Dr. Mills Gives Examples of Unexpected Therapy Responses
Gordon B. Mills, MD, PhD, chairman, Department of Systems Biology, chief, Section of Molecular Therapeutics, Professor of Medicine and Immunology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses examples of recent and unexpected responses to medications in diseases that did not have a treatment. 1. Crizotinib (Xalkori), a recently FDA approved drug that targets the EML4-ALK translocation in non-small cell lung cancer, has shown remarkable responses including a disease control rate of 74% and a demonstrated 50% and 61% median objective response rate. 2. Rapamycin analogs have demonstrated endometrial benefits in over 50% of patients. 3. BRAF targeted therapies, such as Vemurafenib (Zelboraf), which is approved for BRAFV600E-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma, have demonstrated remarkable progress, including a 74% reduction in disease progression. In order to drive this type of therapy to the next level the first step will be to construct combinatory therapies. The field will begin to evolve from a short-term response that benefits a lot of patients, to a long-term durable response, and finally a cure.

ACC generally affects women (62%) more than men (38%) with the median age of those affected being 58 years, which is 10 years younger than that of the average cancer patient. The cause of ACC is not known. ACC is not associated with smoking or alcohol consumption as are some cancers of the lung and the oral cavity. The reasonable explanation is that ACC, like most cancers, is the result …

Coach Trent Todd: When The Doctor Gives You 5 Years to Live
A coach and a great friend of mine, Trent Todd, has been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In short, Trent needs a miracle and/or a double lung transplant. His doctors gave him five years to live. That was a few years ago. At first, things did not seem so “bad”. I confess I didn’t even notice much of a change. He continued to work, continued to coach … But now things have taken a different turn and he needs an oxygen machine to help him breathe. Please pray for Trent, his wife Jill and his two young children Sophia and Bryce. And yet, Trent wants to continue building SportsLeader. He wanted to record some short video messages to encourage others about what life, coaching and mentoring are truly about. My family and I had the opportunity to visit with Trent and his family and it was such a blessing. Being with a man who only thinks of others, who you know cares about everyone … it is an inspiring experience and I could see that all of my children learned a great deal from him. This short video clip is the first of a series we will create. Please take a moment to ask yourself: Why do I coach? If I were in Trent’s shoes would my perspective be different? Life is Short. I encourage you to dig deeper in your heart and consider making a change to have more of an impact on the young men’s hearts and souls you are mentoring. God bless you, Lou www.sportsleader.org Character Building Clinic Feb 5th sportsleaderusa.blogspot.com … Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease …

If one parent has a dominant allele that gives a 75% chance of develping a certain type of cancer between?
Question by 8889: If one parent has a dominant allele that gives a 75% chance of develping a certain type of cancer between?
the ages of 35 and 65. What is the likelihood you have inherited the cancer allele? What is the percentage. One parent has the dominant allele and the other parent does not have a dominant allele.
Best answer:
Answer by Peter V
There isnt enough info to do this problem… it is a simple Punnet square, but you didnt tell us if the dominant allele is homozygous or heterozygous. the chances will be different if it is hetero vs. homozygous.
ALso, just to be a knit picker… generally dominant allele would be for “not cancer” and the recessive trait would be ” cancer developing”. Recessive= bad things generally speaking in Genetics.
So, let me know if 1 parent is HETERO or HOMOZYGOUS Dominant for cancer, and then Ill figure it out.

What does it mean when marijuana gives you “lesions” in your lungs?
Question by Larry: What does it mean when marijuana gives you “lesions” in your lungs?
I was recently told that weed can’t kill you but it does give you lesions in your lungs that can cause infection, but they are not life threatning. What kind of infections would they be and are they serious? And if your lungs are infected, can it kill you? Cause then weed DOES kill people.
There’s a facebook application page called “I Don’t Smoke”. That’s where I heard it from. It’s on the discussion board. And if anyone smokes pot here, do you guys feel that your lungs have been injured or wounded by smoking it.

New Research Gives Hope to Asbestos Disease Sufferers
New Research Gives Hope to Asbestos Disease Sufferers
Article by Robbie Keano
New medical research, which has isolated a gene that appears to protect against lung cancer, has been welcomed by Asbestos campaigners as a potentially massive breakthrough.Mesothelioma, which is caused by ingesting asbestos dust, has resulted in the deaths of many former manual workers in the UK. Around 2000 people every year are diagnosed with the disease, resulting in a great cost to the NHS and terrible suffering for patients, who have to undergo chemotherapy and other cancer battling medical procedures.Breakthrough offers hopeThe scientists discovered that lung cancer samples they analysed were missing a gene called LIMD1, which they believe acts as a tumour depressant in the body.Ed Yong from Cancer Research UK commented that: “This study fills in another piece of the lung cancer puzzle. Now we know that LIMD1 is one of an elite group of genes that defend our cells against changes that could lead to cancer. “This breakthrough could have very significant implications for research into mesothelioma. Personal injury claimsMesothelioma is one of the major causes of personal injury claims related to work in the UK and many thousands of families have won compensation from their loved-ones former employers. This ruling was especially vital because mesothelioma takes many years to become apparent.In a recent case, a pensioner has been awarded a £250,000 payout after his wife was exposed to asbestos while washing his clothes. Patricia Eccles washed her husband Alfred’s clothes regularly for 10 years and the dust that built up on the ex-pipe fitters uniform caused her to develop the disease.”I’m angry with the company and myself, and feel guilty because Patricia caught the disease from my clothes. The money won’t bring Patricia back, but it will at least ensure Joanna’s care for the future,” said Mr. Eccles.With the damage caused each year by the disease, it is vital that progress is made towards preventing future cases and this looks more likely after this research according to Anne Craig.Mesothelioma Survival – What Are the Chances?Unfortunately, mesothelioma is an aggressive and usually fatal type of cancer that results from asbestos exposure. What are the chances for mesothelioma survival once a victim gets diagnosed? Sadly, not many victims of mesothelioma survive more than five years after the diagnosis has been made. Mesothelioma survival chances are increased if the disease is caught early. According to reliable sources, less than 10% of mesothelioma sufferers get the chance to survive more than 5 years, while about 40% of sufferers survive more than a year after diagnosis.As in all forms of cancer, <em>mesothelioma survival </em>rates depend on various factors. These include:* The current stage of the cancer. The stages of mesothelioma range from Stage One, which primarily means that the tumor is localized in the chest lining, to Stage Four, meaning that the tumor has spread to other vital organs.The malignant forms of mesothelioma are oftentimes diagnosed in sufferers above the age of 55. Mesothelioma is a serious condition which demands immediate medical attention. Although there is no proven cure for mesothelioma, various treatment options are available to prevent the disease from spreading and also to reduce pain and suffering for the victim.These treatment options may increase the chances for <em>mesothelioma survival</em>. Today, many experimental treatments are being evaluated throughout the world in controlled clinical trials. These include Photodynamic Therapy, Immunotherapy, Heat Therapy and Gene Therapy.Find more detailed reviews about asbestos attorney mesothelioma, asbestos lawyer mesothelioma, and asbestos disease.
