Be the match be the match-3260
CRU at Ball State University organized a bone marrow drive with a magician named Jim Munroe that registered 433 new donors for the Be The Match registry in 90 minutes, making it the largest single drive in Indiana. This led to the creation of a new Be The Match on Campus group at Ball State to conduct more drives, raise awareness, and help offset tissue typing and storage fees to add more people to the registry and save lives through bone marrow transplants.
Article 20 - american cancer society
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem through prevention, saving lives, and reducing suffering from this disease. The organization tracks cancer data including incidence, mortality, survival rates, risk factors, and estimated new cases and deaths. Resources on the latest cancer research, survivor stories, and information on prevention and early detection can be found on the American Cancer Society's website. The organization provides a community for cancer survivors and funds research with the goal of eventually eliminating cancer.
ALS Media Relations Plan
This media relations plan was developed to support the ALS Association's annual ALS Walks. The plan aims to maximize outreach and participation through local, national, and niche media outlets. It provides an analysis of the Walk and potential competitors. The plan's objectives are to increase overall awareness, participation, and donations. It identifies target audiences and media outlets. Story angles, messages, and potential spokespeople are outlined. Strategies and tactics are proposed for social media, print/TV ads, billboards, and incentives. Evaluation methods focus on tracking metrics like donations, registrations, and media coverage.
Walking for a Cure
Rob Emrich lost two family members to cancer and founded the Road of Life organization with friends to raise funds for cancer research through physical fitness initiatives. Their first event is a 312 mile walk from Cincinnati to Cleveland along bike paths and roads to raise $31,200. The organization aims to expand nationally and internationally, with future plans including a walk along the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina to spread their anti-cancer message further.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

- 1. For more information on how you can become involved in the Relay For Life of FIU please visit our website at www.fiu.edu/~rfl. You may also contact me directly by emailing anagarcia.pr@gmail.com For Immediate Release Contact: Anaisabel Garcia Anagarcia.pr@gmail.com February 6, 2009 The 5th Annual Relay For Life of Florida International University “Hollywood!” Miami, FL — The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Florida International University is one of the largest philanthropic events on campus. This celebration of life brings the FIU community together in a unified effort to fight cancer. Former and current cancer patients, their families, businesses, students, faculty and the public are invited to participate in this exciting team event. The 5th Annual Relay For Life of FIU will take place from 6:00 p.m. on Friday March 6, 2009 until Saturday 12:00 p.m. on March 7, 2009 in front of the Florida International University’s Ryder Building. Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s version of an athletic relay, but with a new twist. Relay For Life is a community-oriented event where participants enjoy the company of a team and also raise funds to support the activities of the American Cancer Society. Participants camp out at the stadium and when they are not taking their turn walking, they take part in fun activities and enjoy entertainment by several local musicians. Teams from student organizations, Greek community, and schools collect donations and can win individual and team spirit points for their efforts in decorating their camp sites. Last year, the event raised over $70,000. This year’s goal is $80,000 with 80 registered teams. Thanks to the generosity of corporate sponsor Best Buy, along with other sponsors the money raised goes directly to the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving programs.
