************ THE COMING CANCER BOOM Newsweek, March 31 -- As baby boomers reach the age when prostate cancer is most prevalent, scientists are working quickly to develop new treatments and encourage diet changes. Dr. Johannes Vieweg of Duke, the lead investigator of a vaccine trial, discusses "promising" results. (See second page.) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7325063/site/newsweek/ What is meant by this statement: "Since prostate cancer is a relatively slow-growing disease that predominately affects older Americans, many men with the disease will die from other causes. The five-year survival rate for those diagnosed at any stage is 98 percent. But after 10 years, the survival rate drops to 84 percent, and the 15-year survival rate is 56 percent, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation." Does this mean the cancer killed them or a perhaps something else? |
