National Cancer Institute Honors Dr. Marguerite Raaen With A Scientific Achievement Merit Award
National Cancer Institute Honors Dr. Marguerite Raaen With A Scientific Achievement Merit Award
At the NCI?s ceremony in 2005, Dr. Marguerite Raaen was honored with a Scientific Achievement Merit Award for her central contribution to the NCI's first Integration / Implementation (I2) of a cancer imaging repository, and her scientific leadership in developing a suite of enterprise-wide imaging initiatives that support NCI Director Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach's goal to cure cancer by 2015. The unique aspect of this award to Dr. Raaen is that it is normally given for medical or pharmaceutical breakthroughs. Her award for computer science breakthroughs recognized the very significant leadership and technology accomplishments in architecting the system, programming the functions, and negotiating the kinds of agreements required for this shared data repository across 60 US cancer research centers. This national radiological repository for storing clinical data will enable more researchers to contribute and utilize the latest in national cancer research. [PRWEB

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.
