Beyond the Pap
Scientists have known for some time that virtually all cases of cervical cancer are triggered by a family of viruses called human papillomavirus,or HPV.Most women who become infected with HPV are able to shake off the virus and suffer no apparent long-term consequences to their health.But a few women develop a per- sistent infection that can,for reasons that are not entirely clear,eventually lead to cancerous changes in the cervix。
Now researchers at the Digene Corp.of Beltsville,Maryland,have developed a test that detects an ac- tive HPV infection by looking for its genetic byproducts in the vagina.The HPV test was better than the standard Pap test at finding cervical cancer at any stage,according to two studies published this month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.So far,so good.Unfortunately,the test's false-positive rate- how often it indicated that there was a problem when none existed-was almost twice as high as that for the Pap smear.In these cases,a biopsy of the woman's cervix showed no sign of disease.
And that's the crux of the problem.How many women should undergo what is,when it comes right down to it,unnecessary treatment to find a few more cases of cervical cancer? Shouldn't health officials fodus instead on making sure that more women undergo regular Papsmear examinations?After all,Pap smears,though far from perfect,have helped dramatically lower the death toll from cervical cancer,taking it from the No.1 cause of death due to cancer in American women to the 10th.
Complicating matters is the fact that HPV is a very common infection.In some parts of the US as many as half of all women under age 35 have an active case.Yet 99 out of 100 women who are HPV-positive will never get cervical cancer,estimates Dr.Joanna Cain,vice president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."If those 99 women live their lives as if they're going to develop cancer,"she says, "we're not necessarily doing them any good."
At present,the HPV test is approved in the US only to help resolve ambiguous results from a Papsmear test.Many gynecologists believe that HPV will eventually replace the Pap.But they're not willing to aban don it without a lot more detailed information and neither should you.

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 in 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 Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.
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 of 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 fumes 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 I heard that it can 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 foods due to the poor quality of oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.

What symptoms may be complained of by most women with lung cancer after long term close contact with cooking oil fumes?
A:Irritated eyes and throat.
B: Severe pain in both lungs.
C: Continuous cough and headache.
D: Difficulty in breathing.

Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low

The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a

The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better management
for women with the disease."
" The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with
the disease一a 50% rise in 25 years.
The number of deaths peaked in 1989,when 15,625 women died.It then fell by between 200 and 400
deaths each year until 2004.
There was a slight rise in 2005 and then two years of falls.
Dr. Sarah Cant,policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,said,"It is great news that fewer women

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 in 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 Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.
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 of 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 fumes 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 I heard that it can 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 foods due to the poor quality of oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.

What a new tendency in lung cancer is 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.

Beyond the Pap
Scientists have known for some time that virtually all cases of cervical cancer are triggered by a family of viruses called human papillomavirus,or HPV.Most women who become infected with HPV are able to shake off the virus and suffer no apparent long-term consequences to their health.But a few women develop a per- sistent infection that can,for reasons that are not entirely clear,eventually lead to cancerous changes in the cervix。
Now researchers at the Digene Corp.of Beltsville,Maryland,have developed a test that detects an ac- tive HPV infection by looking for its genetic byproducts in the vagina.The HPV test was better than the standard Pap test at finding cervical cancer at any stage,according to two studies published this month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.So far,so good.Unfortunately,the test's false-positive rate- how often it indicated that there was a problem when none existed-was almost twice as high as that for the Pap smear.In these cases,a biopsy of the woman's cervix showed no sign of disease.
And that's the crux of the problem.How many women should undergo what is,when it comes right down to it,unnecessary treatment to find a few more cases of cervical cancer? Shouldn't health officials fodus instead on making sure that more women undergo regular Papsmear examinations?After all,Pap smears,though far from perfect,have helped dramatically lower the death toll from cervical cancer,taking it from the No.1 cause of death due to cancer in American women to the 10th.
Complicating matters is the fact that HPV is a very common infection.In some parts of the US as many as half of all women under age 35 have an active case.Yet 99 out of 100 women who are HPV-positive will never get cervical cancer,estimates Dr.Joanna Cain,vice president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."If those 99 women live their lives as if they're going to develop cancer,"she says, "we're not necessarily doing them any good."
At present,the HPV test is approved in the US only to help resolve ambiguous results from a Papsmear test.Many gynecologists believe that HPV will eventually replace the Pap.But they're not willing to aban don it without a lot more detailed information and neither should you.

Dr.Cain is against alarming the majority of women who,though HPV-positive,are unlikely to develop cervical cancer.

Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low

The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a
year for the first time since records began.
The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better management
for women with the disease."
" The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with
the disease一a 50% rise in 25 years.
The number of deaths peaked in 1989,when 15,625 women died.It then fell by between 200 and 400
deaths each year until 2004.
There was a slight rise in 2005 and then two years of falls.
Dr. Sarah Cant,policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,said,"It is great news that fewer women
are dying from breast cancer and highlights the impact of improved treatments,breast screening and
awareness of the disease."
"However,there are still too many women affected and the incidence of the disease is increasing year by
year.,,
The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity
（肥胖）and alcohol consumption.

The rate of breast cancer diagnosis in the UK has been dropping.
