Newsletter of cancer-news of 8 February 2012

8 February 2012

Dear all,

What coverage is more or less last month stood in the sign of immunotherapies with various forms of cancer. Like these at lymfklier cancer:

Irradiation-Zevalin and Bexxar radiotherapy plus immunotherapies with a.o. shows excellent approach for certain forms of cancer, including non-Hodgkin's lymfklier. Recent study added

and this: a significantly longer disease-free with vaccination BiovaxID cancer gives lymfklier time (non-Hodgkins-FL) phase III study shows

A certain form of immunotherapies is this too: in addition to trastuzumab-herceptin gives significant Lapatinib-Tykerb longer disease-free time and better overall survival than patients with breast cancer with positive only herceptin in Her2-Neu expression, but fails at novice breast cancer ,which stands out that precisely the combination works so well.

In that respect, made a visit to the IOZK in Cologne where a.o. dendritic cell therapy is given also called immunotherapies that clearly does not exclude other forms of treatment, perhaps correct really needs: Immunologisches und Onkologisches Zentrum Köln- IOZK-address data. In the IOZK you can go for immuuntherapeutische approach of cancer with dendritic cell therapy and Newcastle Disease Virus. Added report of visit to the IOZK

For endocrine tumors-there was also good news: carcinoid Everolimus plus octreotide for advanced neuro endocrine tumors (LAR) improves-carcinoidsyndroom-lower and middle stage progression free survival time. Results are even better afterre-analysis.

That a vaccination can stand proves this article for discussion, also ironically exactly a vaccination that is entered and is paid for: General HPV virus vaccines to prevent cervical cancer does not meet good scientific evidence and experts doubt more and more the usefulness of vaccination.

For prostate cancer, there was also a very good message: prove successful medications and to be MDV3100 abiraterone prostaatkankerpatienten for which the hormone therapy and/or chemotherapy is no longer working. Abiraterone has now been approved as medicine by FDA. MDV3100 will soon follow after new excellent results from large phase III study have been released

But this I find even more spectacular: Intensive physical activities of men with prostate cancer ensures demonstrable DNA repair and would explain why these men have much less chance of dying from their disease-61 percent-than anyone not as much physical activities do

because now proves what actually have long known that physical activity plays a large role in preventing a relapse with particular hormone related cancers, such as prostate cancer usually is: physical exercises brakes get prostate cancer prostate cancer growth and preventive works in 14 year study said large

For certain forms of a brain tumor, there was also good news: Chromosome abnormality- 1p19q codeletion-plays a crucial role in treating patients with a brain tumor-oligodendroglioom anaplastisch, when chemo is added to the irradiation. Survival time doubled from 7.4 to 14.7 years

Also RFA becomes more and more applied, also in Netherlands, as this study shows: RFA-Radio Frequency Ablation for inoperabele liver tumors from colon cancer turns out effective and even potentially a healing treatment, says Dutch long year study. 24% lived after 8 years for whom we want to have a doctor's address information as a contact from a Dutch academic hospital where people can do a consult to see if RFA may be a suitable treatment. It then goes mostly to cancer patients with liver tumors-intestinal and digestive cancer, including breast and longkankerpatienten nierkankerpatienten, but also others, eg. bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. can safely ask advice. Please send an email to redactie@kanker-actueel.nl but

A few years ago a beautiful message which I myself have experienced the benefits of is also this: hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves in most cases-with more than half full-chronic tissue damage caused by irradiation.

In continuation of the above article about hyperbaric oxygen is also this article interesting for bladder cancer patients: radiation therapy-carbogen and nicotinamide irradiation at bladder cancer supplemented with vitamin B-form of disease-free and overall survival time increases significantly, says randomized phase II study

And by popular request, once again the link to: http://www.kanker-actueel.nl/NL/videofilm-zo-nodig-dwars-drie-eigenzinnige-zoektochten-naar-genezing-van-kanker-nu-ook-online-te-zien-en-blijft-voorbeeld-voor-andere-kankerpatienten.html

There is actually much more to tell but I stop otherwise this newsletter so long. Waarschijnljik will be the next newsletter so all about two to three weeks.

And then if you want to help yet again repeated: with your choices for a treatment of cancer or help with a second opinion, we still offer our assistance to via a coachingsgesprek. Last week a nice message. A cancer patient with veruitgezaaide rectum cancer (79 years) who got to hear in October 2011 to be terminally ill and with a very short life expectancy, after a second opinion back together where we have gone with his sons, managed with vitamin C, hyperthermia, certain nutritional supplementation on intravenous solutions are complementary that his largest liver tumor of Xeloda. 12 cm to 8 cm. is shrunken and also other tumors were narrowed. That's not by me but because he and his sons still chose the best least invasive option and the best care and his sons so terribly good for their father worry. And that gives me a really good feeling that this people their lives or that of their loved ones just give a better quality. It remains, of course, always a personal decision but often can an objective ear and eye, in this case of mine, also from own experiences help someone in that decision. Join him in any case. And the oncologist is also very satisfied.

And as always last that ask for money. I still think it is always difficult but we need if we want to continue to exist: we send this newsletter to nearly 3,000 people, as everyone now agrees with the first time next visit a donation would do-if you haven't done so already, because there are also entire loyal donors-then we would already be a long way from the annual cost. So please support us. Again any contribution however small is welcome: http://kanker-actueel.nl/idealdonatie.php and we are an ANBI organization so you can deduct your donation in principle of the tax.
