Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss a newly proposed bill by Republican Eric Turner in Indiana that would require doctors to (incorrectly) tell women that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. The bill would also require that doctors discuss ‘fetal pain’ and show women an ultrasound. |

Follow us on Twitter http – Vaccine for Serious Canine Cancer – Canine Maligant Melanoma – Nears Reality – Although a cancer diagnosis is certainly scary for us, many people are equally frightened by the thought of their pet having an unusual growth. Recent research may be providing new exciting resources in the fight against cancer of pets and people. There are many types of cancer, but humans and dogs share an extremely dangerous type known as a melanoma. Melanoma arises in the skin and can spread to distant organs through the circulatory system. It is considered to be dangerous because of its rapid spread and resistance to chemotherapy. Treatment in pets and people is often limited, especially in later stages. Melanoma can frequently be found on the dog’s skin, but it is the oral version of this cancer that is most concerning to veterinarians. Canine malignant melanoma is the most common type of oral cancer in the dog and can account for almost 5% of all cancers that veterinarians diagnose. Caught early, surgery can help treat melanoma, but the outlook is not good for dogs whose cancer is diagnosed late or has spread to other organs. In the battle to help combat this disease, a unique collaboration has occurred between The Animal Medical Center in New York and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. By studying the effects of an experimental type of vaccine used in dogs with melanoma, both groups …

| “Just Like Jill” Lung Cancer Campaign: Think You Know Lung Cancer? Think Again! Posted: 06 Aug 2011 09:48 PM PDT
 Many people think they know what Lung Cancer is — who gets it — and who doesn’t. Throw everything you think out the window. Time. For. A. Major. Update. Actually, way beyond time. This is 22 year-old Jill Costello. This is the NEW face of Lung Cancer. That’s right, Lung Cancer doesn’t care how old you are, whether you’ve ever smoked or not. Just like Jill, ANYONE can get Lung Cancer. ANYONE! Jill’s diagnosis isn’t a fluke and her story, unfortunately, isn’t one we had to dig deep to find. In fact, 60% of new Lung Cancer patients have never smoked (Just like Jill) or are former smokers who quit decades ago. Lung Cancer is no longer just a smoker’s disease. It is now “equal opp.” So, how can it be that the nation’s the #1 cancer killer of both men and women is still the LEAST funded of the four major cancers? How can it be that Lung Cancer’s 5-year survival rate has remained unchanged for more than 40 years—at only 15.5%? We can no longer ignore Lung Cancer or use the myth of smoking to blame. We have an epidemic on our hands that needs to take center stage on the global cancer agenda. This is exactly what Jill Costello wants to do, by graciously sharing her Lung Cancer journey and lending her name to this campaign for change. Jill was diagnosed with stage IV Lung Cancer at the age of 21. She has never smoked. Jill recently graduated from UC Berkeley, where she was coxswain on Cal’s Women’s (rowing) Crew, and despite 20+ rounds of chemo and 14 radiation treatments, she …

Dr. Shane Chapman, MD discusses Skin Metastasis Lung, Colon, Melanoma, Renal. See more at www.dermnet.com PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!! LUNG Historically, lung carcinoma is more common in men than women. There is a localized cluster of cutaneous non-specific nodules, most often on the anterior chest or abdomen. The diagnosis of lung cancer usually precedes the diagnosis of metastasis to the skin. COLON AND RECTAL Colon and rectal carcinoma is the second most common source of skin metastases in both genders. It usually presents late in the disease course. The abdomen and perineum are the most common sites. Less commonly, it may present as inflammatory metastatic carcinoma of the inguinal folds or as a chronic cutaneous fistula. MELANOMA Melanoma is the third most common cause of metastasis to the skin. Melanoma typically invades the liver, lungs and brain but may also show up at distant cutaneous sites. Skin is the most common primary site of melanoma, followed by ocular and mucosal sites. There are cases of systemic or metastatic melanoma without a primary cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma that is metastatic to the skin typically appears as small 2-5 mm blue papules resembling blue berries. Hundreds of lesions may be present in advanced cases. RENAL CELL CARCINOMA Renal cell carcinoma comprises 7.0 % of all cutaneous metastases. It is notorious for presenting as a scalp nodule and most commonly presents on the head and neck region. A well-circumscribed, bluish nodule with … |
