Sun smartWhy Joanna Crosier will never lie out in the sun again Apr 3, 2007
"I was very aware of being careful in the sun. I had lived in Australia from the age of nine to 18. It's a big thing over there. They are a lot more aware than we are over here. I was not one of those people that sunbathed a lot. I did sport outdoors but usually wore sunscreen. I had got burned from time to time. What happened certainly came as quite a shock.

Leukemia survivors prone to other cancers Mar 22, 2007
The majority of cancers the patients developed were those that respond well to treatment like meningioma and basal cell carcinoma, but some were very serious, the researchers stated. Not ruling out genetic factors as playing a role, the researchers also said that chemotherapy and radiation treatments used on childhood leukemia patients partially accounts for the increased risk.

Leukemia survivors more prone to other cancers Mar 21, 2007
The majority of the cancers they developed were types that respond well to treatment such as meningioma, a tumor near the brain and spinal cord, and basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, but some were very serious, the researchers said. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments used on childhood leukemia patients may have been harsher than current treatments, and this in part accounts for the increased risk, the researchers said.

Sunbed use by young people hikes cancer risk Mar 20, 2007
While three studies of a less-deadly type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, also found increased risk with sunbed exposure, research did not support a link with basal cell carcinoma, another common type of skin cancer. Given that sunbed use has become widespread only relatively recently, and that both melanoma and basal cell carcinoma have a long latency period, the current study may not have been able to detect all potential risk, the researchers note.

Medipattern adds to Reseller Network, Providing Technology to Improve Diagnosis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Feb 21, 2007
A landmark paper published in December, 2006, by Dr. Vincent Caggiano and epidemiologist Monica Brown, shows that women of Spanish descent are far more susceptible than non-Latin women to triple negative breast cancer, which presents similarly to basal cell carcinoma.
