Patients with incurable cancer are often not clearly informed of what they stand to gain from palliative chemotherapy, according to the study results published in BMJ Online First. As a result, British investigators say, patients may lack sufficient knowledge make a decision based on informed consent.

Looks like "strike two" for some Wiffle ball players in Connecticut. You'll recall they built a ball field in Greenwich, but then the town tore it down and offered a new place to play. However, that field is raising concerns about asbestos.

Fwd: Imaging of primary malignant tumors of peritoneal and retroperitoneal origin.

[1]Cancer Treat Res. 2008; 143: 281-97
Hinshaw JL, Pickhardt PJ

Peritoneal carcinomatosis and metastatic involvement of the retroperitoneum are relatively common manifestations of many organ-based malignancies and lymphoproliferative disorders. Primary malignancies of peritoneal and retroperitoneal origin occur much less frequently, and can be difficult to distinguish from metastatic disease. In many cases, a precise diagnosis based on imaging findings alone is not possible. However, the imaging features of these primary tumors, in combination with the clinical and demographic data, can be utilized to narrow the scope of the differential diagnosis. This chapter will present the clinical and imaging features of primary peritoneal and retroperitoneal tumors arising from the various tissue components that comprise the ligaments, mesenteries and connective tissues of these anatomic spaces.

Fwd: Hypericin lights up the way for the potential treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer by photodynamic therapy.

[1]Curr Clin Pharmacol. 2006 Sep; 1(3): 217-22
Olivo M, Du HY, Bay BH

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the administration of a photosensitizer followed by light irradiation with a specific wavelength, giving rise to irreversible tissue destruction. Hypericin, a herbal extract derived from Hypericum perforatum or St. John's Wort, has minimal toxicity but exhibits potent photo-damaging effects in the presence of light. Hypericin is known to generate a high yield of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species that are associated with photo-oxidative cellular damage. The application of PDT with hypericin for the treatment of cancers such as recurrent mesothelioma and skin cancer has been validated in clinical trials. This mini-review focuses on the investigative studies of hypericin as a potential photodynamic agent in the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) in in vitro and in vivo models. NPC is an enigmatic tumor with a multifactorial etiology and a high incidence in the populations of Southern China.
