181. A Patient's Guide To Choosing Unconventional Therapies The Canadian cancer Society and Canadian lung Association provide questions for the public to consider when exploring the use of alternative and complementary medical systems. http://www.lung.ca/unconventional/

A Patient's Guide to choosing . . . Unconventional Therapies Unconventional therapies (UTs) are therapies not usually provided by Canadian physicians or other conventionally trained health care providers. Examples of common UTs available in Canada are herbal preparations, reflexology, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. UTs may be used along with conventional therapies (i.e. complementary therapy ) or instead of conventional therapies (i.e. alternative therapy ). Surveys have shown that many Canadians use UTs, usually as complementary therapies, for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Reliable information about UTs is often difficult to find. Your doctor may be unable to give you specific advice or recommendations, since UTs are often not in a physician’s area of expertise. However, he or she will usually be able to provide some general advice and help supervise your progress. For your own health and safety, it is important to keep your doctor informed of the choices you make. This document is intended to provide you with questions to consider when making your treatment choices help you find information about UTs

In 2003, more than 550,000 died of cancer, which is roughly half the people who were diagnosed.* Up until now, diagnostic tools have been limited in their ability to pinpoint symptoms at the earliest disease stages, when the most effective treatment options can be pursued. We invite you to learn more about who we are and why our research matters. And most importantly, how you can help us revolutionize the field of cancer diagnostics and treatment.

Glossary Cancer Cardiovascular Diabetes Environmental Health Osteoporosis Pelvic Health Pregnancy Sexual Health Cancer isn't one disease, but a group of diseases, which cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Most types of cancer cells form a lump or mass called a tumour. Only a few cancers don't form a tumour, such as blood cancers (leukemia). Cells from a tumour can break away and travel to other parts of the body and, from there, continue to grow. This spreading is called metastasis. When cancer spreads - for instance, if breast cancer spreads to the lungs - it is still named after the part of the body where it originated. In this case, it is still breast cancer, not lung cancer. A cancerous tumour is called a malignant tumour. Tumours, however, are not all cancerous. Tumours that are not cancerous are called benign. In most cases, benign tumours are not life threatening, and do not grow and spread the way cancer does.

A working group from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization, examined all of the major studies looking at smoking and cancer. After a five-day meeting in Lyons, France, this week, they suggested non-smokers who are exposed to second-hand smoke are between 20% and 30% more likely to develop lung cancer. Passive smoking is quite clearly more than just the nuisance many of the world's tobacco companies would have us believe Marsha Williams, ASH The experts also found cancers of the stomach, liver, uterus, cervix, kidney and myeloid leukaemia could be caused in part by smoking. The group of 29 experts from 12 countries found second-hand tobacco smoke was carcinogenic to humans and that typical levels of passive exposure have been shown to cause lung cancer among people who have never smoked.

Technology Fox Chase Cancer Center stands at the forefront of cancer treatment, providing care for patients with all stages of lung cancer. Dr Melvyn Goldberg , chief of thoracic (chest) surgery at Fox Chase Cancer Center and vice chairman of the department of surgical oncology, is one of several physicians in the Delaware Valley who performs surgery solely for cancers of the lung and chest. Dr Goldberg sees many patients who are told that their condition is inoperable. In the majority of instances, he can perform curative surgery on these men and women who were denied operations elsewhere. The program was built on years of basic science and clinical research. Because of this scientific foundation, thoracic surgery at Fox Chase offers hope for patients with cancer recurrence or a cancer that requires complex treatment. Along with medical and radiation oncologists, Dr Goldberg is a key investigator in national clinical trials for all stages of lung cancer and cancer of the esophagus. Dr. Goldberg and his colleagues also develop clinical studies that may become national trials.
