treatments for multiple sclerosis. It works by helping to form a fatty white coating
called myelin, which is destroyed by the immune system in people with MS.
Title: Gene May Help Spur Breast Cancer's Spread

Description: Multiple copies of a gene
called uPAR are associated with the spread of early-stage breast cancer, U.S. researchers
report. The gene offers a promising target for drugs to slow or halt the progression of
the disease, says a team from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at

Title: Dietary Vitamin E derivative may be effective for treating and
preventing breast cancer
Url: http://www.azcc.arizona.edu/docs/2006%20press%20releases/Vit%20E_Mouse%20food.pdf
Description: Researchers from the Arizona
Cancer Center have identified a chemically altered form of Vitamin E that demonstrates
anticancer properties in mice. Emmanuel T. Akporiaye, Ph.D,, and Tobias Hahn, Ph.D,
Department of Immunobiology, and their colleagues from the Department of Chemistry,
College of Pharmacy, and BIO5 Institute for Collaborative Bioresearch, created a
fat-soluble Vitamin E derivative and incorporated it into the diet of mice with mammary
cancer. Mice eating the Vitamin E-enriched “chow” showed reduction of tumor
volume, and an even greater effect was seen when the chow was eaten as a cancer
preventive. This is the first study to demonstrate the ability of this synthetic compound
to prevent and treat tumors when given as a dietary supplement.
Title: Arizona Cancer Center researchers discovering how a high fiber diet may
be more effective at preventing colon cancer in men than in women
Url: http://www.azcc.arizona.edu/docs/2006%20press%20releases/fiber_Jacobs%20(2).pdf
Description: A collaborative effort between
the Arizona Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute to understand the influence of
diet on recurrence of colorectal adenomas - a precursor to cancer - indicates that a high
fiber diet may be more important for men than women. Although the reason for a sex
difference is unknown, researchers suggest that it may be related to hormonal effects or
the difference between the sexes in location of polyp formation.

Description: Een groep onderzoekers van de
National Institutes of Health in de Verenigde Staten komt in een recente publicatie in het
toonaangevende tijdschrift Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences met
opmerkelijke bevindingen voor vitamine C bij de behandeling van kanker. In celkweken met
tien typen kankercellen en vier normale celtypen werden de cellen gedurende een uur
blootgesteld aan verschillende concentraties vitamine C in de vorm van natriumascorbaat.
Vervolgens werd de opgetreden celsterfte gemeten.
Title: Smoking Linked to Complications in Prostate Cancer Treatment

Description: Smoking has been found to
contribute to poorer outcomes for people treated for many kinds of cancer and now,
researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have associated smoking and acute side-effects
following radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Title: Multiple deaths forces cancer trial to be called off

Description: Cell Therapeutics a
biotechnology firm based in Seattle has called off further enrollment for the clinical
trial it had initiated early this year following the untimely deaths of few of the
patients who were participating in the clinical trial to prove the efficacy of the cancer
drug Xyotax.
Title: Video - Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Url: http://www.mayo.edu/webcasts/ram/061101edge.wvx
Description: More women are beating breast
cancer than ever before. That's thanks to better treatments and early detection.
Mammography is a pretty good screening tool that can pick up cancer early, while it's
still curable with surgery. But there is a type of breast cancer that often doesn't show
up on mammograms. It's called inflammatory breast cancer. It strikes fast and spreads
quickly. But IBC can be stopped if you know the signs and symptoms.
Title: New Treatment for Liver Cancer
Url: http://www.mayo.edu/webcasts/ram/061104edge.wvx
Description: Doctors at Mayo Clinic have a
new weapon in the fight against liver cancer. It's a type of radiation that directly
targets the tumor without typical side effects.
Title: Smoking and Inflammatory Bowel Disease - A Meta-analysis
Url: http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/Abstract.asp?AID=4198&Abst=Abstract&UID=
Description: This is the first
meta-analysis, to our knowledge, to evaluate the relationship between smoking and IBD
using accepted quality standards for meta-analysis reporting. Our metaanalyses confirm
that smoking is an important environmental factor in IBD with differing effects in UC and
CD. By using predefined inclusion criteria and testing for homogeneity, the current
analysis provides an estimate of the effect of smoking on both these forms of IBD.

Title: Six ingredients for inflammation
Url: http://ffnmag.com/ASP/articleDisplay.asp?strArticleId=1154&strSite=FFNSITE&Screen=CURRENTISSUE
Description: Coronary heart disease, major
depression, ageing and cancer are just some of the conditions characterised by an
increased level of pro-inflammatory markers and mediators such as cytokines and
eicosanoids. With pharmaceutical cox-2 inhibitors down for the count from their side
effects, natural bioactives are just now coming into their own. Additional research will
continue to tease out the mechanism of action for many natural ingredients, and may well
find anti-inflammatory effects at their core.

Description: Mix the wrong hand in the game
of genetic poker with a dietary ingredient — say, gluten, a storage protein present
in wheat and comprising a family of proteins called gliadins — perhaps especially in
the first few months of life, and coeliac disease (CD) may manifest.

Description: Drinking fruit and vegetable
juice regularly may help to delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, findings from a
10-year study suggest. A study of some 1,800 Japanese living in America aged 65 and above
found that those who drank juice three or more times weekly had a much lower risk of
developing the disease.
Title: Fish oil supplements seem to help Alzheimer's patients
Url: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/living/15943250.htm
Description: This study randomly as-signed
204 people diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's to take fish oil supplements or a placebo
daily. After six months, standardized tests of cognitive abilities showed similar declines
in both groups. However, among only those with very mild cognitive dysfunction, people
taking the supplements showed virtually no change, while the others declined.
