Decrease in Breast Cancer Has Experts Asking, "WHI?"
The recent National Cancer Institute report showing a major downturn in breast cancer rates in 2003 had a lot of people saying "I told you so," and attributing the downturn to a drop-off in hormone replacement therapy. But it may not be that simple. Dr. Tori Hudson offers her thoughts on this hot topic.

Lycopene Shows Health Benefits Beyond Prostate Cancer Prevention
A recent National Cancer Institute sponsored study has challenged the notion that increased lycopene consumption can prevent prostate cancer. But on closer analysis of the data, that conclusion is hardly written in stone. A wealth of other research shows that this valuable nutrient, found abundantly in tomatoes, can lower blood pressure, reduce cardiac events, and even protect against sunburn.

Melatonin: Circadian Cycle Regulator Has Role in Treatment of Cancer, Hypertension
Most people think of melatonin as a sleep aid and jet lag remedy, owing to its ability to regulate circadian rhythms. But this compound has many other benefits, including regulation of blood pressure and slowing the growth of several types of cancer.

High-Veg, Low-Fat Diets Prevent Progression, Recurrence of Breast, Colon Cancer
New data from the Women's Intervention Nutrition Study (WINS) and the Women's Healthy Eating and Lifestyle (WHEL) trial show clearly that low-fat, high-vegetable diets can reduce risk of breast cancer recurrence in high-risk women. The findings should prompt a re-thinking of the negative diet data from the Women's Health Initiative.

Scrap the War on Cancer, Start the War on Carcinogenesis
The ongoing, lavishly-funded "war on cancer," is misguided because it is focused almost exclusively on genetics and end-stage high-tech treatments, while ignoring the biggest driving factor behind the cancer epidemic: environmental pollution. Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, a pioneer in integrative oncology, issues a call to action to the medical community and health conscious citizens.

Plant Medicines Offer Multiple Mechanisms Against Prostate Cancer
Plant medicines can inhibit the growth of cancer through multiple biochemical mechanisms. A research team at the Columbia University Center for Holistic Urology is at the leading edge of science on herbal therapies for prostate cancer. The big stars are Zyflamend, a 10-herb anti-inflammatory combination, and Prostabel, a combo of Rauwolfia and Pau Pereira.

Fermented Wheat Germ Extract Improves Immunity, Survival in Cancer Patients
A new medical food called Ave, and derived from fermented wheat germ, holds great promise as an adjunctive therapy for colorectal cancer, metastatic melanoma, childhood malignancies and other forms of cancer. Compounds in Ave starve cancer cells, enhance immune system activity, and reduce chemo-associated side effects.

AHCC and GCP: New Options for Urologic Cancers, Immune-Mediated Disorders
Researchers from around the world gathered in New York to review current science on Activated Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) and Genistein Combined Polysaccharide (GCP), two compounds derived from Basidiomycetes mushrooms that are able to inhibit growth of prostate and bladder cancer cells.

Botanical Medicines Improve Immune Function, Prolong Survival in Cancer Patients
Plant-based medicines including Bromelain (from pineapple), Chelidonium (a common Northeastern plant), and activated hexose correlated compound (derived from medicinal mushrooms) can strengthen immune function in cancer patients, leading to better treatment responses, longer survival and fewer recurrences. James Belanger, ND, a naturopathic oncologist, shares his approach.

Calendula Reduces Radiation Side Effects; Calcium-Vitamin D Improve Bone Mineral Density
Roughly 80% of all women with breast cancer who are treated with radiation therapy experience skin damage at the irradiated sites. Topical preparations containing extracts of Calendula, a flower in the Marigold family, can prevent this radiation-induced dermatitis.

Prostate Cancer Drugs Increase Risk of Osteoporosis, Fractures
Men with prostate cancer who are treated with androgen-suppressing GnRH analog drugs, are at markedly increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures compared with patients of similar age who are not taking these drugs. The longer a man is on a GnRH analog, the greater is his osteoporosis/fracture risk.
