Unfortunately we're finding that ordsprog

Unfortunately, we're finding that [the TRUS biopsy] is really not very effective at all. When you look at the statistics of a normal size gland the chances of actually finding that tumor are about 15 percent. So, 85 percent of patients by that biopsy method may be missing their cancer.

It's like playing Battleship with the prostate. Every hole that we have has a coordinate, and we can place the needle through that. We have a picture that overlays and shows us the prostate and where that biopsy's being taken from. Then, we can basically look at the picture when we get a positive biopsy back and see exactly where the cancer is in the gland.

One of the longstanding problems in medicine is how to cure cancer without harming normal body tissue. Standard chemotherapy destroys cancer cells and normal cells alike. That's why patients often lose their hair and suffer numerous other side effects. For us, the Holy Grail would be finding a way to selectively kill cancer cells and not damage healthy ones.

Colonoscopy has proven to be an effective method for preventing colorectal cancer by detecting and removing polyps that have the potential to develop into colorectal cancer as well as finding early cancers that are more effectively treated.

They did a chest CAT scan for him and a back MRI and some blood tests and it didn't show any cancer. He refused a biopsy in order to determine if he really has cancer or not [of the prostate],

One of the potential uses we envision is to use the ART treatment as a way to use tumor components to immunize cancer patients against their own cancer cells, ... The current problem with this treatment strategy is that the tumor gives off a variety of soluble products which we don't fully understand, but which we know wreck havoc on the immune system by suppressing its various components. If we can use the ART drugs to increase the number of newly produced T cells in cancer patients first, we can potentially improve the likelihood of getting a cancer vaccine to work.

Obviously nothing is 100 percent effective. But we know that doing nothing is 100 percent ineffective. You can try a variety of different devices or electronic monitoring systems, but at the end of the day, if you don't have somebody on the ground who is able to distinguish what is normal and what is out of the ordinary, your chances of defeating those terrorists is pretty slim.

Approximately 30 percent to 40 percent of patients with advanced laryngeal cancer will not be cured with chemotherapy and radiation. The survival rates for such patients have traditionally been poor. She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world. That's why these patients should be identified as early as possible. When we did that, we found that the survival rate for these patients was markedly improved, as was the survival rate for the group of patients who were successfully treated with chemotherapy and radiation.

We find that a lot of them have very significant cancer that needs to be treated but wouldn't have been treated unless we had done this biopsy.

One of the challenges you will face is finding a job in our depressed economy, ... In fact, the chances of finding a job are about as good as finding weapons of mass destruction in the Iraqi desert -- slim and none, and slim just left the building.

Will Ferrell (1967-)

Twelve hours. It can stretch out forever when you're waiting to hear the report on a biopsy. It can literally evaporate when it's the last hours spent with a dying loved one. Or, it can bring hundreds of people together in the fight against cancer through Relay for Life.

Sheila Blankenship

While India is poised to receive an 11 percent downturn in infectious diseases in 2006, the country would witness a 35 percent growth in diabetic patients and 18 percent growth in cardiovascular patients.

Robert Beaglehole

We used MRI to visualize individual macrophages. By tracking single cells, we also were able to observe, for the first time, that rejection progresses from the outside of the heart to the inside. Up to now, this phenomenon hasn't been observed in pre-clinical or clinical research because biopsy samples are very limited in location and size.

Went in for a biopsy and they definitely determined it was malignant.
