in Esophageal Cancer #1
I'm going to be working on a Christmas letter this weekend. It will be going to some that have not heard about Larry's EC. I want to include a "public service message" about the increase in EC, correlation with gastric reflux, symptoms, etc. Is there a nice concise statement I can use?

    ECAN has some great information
    Angie,

    The Esophageal Cancer Action Network (ECAN) has excellent information about esophageal cancer and the specifics and statistics about causes, treatment, and future research objectives. You can find their web site at:

    ECAN Home Page

    Here is a good overview of the growth in EC diagnosis over the last few years:

    Links?
    Paul,

    How are you adding "live" links in your posts?

    Thanks!

    I add the active links by using HTML code
    Terry,

    I add active links to my posts by bracketing them with the actual HTML Code that tells the web browser that they are web addresses. If you send me a PM with your email address, I can send you a word document with an example of the hypertext Markup Code (HTML) required to do this.

    I can't include an example in a post because when it is embedded in a post the browser interprets and hides the HTML code.

    Regards,

    Paul

    Heartburn causes Cancer
    I might start with the above statement and then go from there. And yes, ECAN has a lot of info .
