Hormone Replacement Therapy: Better Survival With Colorectal Cancer

REFERENCE: J Clin Oncol 24:5680-5686
GEORGE CANELLOS, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston
Using postmenopausal estrogen replacement before the diagnosis of colorectal cancer was associated with better cancer-specific and overall mortality. This is the finding of a study by Jennifer Chan and colleagues from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Peter Goodwin talked with George Canellos about the finding and its implications for therapy.

High-Dose Chemotherapy With Stem Cell Rescue: No Benefit as First-Line Therapy in Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors

REFERENCE: J Clin Oncol 25: 247-256
GEORGE CANELLOS, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston
No advantage has emerged from high-dose chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with poor- and intermediate-risk metastatic germ cell tumors. A phase III randomized study comparing high-dose with standard-dose chemotherapy has been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by a group led by Robert Motzer of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. George Canellos discusses these findings with Peter Goodwin and puts them into context with other recent related study findings.

    Health For All 30 Years After Alma Ata? Mental Health And War»
    AliaIbrahim Zai, Egbert Sondorp, Gill Walt, Lucy Gilson, Ravi Narayan, Richard Horton, Vikram Patel, Willem Van De Put
    Two important symposia have been held in London to discuss healthcare issues posing significant dilemmas to world leaders in the 21st Century. "The Future of Primary Health Care" was attended by public health experts from around the Globe to assess the best options for improving primary health care in the future. It was held on the 30th anniversary of the Alma Ata Declaration made in 1977 which was intended as a blueprint for health provision and identified primary health care as the means through which the global goal of "Health for All" could be achieved. The second meeting, on "Mental Health in Fragile States", was held to raise the profile of mental health care in zones where conflict has taken place or is still happening. Analyses of the key issues and how to deal with them effectively were discussed by top experts from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and associated organisations. Peter Goodwin attended both meetings and talked with some of the key speakers.
