Hi Ladies:

Just wanted to post some info on two newer treatment modalities. I'm sure that some of you are already aware of them but other's may not be:

RADIATION: Helical tomotherapy. This new approach is being used at 9 centers in the US and Canada right now.
Contact Info:
Dr. Patrick Kupelian
MD Anderson Cancer Center, Orlando Fla.
(321) 841-2409 or www.mdandersonorlando.org

CHEMO: Perfusion Therapy
Contact:
Claire Collins, Asst. Director, News
University of Pittsburg Medical Center
www.upmc.edu

Not applicable for everyone but these two modalities are showing some great results thus far, according to the literature, so thought it was well worth sharing here so anyone interested may investigate further.

Love, light and laughter,
Ink
