COMMENT: JULIE GRALOW, University of Washington, Seattle
The ASCO meeting in Chicago heard findings from Germany that suggested MRI was better than mammography for the detection of ductal carcinoma in situ, or preinvasive breast cancer. Derek Thorne spoke to Christiane Kuhl, from the University of Bonn, about her team’s provocative data, while Julie Gralow of the University of Washington commented on how this study could affect clinical practice.

No Increase in Time of Cardiac Toxicity From Trastuzumab

PRIYA RASTOGI, University of Pittsburgh
COMMENT: JULIE GRALOW, University of Washington, Seattle
The latest data from the large NSABP B-31 trial, which looked at trastuzumab in breast cancer, have provided some reassurance that the drug’s cardiac toxicity does not continue to grow over time. Priya Rastogi of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine told Derek Thorne about the findings, and she also explained her group’s new model, which could help doctors assess the risk to patients in this situation. Julie Gralow commented on her findings.

    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.
