Those who carry the S gene. What is this survival value?
Sickle cell anemia provides resistance to the plasmoidal infection known as malaria. Is this a question for homework?
Cancer is not a dis-ease its a survival mechanism, which has been created in many peoples lives due to poor lifestyle choices. According to Dr ...
In patients with localized disease, overall 5-year survival rates have improved to more than 80% with the combined use of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.6 However, in patients with metastatic disease, little progress has been made in survival rates, with a 5-year event-free survival rate less than 30%. Does this mean that they only live for 5 years??
The 5 year survival rate is quoted because after 5 years other factors (motor vehicle accidents, heart disease,stroke, etc NOT caner related) start distorting survival rates.

As recently as 1994, a diagnosis of amyloidosis was a death sentence; average life remaining after diagnosis, 13 months. Now there is hope--not certainty of a long life, but 25% to 60%. depending onj individual circumstances. I was diagnosed 2/99, treated 6/99, recovered completely, relapsed 11/03, and am still kicking.
Your best bet for one-stop shopping for amyloidosis information on the net is http://www.amyloidosis.org. There is also a Yahoo group named amyloidosis and also a mailing list named amyloid hosted by the Association of Cancer Onliine Resources. The amyloid list has aroiund 500 subscribers, amyloidosis Yahoo group has maybe half that many. Face-to-face support for patients and caregivers is also availabe in most large metropoolitan areas two or three times a year. See http://www.amyloidosissupportgroups.com for details.
To join the amyloid list, see http://www.acor.org/amyloid.html . I hang out on thte amyloid list. Nothing against the Yahoo group, I just found the ACOR first, I know the regulars there. I'm one of them, actually. Hope this helps.

I know it's a lot to read, but I really want to know what you all think of it.
Basically, the author suggests that cancer cells are a good thing and we can rid of it with positive thinking or whatever
personally i think it's a load of bull.
I think it is a load of bull, too. Is this guy a doctor? Where does he get this stuff from? I think what he is trying to say is that cancer is a natural process & that it is helpful to the body, & also that the body is capable of healing itself from cancer. However, there is a problem with that line of thinking...#1) If cancer isn't a disease (like he says) why would our body have to heal itself from cancer? #2) Where is his proof? (Probably in his "book", but I doubt he has done any scientific studies, most of this stuff is generally case reports at best) #3) The problem is, cancer IS a disease, these ARE mutant cells (as he pointed out), and our bodies are NOT normally capable of fighting them effectively (because cancer cells are generally mutated so that they do not die after a normal lifespan like normal cells do). Cancer cells multiply out of control, spread throughout the body, and they rob the normal healthy cells of nutrients (and space, taken up by tumors) that they need to grow). THAT is the problem with cancer. AND YES, cancer DOES cause pain. And YES, a lot more pain, & sickness IS caused by the drugs we use to try to treat cancer. Because the drugs & radiation can kill healthy cells along with cancer cells as a side effect, unfortunately. But not ALL of the pain is caused by the treatments, because many (not all) cancer patients were in pain (or had some sort of symptoms) before treatment began--that's why they sought treatment in the first place.
So YES, I think this guy is wrong. I believe in the traditional medicine approach. I know that the current medicines we have could probably use some improvements, and that is why there is still research being done. However, I don't think people should just say "I don't need any drugs, I can cure cancer with positive thinking..." or something like that.
i really cant find it anywhere. help me pleeease :)
Only about 0.0250% of the people in the United States dies from Yersiniosis. So that's a 99.975 survival rate. Sorry for not finding out the survival rate of the entire population!

Lenalidomide (Revlimid) Extends Disease-Free Survival in Multiple ...
Via NIH Press - Initial results from a large, randomized clinical trial for patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, showed that patients who received the oral drug lenalidomide (Revlimid, also known as CC-5013) following a blood stem cell transplant had their cancer kept in check longer than patients who received a placebo. The clinical trial, for patients ages 18 to 70, was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and conducted by a network of researchers led by the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) in collaboration with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network...
