DETERMINING IF CANCER DRUGS TAMOXIFEN & RALOXIFENE REALLY WORTH IT.

The results of the benefit-risk analysis, reported online May 2 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, showed that the risks and benefits of taking raloxifene or tamoxifen depend on a woman’s age, race/ethnicity, projected 5-year breast cancer risk, and whether she has had a hysterectomy. Overall, the analysis showed that raloxifene is better than tamoxifen for reducing breast cancer risk in women with a uterus. For women who have had a hysterectomy, the benefit-risk profiles for raloxifene and tamoxifen are similar.
Researchers have developed a benefit-risk index to help guide decisions on whether postmenopausal women at increased risk of developing breast cancer should take raloxifene or tamoxifen to reduce that risk. Although studies have shown that these drugs can reduce breast cancer risk, the drugs can also cause adverse side effects, so women and their physicians must decide whether the potential benefits of one or the other drug outweigh the risks in each patient’s particular situation.

CANCER CAUSING AGENTS EVEN IN ORGANIC FOODS

All organic food products labeled as "100% Organic" must contain only organically produced ingredients. However, products labeled as "Organic," must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients, but the remaining 5% is suspect. Why? Because the other 5% can come from the National List of Approved Substances, and these substances may contain pesticide or herbicides residue.  This residue may cause cancer. Be careful, you know what they say--you are what you eat. More in book "Memoirs of Cancer." Buy it today at http://www.africanamericansandcancer.com/.
