letter or result letter. If you are worried about a specific problem, or otherwise worried about the risks of cancer, then you should talk to your GP.
What is breast screening?
Breast screening is a method of detecting breast cancer at a very early stage. The first step involves an x-ray of each breast - a mammogram - which is taken while carefully compressing the breast. Most women find it a bit uncomfortable and a few find it painful. The mammogram can detect small changes in breast tissue which may indicate cancers which are too small to be felt either by the woman herself or by a doctor.
What does the NHS Breast Screening Programme do?
The NHS Breast Screening Programme provides free breast screening every three years for all women in the UK aged 50 and over. Around one-and-a-half million women are screened in the UK each year. Women aged between 50 and 70 are now routinely invited.
