Is a Late Stage Ovarian Cancer Patient Alive 19 Years Later Because of Serendipity?
Is a Late Stage Ovarian Cancer Patient Alive 19 Years Later Because of Serendipity?
A late stage German ovarian cancer patient, who was given months to live, in 1987 was injected with a then-experimental bio tech drug. The monoclonal antibody was being used to track tumors in the ovarian cancer patients body. Instead, it may lead to a breakthrough treatment for ovarian cancer patients. [PRWEB

Do fruits and vegetables have much impact against breast cancer risk?
A: No. There are two things going on here. One is the likelihood that the relationship is true and another is the strength of the relationship. Although we think the relationship between vegetables and breast cancer is real, the impact isn't huge.
There isn't a lot about diet, weight, etc., that has a big impact on breast cancer. I'm sure we're missing something, but we haven't yet worked out what is going on. There's no question that gaining weight after menopause raises the risk. And we know that hormones and reproduction are really important because women who start puberty early or go through menopause late have a higher risk, and women who bear children at a young age have a lower risk. Rapid growth in childhood and adolescence also raise the risk.
