HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Drug Warning Chemotherapy can cause anemia, a drop in red blood cell (hemoglobin) levels. Erythropoiesis-stimulating drugs, which boost the production of red blood cells, are administered to counteract this complication. However, these drugs, including epoietin alfa (Epogen, Procrit) and darbepoietin alfa (Aranesp), can also cause serious side effects and adversely affect survival when hemoglobin levels are raised too high. - 0 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights New Guidelines for Localized Prostate Cancer In 2007, the American Urological Association (AUA) released updated guidelines for treatment of localized prostate cancer. The guidelines recommend that:

Patients should be classified as low, intermediate, or high risk, depending on their PSA levels, cancer stage, and tumor aggressiveness.
Doctors need to consider patients’ personal preferences and quality of life concerns as well as their clinical status.
Standard treatment options include active surveillance (watchful waiting), surgery, or radiation therapy. Initial androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy) is seldom recommended for localized prostate cancer.

New Guidelines for Androgen Deprivation Therapy

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2007 guidelines recommend that doctors delay androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer until patients develop symptoms. - 0 Comments
