An article in a popular German magazine "Der Spiegel" (October 4, 2004) an article with this title: The Cure Poison useless. He says, "more sophisticated and expensive cellular poisons are given to severely ill patients ... Patients do not actually live one more day." At first impression I thought the article was rather rash on the so-called noble "effort" of interest in a cure for cancer. My perception is there for many changesReading - I'm beginning to wonder if the effort really fancy or anything else - made a deception in the name of science?
And 'well known that breast cancer and all over the world is a dreaded disease common in women. In the U.S. alone, it is said that every year 180,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 44,000 die. This works to diagnose breast cancer by almost 25% of death. Why 25% of them die? What happensall the searches you do and the hype that a cure is just around the corner?
In Malaysia and elsewhere, women with breast cancer undergo a prescription of standard treatments - surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonal oral administration of drugs. I was shocked when told by a bank manager that the doctor $ 50,000 in state- of-the-art-Package Deal her breast cancer to cure her breast cancer after finding a lump in her. This offer wasmade, even before a transaction carried out.
Chemotherapy for breast cancer are often based on anthracycline. Perhaps people with breast cancer are more familiar with these names: CA (Andriamycin + cyclophosphamide), CAF (cyclophosphamide + adriamycin + 5-FU), CEF (cyclophosphamide + epirubicin + 5-FU). The patients, such therapy is said that this is the state of-the-art treatment. It 'been proven scientifically. The effectiveness of thesesubjected to a treatment of peer review and published in peer-reviewed. The patient's treatment can prevent the further spread of the disease can be cured.
pretreated patients accept their doctors words' with good faith. In countries where medical treatments are not paid by the government, must find the patient, his money to pay medical expenses. Some people have to sell their home, land or jewelry to finance his quest for a cure.
It 's very shockingfor learning that took place in a closed session of a small group of people during the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago (2007), Dr. Dennis Slamon, director of oncology at the University of California at Los Angeles that his research was found that the chemotherapy drugs such as Andriamycin, anthracyclines beneficial, which is not more than 92% of patients with breast cancer. Dr. Slamon Research has shown that the most widely used chemotherapy drug, can notwomen benefit most. For no benefit, but one thing is not free, and get a drug that has severe side effects caused another issue. These anthracyclines are known to be dangerous because they are known by heart damage or even cause secondary cancers such as leukemia.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) - a grassroots advocacy in the United States, issued this statement (May 2007) on his website: "NBCC calls on the community, OncologyReassessment of the use of anthracycline-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. "
The coalition called "good time to do away with anthracycline drugs. Drugs that benefit only a small percentage - just 8% - from breast cancer patients whose breast strengthen cooperation and Her2 gene TopoII. This point is well repeat: only the patients tested positive for Her2 and benefit TopoIIanthracycline-based chemotherapy.
If the medical community is willing to change his ways of testing for breast cancer treatment, in the light of this research? The NBCC says: While the medical oncology community include additional processing speed, change is extremely cautions in the other direction, direction, even if the evidence justifies this treatment. "Meanwhile, women with breast cancer are subject to complex and expensive treatments for toxicsimply not necessary. "
Comment
The jury is made. The choice is clear. Women have a choice. Make this choice wisely. Find out for yourself whether chemotherapy is being offered is to benefit, or is it a cure expensive, unnecessary and dangerous toxic that it is not necessary.
