|
| Abstract : Why is modern medicine going nowhere in its attempts to treat breast cancer? Our research has found that the answer to this question lies primarily with the politics of medicine, the cancer industry, and the industries that create the pollutants that contribute to breast cancer. We believe that the only way to truly prevent and treat breast cancer is to go outside the current way of doing things in medicine and stop the wholesale pollution of our planet with petrochemicals, but the forces that would keep things the same are very powerful and entrenched. |

| Title : CANCER: Mammography and the politics of randomised controlled trials |
|
| Author : Jane Wells |
|
| Website : http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/317/7167/1224?eaf |
|
| Abstract : Randomised controlled trials of the effectiveness of screening mammography have found that it significantly reduces mortality in women over 50 but that the benefit is smaller, and the associated harm is greater, in younger women. In the United States many organisations have issued guidelines on screening for women aged 40-49, some groups recommend that they should be screened regularly and others that they should not.Many politicians, professional and voluntary groups, and individuals (including some healthcare professionals, journalists, women with breast cancer, and researchers) disagreed with this recommendation, and pressure was exerted on the National Cancer Institute to recommend regular screening for all women aged 40-49. |

| Title : CANCER: Maybe it’s not too late |

|
| Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and the incidence is increasing. According to BreastScreen Aotearoa, at least 10% of women can expect to get it. However, little has been done to inform women how to minimize their risks, or what to do once diagnosed other than having treatment aimed at tumour destruction. This is partly due to orthodox cancer research being controlled by a pharmaceutical industry that with radiotherapy and surgery, has maintained a monopoly on treatment instead of prevention, and especially where the latter involves non-patented means. Treatment has thus been directed at tumour destruction with scant attention to the environment surrounding the tumour, namely the person that somehow permitted the cancer to develop. There has been very little genuine research into cancer prevention apart from the common-sense and non-competitive advice to stop smoking and to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. However, the possibility of firstly diagnosing a breast cancer state before a tumour develops would obviously be a major step forward, especially if reversal out of the cancer-producing mode into a healthier one was included. Secondly, those that are unfortunately diagnosed with cancer face major decisions as to what to do and this booklet will hopefully be of some help. |

| Title : CHEMOTHERAPY: The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies |
|
| Author : Graeme Morgan, Robyn Ward and Michael Barton |
|
| Website : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WXW-4DTTF3S.... |
|
| Abstract : The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA. As the 5-year relative survival rate for cancer in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival. To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required. |

|
| Abstract : An Australian study suggests that the benefits of chemotherapy have been oversold … These were some of the questions posed by Dr Norman Swan when he presented the Health Report on ABC Radio National on 18 April 2005. Dr Swan was quizzing Associate Professor Graeme Morgan, the lead author of a controversial article entitled 'The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies'. This article reported that chemotherapy has improved survival by less than 3% in adults with cancer.

| Title : DIET: Corn oil, omega-6 could speed up prostate cancer, study |
|
| Author : Lorraine Heller |
|
| Website : http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/news/ng.asp?n=65537-omega-corn-oil-pr.... |
|
| Abstract : Omega-6 fatty acids speed up the growth of prostate tumor cells in the laboratory, according to a study published in today’s issue of Cancer Research. Increased consumption of omega-6 fatty acids, found in corn oil and most of the oils used in bakery products, could be a reason for the rise in incidence of prostate cancer in recent years, say the researchers. |
