Tibetan Bon meditation is one of Tibet's oldest Buddhist traditions. As mind-body practice, it uses the breath to first calm the mind and body, and then you work with the breath to form sacred sounds to release obstacles in your life (that may be physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual) and permit centering. Sound acts as a connector, allowing dialogue between the mind and body, explains Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D., adjunct assistant professor in the Integrative Medicine Program at M. D. Anderson.

In this demonstration of the CTC-Chip, circulating tumor cells (fluorescent labeled, shown in white) mixed with blood (not labeled) are captured on nano-scale posts as they flow through the chip. The chip is the size of a microscope slide with 78,000 posts, which are coated with antibodies to epithelial cell adhesion molecules in tumor cells.

Dr. John A. Milner, chief of the Nutritional Science Research Group in the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Prevention, talks about nutrition and cancer prevention. Dr. Milner discusses the role of an emerging area of science known as nutrigenomics in cancer prevention. He also talks about food components that interest scientists, such as lycopene in tomatoes and Omega-3 fatty acids in fish, and why consuming whole foods, rather than dietary supplement, may be important. 21 Dec. 09

Two US studies published in the Archives of Internal Medicine have found that radiation from computed tomographic (CT) scanners can cause cancer decades after patient exposure.

CT scans use blasts of X-rays in a test that allows doctors to see a three-dimensional image of a targeted organ or tissue.

The first study, undertaken in four San Francisco hospitals, found that "even the median doses (of radiation) are four times higher than they are supposed to be, according to the currently quoted radiation dos

A multi-institutional study has identified a potential personalized treatment target for the most common form of ovarian cancer. In the December 8 issue of Cancer Cell, the research team describes finding that a gene called MAGP2 -- not previously associated with any type of cancer -- was overexpressed in papillary serous ovarian tumors of patients who died more quickly. They also found evidence suggesting possible mechanisms by which MAGP2 may promote tumor growth. 16 Dec. 09

Some 15,000 women will die of ovarian cancer this year and almost 22,000 women will be diagnosed with it.

Ovarian cancer is deadly because there isn't a good screening test and there are few early symptoms, but may be hope in some new ways a woman can detect ovarian cancer early.

"I did not know the symptoms and what they meant," said Suzanne Linker.

However, Linker knew that things weren't right.

"A fullness and weight gain, especially around the waist. That was the very first sign," Linker said.

Cancer researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center have found a way to turn ineffective new cancer drugs into cancer-fighters. By using their patented chemical compound, SHetA2, researchers tricked cancer cells into responding to new treatments and undergoing cell suicide. The research appears in the journal Gynecologic Oncology.

“This discovery means that we can use our non-toxic cancer prevention pill to improve treatment for people who already have cancer,” said Doris Mangiaracina B

This song was written by my wife a few months before she died of Ovarian Cancer in Feb this year (2009). It is set to many photos of her during the three years that she battled the disease.
