Summer 2008

Welcome to the to the summer issue of Avenues!

RESEARCH UPDATE:
OVARIAN CANCER EARLY DETECTION PROJECT
Is there meaningful information contained within the breath? Could this information lead to the early detection of ovarian cancer? Since we last wrote, our new research project is now fully underway and we are excited to update you on our progress so far. We have started training a great new group of dogs and have begun recruiting women (as both patients and controls) to give us samples of their breath. Click here for more.

COLON CANCER:
ANTIOXIDANTS & CHEMOTHERAPY
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests combining specific chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer with certain antioxidants at defined dosages can improve drug effectiveness or reduce the severity of side effects. In this evidence-based review article, we searched through thousands of peer-reviewed, published studies and discuss how antioxidants may enhance or, in some cases, inhibit the therapeutic action of specific chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of colon cancer.
