Une mise à jour des gens à soixante-dix K : Si vous vivez dans le contrôle de la Californie ceci dehors !
Soixante-dix K est une nouvelle campagne pour soulever la conscience au sujet du manque de droites que les patients adolescents et jeunes du cancer d'adulte (AYA), ces âges 15 39, ont dans le monde médical organisé. Les patients d'AYA, particulièrement ceux dans la fin plus jeune du spectre, tendent à tomber par les fissures d'être considéré un patient pédiatrique ou d'adulte de cancer, et parfois des lacunes de visage dans les services et les traitements. Développé par le Dr. L'expéditeur de Leonard, un spécialiste en Cancer d'AYA, le projet de SeventyK inclut une déclaration des droits AYA-spécifique qui s'assureront que les patients adolescents et jeunes de cancer d'adulte ont des programmes proportionnés et spécifiques de traitement, semblables à ceux développés pour les enfants en bas âge et les patients de cancer d'adulte.
En outre, Dr. Expéditeur, qui travaille au L'hôpital des enfants du comté orange et au Université de centre médical de la Californie - d'Irvine, parlera à monter libre spécial d'événement.

Cephalon wins U.S. Approval For Leukemia Drug

Boulder, Colorado is home to Cici, a pink poodle. Yes. Pink. Cici is regularly dyed with organic beet juice to encourage conversation about The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and hopefully donations for breast cancer research. Not everyone appreciates the pink poodle and Joy Douglas, Cici’s owner has a court date and apparently could be fined as much as $1,000.
The full article is available in the Denver Post, March 11, 2008, Boulder’s pink poodle owner preps for a legal fight.
Since Wednesday’s post on Cancer in the News, I’ve talked to several authors and publicists regarding books featured here. Next week, thanks to their generosity, I will be giving away books.
Until then, here is a sneak peak.
I will be giving away a copy of New York Times, best selling author, Sherryl Woods’ new release, Seaview Inn.
From Publisher’s Weekly, “New York PR exec Hannah Mathews is in remission from the same disease that claimed her mother’s life months before: breast cancer. She heads south in an attempt to persuade her 85-year-old grandma, Jenny, to sell the Seaview Inn, the Florida Keys resort owned by her family for decades, and move into a retirement home. Spry and headstrong, Grandma Jenny isn’t ready to be put out to pasture, intending to spruce up the inn and reopen for business. Hannah’s daughter Kelsey, turns up pregnant; she plans to drop out of college, live at Seaview and put her baby up for adoption. Surgeon Luke Stevens, Hannah’s high school crush, shows up shortly thereafter, fresh from a stint in war-torn Iraq and carrying his own set of emotional baggage. A seasoned romance novelist of more than 100 titles, Woods is a master heartstring puller, and her endearingly flawed characters must deal with their plethora of problems in a predictable but satisfying manner.”
Additionally, check out Sherryl’s blog, Just Between Friends, where she recently held a contest and donated funds for the Susan G. Komen:For The Cure, in honor of a survivor or in memory of a loved one who lost the fight against breast cancer, and features stories from the contest on the blog.
Battling Cancer isn’t just about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It’s also about education and prevention for everyone.
Why?
As we previously reported, health care coverage is linked to cancer survival outcomes. Since the American Cancer Society released this groundbreaking report, Battling Cancer has been following recent developments on the link between cancer, insurance and mortality rates:
Federal officials are being asked to answer why they gave an “all clear status” to a toxic waste dump in Pennsylvania’s Schukill County after a report given at the the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting stated that the number of rare cancer diagnoses in inhabitants living nearby was “statistically improbable.”
The site, a former mine, was used as a dumping ground for paint sludge, solvents, and other potential carcinogens, before being shut down in 1979. Later, the area was classified as a Superfund site by the Environment Protection Agency.
The American Cancer Society released a report today linking lack of health care coverage with poorer survival outcomes in cancer patients.
Published in the January/February issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, the report shows that although Americans are experiencing lower cancer-related mortality rates overall due to better screening and detection methods, education and prevention tactics, and treatment approaches, uninsured patients are still 1.6 times more likely to die within five years than privately insured patients.
According to The National Health Interview Survey, the two age groups most likely to go without health insurance are adults aged 18 - 24 and 25 - 34. The same report also found that nearly half of individuals in low-income households were without insurance within a year of being surveyed and that Hispanic and American Indian households were also more likely to be uninsured than other demographic groups.
