All,

Below is a link to a Newsweek article titled --- Curing Cancer
What treatable tumors can teach us about improving the odds in the deadliest cases.

An interesting article that talks about genetic testing of tumors to treat cancer --- (for instance I believe that EC patients should get their tumors tested for the HER2 receptor so that herceptin can be added to the treatment - and they should be tested for the EGFR to see if an Erbitux trial might be available or if it is ever approved for EC then the drug as a treatment option)

Cut and paste the link below into your browser to get the article the CSN website doesn't support hyperlinks. Best to everyone, Cindy

    Great information
    Thank you for the link to that article. I've included it in every email I've sent out since. I addition I send links to this site, and some others. People need to know about this. We need more research so we have more survivors.

    In the Stand up for Cancer program they said one in three women will get cancer, and one in two men, that is a staggering reality of this disease.

    Once again, thank you for this, it was very informative.

    Rob
