Founded in 1989, the Pine Street Foundation's mission is to help people
with cancer reach more informed treatment decisions through education and research.
This is accomplished
through
meta-analysis of medical literature
from around the globe and through the conduct of innovative clinical
trials. Critical to our efforts continues to be our emphasis on ensuring
the highest scientific quality of our research designs and trial data. Our
research program also supports and informs our education programs; by publishing
the results of our work in reputable medical journals, we are able to make
the results
of our efforts widely available to other researches, practitioners, and patients.
Welcome to the spring issue of Avenues! 2008 is already off to an
incredible start and this coming year promises to be our best yet, with new
research projects and educational initiatives.
LUNG CANCER:
ANTIOXIDANTS & CHEMOTHERAPY
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests combining specific chemotherapy
treatments for lung cancer with certain antioxidants at defined dosages can
help improve drug effectiveness or reduce the severity of side effects. In
this evidence-based review article, Johanna Altgelt, an associate researcher
at the Pine Street Foundation, searched through thousands of peer-reviewed,
published studies and discusses how antioxidants may enhance or, in some cases,
inhibit the therapeutic action of specific chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment
of lung cancer. Click here for more.
