Unraveling Brain Tumors - Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
July 24, 2008 (Science Daily) Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising strategy to eliminate tumors and prevents them from re-growing. The researchers have found that drugs that block new blood vessel formation can destroy the protected areas and stop cancer from developing.

Hormone Therapy Not Shown to Benefit Older Patients with Early Prostate Cancer
July 16, 2008 (American Cancer Society) A study of nearly 20,000 men aged 66 and older with early-stage prostate cancer found that those who were prescribed androgen deprivation hormone therapy instead of other treatments were no better off than their counterparts who adopted a "wait and see" approach. However, younger men who aren't good candidates for surgery or radiation should still consider the therapy, which reduces androgen levels and often makes prostate cancers shrink or grow more slowly.

MediGuide works closely with medical centers facilitating the delivery
of Second Opinion in an orderly and efficient fashion. We carefully
study patient needs to assure the selection of the medical center
best suited for a particular medical condition, assist in the collection
and transfer of medical records in an exact format required by a
medical center, and secure reimbursement for the remote Second Opinion
consultation. We minimize the hassle and distraction to medical
center physicians and administrative personnel, which often occurs,
when poorly guided and sometimes panicked patient or relatives try
to secure a consultation from a famous center.
MediGuide provides medical centers with a channel for sharing years of experience and the latest advances in medicine with colleagues on the front-lines of healthcare delivery.
Although for many, cost is the most important factor in selecting a center for diagnostics and treatment, MediGuide facilitates patient choice of a medical center only on the merits of available expertise and quality of care, guaranteeing quick and seamless payment to the medical center in exchange for efficient and prompt service.
MediGuide created and continues enhancing a global directory and inventory of provider skills.
