SUMMARY:NIH State-of-the-Science Conference:
DESCRIPTION:December 5 - 7, 2011    NIH State-of-the-Science Conference: Role of Active Surveillance in the Management of Men with Localized prostate Cancer    Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. Most prostate cancers are not aggressive at diagnosis and unlikely to become life-threatening. However, 90% of patients receive immediate treatment for prostate cancer, such as surgery or radiation therapy. In many patients, these treatments have substantial short- and long-term side effects without offering any clinical benefit.    Currently, clinicians rely on two observational strategies as alternatives to immediate treatment of early-stage prostate cancer: watchful waiting and active surveillance. Yet, it is unclear which men will most benefit from each approach. To better understand the benefits and risks of active surveillance and watchful waiting, the National Institutes of Health has engaged in a rigorous assessment of the available scientific evidence. This process will culminate in the December conference.    Natcher Conference Center    Bethesda, MD    Can’t attend in person? Register for the webcast and/or pre-order the statement at http://consensus-nih. org/omar-public/conferences/aspc/ cannotattend.aspx.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series, the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world, raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since its inception in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure series has grown from one local Race with 800 participants to a global series of more than 120 Races with more than 1 million people expected to participate in 2010. Up to 75 percent of the funds raised at the Race remain here in Arkansas to provide breast health research, diagnostics, screening, treatment, services and education for uninsured or underinsured women.  The remaining 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer and, ultimately, its cures.
