Promising Results From Cancer Study

A new experimental vaccine（疫苗）has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer. In a
small Texas-based study,a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,
USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.
Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small study.Forty-three patients suffering from
lung cancer were involved in these trials.Ten of these patients were in the early stages and thirty-three in the
advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,and
were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease
disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference
was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.
This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is
injected into the arm or leg. It stimulates（刺激）the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the
cancer cells are harmful,and attacks and destroys them.
The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer. It offers great hope for the treatment of
cancer in general,although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.

All the patients were from Dallas.

Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor

The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more
likely to develop the disease from smoking,said medical experts after a five-year research study.
Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies on lung cancer. They
said patients are younger,especially women.
According to the Shanghai Tumor Research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city
than anything else.Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.
"An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,"said Dr. He Yumin from Shanghai
Minshen Traditional Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Centre.
He followed 2, 276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,1,483 were male.
Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed
cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.
However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil
fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.
About 32 percent women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of
women's bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.
However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumc、 could lead to cancer. Some claimed
they may change food preparation methods.
"Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook,"said Xu Li,
a 45-year-old local woman."I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time that I heard it
result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less."
Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely
related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.
Other experts agreed with him.
"Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men,"said Dr. Tan Binyong,honorary president
of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College."It's true that second-hand
smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women."
His research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried food due to the poor quality of
the oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if one is exposed to the fume for a long time,
experts said.

What is the new tendency in lung cancer concluded by the researchers?
A:Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women.
B:Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men.
C:Patients with lung cancer become older,especially males.
D:Patients with lung cancer become younger,especially females.

Food and Cancer

Medical experts have suspected for many years that there is a strong link between what a person eats and
cancer. They say a new study provides the first evidence that vitamins could reduce a person's chance of
developing cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study.They are from American
National Cancer Institute and the Cancer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of the study. About thirty thousand people
between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study.They were from the northern central Chinese area of
Linxian.Most of them took vitamins and minerals everyday for five years.
Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and
esophagus.Researchers believe that fungus and molds in local foods may be partly responsible for the high
cancer rate.Researchers divided those people into eight groups.Seven of the groups received different
mixtures of vitamins and minerals daily.The amounts of the vitamins and minerals were 1 to 2 times greater
than what American health officials say is needed.The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect.
Those who seemed to gain the most received a mixture of a form of vitamin A called β-carotene,vitamin E
and the mineral selenium（硒）.The vitamin and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells caused by
cancer-causing substances.Researchers reported a 1 3 percent drop in cancer rates in those who took
β-carotene,vitamin E and selenium.They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by
strokes from bursting blood vessels.
Scientists warn that it is too soon to know if the effect would be the same among people in other
countries.They note that the people in Linxian eat foods that lack necessary vitamins and minerals.Chinese
officials will continue to record the health records of the people in Linxian for many years.For now officials
reportedly are considering using the results of the study.They want to find a way to improve the health of
people in Linxian and other small towns in China.

The rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus in Linxian is the highest in China.

in the advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,
and were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the
disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great
difference was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.
This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system. It is made specifically for each patient and is
injected into the arm or leg. It stimulates the body's immune system,which then recognizes that the cancer
cells are harmful,and attacks and destroys them.
The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer. It offers great hope for the treatment of
cancer.in general,although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.

The vaccine activates the immune system.

Promising Results From Cancer Study

A new experimental vaccine（疫苗）has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer. In a
small Texas-based study,a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,
USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.

Food and Cancer

Medical experts have suspected for many years that there is a strong link between what a person eats and
cancer. They say a new study provides the first evidence that vitamins could reduce a person's chance of
developing cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study.They are from American
National Cancer Institute and the Cancer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of the study. About thirty thousand people
between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study.They were from the northern central Chinese area of
Linxian.Most of them took vitamins and minerals everyday for five years.
Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and
esophagus.Researchers believe that fungus and molds in local foods may be partly responsible for the high
cancer rate.Researchers divided those people into eight groups.Seven of the groups received different
mixtures of vitamins and minerals daily.The amounts of the vitamins and minerals were 1 to 2 times greater
than what American health officials say is needed.The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect.
Those who seemed to gain the most received a mixture of a form of vitamin A called β-carotene,vitamin E
and the mineral selenium（硒）.The vitamin and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells caused by
cancer-causing substances.Researchers reported a 1 3 percent drop in cancer rates in those who took
β-carotene,vitamin E and selenium.They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by
strokes from bursting blood vessels.
Scientists warn that it is too soon to know if the effect would be the same among people in other
countries.They note that the people in Linxian eat foods that lack necessary vitamins and minerals.Chinese
officials will continue to record the health records of the people in Linxian for many years.For now officials
reportedly are considering using the results of the study.They want to find a way to improve the health of
people in Linxian and other small towns in China.

The results of the study are of great significance to people everywhere.
