Re: Understanding Cancer

Question Re: critics cry "foul" to DO MAMMOGRAMS SAVE LIVES STUDY

I'd say that is a fair guess, JessicaV.

With the variations in radiologic practices and locations and facilities, I am wondering what is commonly done on a very widespread basis (no matter what...

Hi StephN,

You are most welcome. Sadly, Alaska is even further behind.... (time to apply more pressure to the behind!)

I would guess that the reason for your early warning was similar in its...

Re: Study explains control of cell metabolism in breast cancer

I wonder if the glutamine concept works well only with a taxane, or whether it would be meaningful for any other treatments.

I also wonder if there is any relationship they could identify as a...

One negative and very likely factor/probability affecting the question regarding mammograms is that in wanting to "think positive" about this question, we also tend to want to disregard the knowledge...

Question Re: early Christmas present--10 yr overall & bc specific survival results just publis
