Reducing Cancer Disparities One Patient at a Time
"Electra D. Paskett, PhD, and her team are working with 12 primary care practices throughout Columbus to recruit 1,200 patients with abnormal cancer screening results. Patients at six of the clinics can choose to receive patient navigator assistance, while patients at the other six clinics will receive usual care, in the form of written materials.
The study will concentrate on cancers for which screening tests are available: breast, cervix, and colon."

Study Links Breast Cancer Decline to Quitting Hormones
"The new findings show that breast cancer rates stabilized at that new lower level between 2003 and 2004 -- as did use of HRT. Moreover, the decline in breast cancer incidence was seen only in women 50 or older (those most likely to have used hormone therapy) and was greater for estrogen-receptor-positive tumors (the kind fueled by hormone therapy) compared to those with no estrogen receptors.
This suggests that declining hormone use was the primary factor behind the drop in breast cancer, according to lead researcher Peter Ravdin, PhD, MD, and his colleagues."
