No, Jan, it is NOT effective against cancer, and never has been... Please
inform yourself about this matter.

Please explain why about 3/4 of kids with cancer and more than 1/2 of
adults with cancer are cured.

Compared with about 0% without modern treatment.

Please provide a peer-reviewed published study that has proven the
effectiveness of chemotherapy using standard scientific protocols.

There's no such study.

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery have all helped increase the
cure rate of various cancers.

Back your claim please. In other words, show us that there is a
significant cure rate without modern treatment. Real evidence, please.

That's right, Jan. He cannot provide any scientific proof that chemotherapy
is effective because no such proof exists. Chemotherapy is a big hoax.

He's one from Georgia. You can find others at www.pubmed.gov. You can
find cancer survival statistics for any type of cancer. Please note that
the 86% 5-year survival (essentially, a cure) for kids with ALL is from
chemotherapy and radiation only (except for surgery to implant an IV
catheter, so that patients don't have to be stuck as often).

Howell DL, Ward KC, Austin HD, Young JL, Woods WG.

Department of Pediatrics, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory
University, Atlanta, GA, USA. Della.Howell@lackland.af.mil

PURPOSE: There have been concerns among pediatric oncologists that
adolescent and minority patients are not getting adequate access to
care. This study examines access to cancer care and survival outcomes
based on age, race, and type of cancer in patients in Georgia. PATIENTS
AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 1,751 cancer
patients aged 0 to 19 years, diagnosed between 1998 and 2002, in the
Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry, which identified patients who
were treated at one of five Georgia pediatric cancer centers (Children's
Oncology Group [COG] members) at any point in their treatment. Data were
further analyzed for age at diagnosis, race, county of residence, and
5-year survival. RESULTS: Eighty-seven percent of patients aged 0 to 14
years and 36% of those aged 15 to 19 years were treated at a COG
institution. Twenty-five percent of all patients were of African
descent, with 75.4% of black versus 70.3% of white patients (age 0 to 19
years) treated at a COG institution (P < .01); 97.1% of other minorities
were treated at a COG institution (P < .05). The 5-year actuarial
survival rates for more pediatric-specific cancers were significantly
lower in all leukemias (75.1% v 46.4%; P = .0015), and acute
lymphoblastic leukemia specifically (86.3% v 53.3%; P < .05) for
patients not treated at a COG institution. Actuarial survival rates were
much lower for blacks than whites in all cancers as a whole (70% v 82%;
P < .001) and for many specific subtypes. CONCLUSION: Adolescent-aged
patients are less likely to be referred to a COG institution,
potentially exposing them to worse outcomes in some cancer subtypes.
Reassuringly, minority populations are receiving adequate access to
pediatric cancer care; unfortunately their survival rates are lower.

How come you forgot to give us the title of this article, Jeff?

What a strange omission...

If this is really your best proof that chemo is effective, how come it's not
in the title? Instead, the title is,

"Access to Pediatric Cancer Care by Age, Race, and Diagnosis, and Outcomes
of Cancer Treatment in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients in the State of
Georgia"

With "proof" like this coming from you, now I KNOW that chemo is a hoax! :(

Duh!

Yuri.

Yuri Kuchinsky -=O=- http://www.globalserve.net/~yuku

"...chemotherapy's success record is dismal. It can achieve remissions in
about 7% of all human cancers; for an additional 15% of cases, survival can
be "prolonged" beyond the point at which death would be expected without
treatment. This type of survival is not the same as a cure or even restored
quality of life." -- John Diamond, M.D.

Don't be. Anti-RealMedicine sociopaths, like Yuri, play this game of
pretending that the information does not exist, or that something has
not been studied, etc. When presented with the information, they they
whine that it is "tainted" because it from "organized medicine", or
"BigPharma" or some other bogeyman conspiracy. They do this because they

You have no evidence that it hasn't been.  Therefore you should,

The proof is easy to find. Pick any type of cancer where chemotherapy is
used. Then go to pubmed.gov. In the search box, type in the name of the
cancer, chemotherapy and effectiveness. You will find many results for
each type of cancer.

You can also go to a medical library and look for a book by a guy with
the name Vincent T. Devita called "Cancer Principles and Practice of
Oncology." It is an outstanding textbook, with references for each type
of cancer.

However, I am not going to waste my time providing you with evidence
that anyone with a functioning brain and internet connection can find.
If you can't find it, I am sure it is not problem with your internet
connection.

With high-risk childhood leukemia, the cure rates are at least 60%. For
low-risk, the survival rates are around 90%.

Gee, not bad for a disease that was usually fatal when I was a kid, and
almost always fatal when my dad was a kid.

A little quotation from

 Childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia: progress and problems in treatment.
 W P Bowman

(A paper from 1981, Canadian Medical Association Journal)

 Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common cancer of childhood. A
 series of total therapy studies begun in 1962 at St. Jude Children's
 Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee has had a dramatic impact on
 the survival of children with this disease. These studies have
 systematically examined various drug combinations and radiation
 therapy in an effort to cure acute lymphocytic leukemia. As a
 result, a once uniformly fatal condition is now curable in nearly
 one half of cases.

See that, Yuri?  I'm hopeful that not even someone as deep in denial
as yourself will be able to overlook "a once uniformly fatal
condition."  Also, the "nearly one half of cases."

Even if these claims are true (and that's a big 'if'), this cannot be seen
as a proof that chemotherapy is effective, because this type of cancer is
only ca 2% of all cancers.

That's a "big 'if'"?  Gee, Yuri, you're even stupider than I thought
you were, which is really saying something.  You're implying that
before chemo, lots of children were getting leukemia and not dying,
and the doctors never noticed.  Uh huh.

And surgery is not effective on skin cancer because you can't use it
on leukemia.  Yuri, you're an incredible dope.

If chemo is only effective in 2% of cases, this alone constitutes clear
proof that it is ineffective overall.

But of course I have my doubts that chemo is effective in any way at all.
It's just that with some rare cancers (i.e. when the number of patients is
very small) the studies can be more easily manipulated to show positive
results.

Interesting alternate reality you live in.  If chemo is only effective
in certain types of cancer, it means we should primarily use it there.

Yes, I figured I'd get some sort of dimwitted response like that from
you.  First, you can explain why childhood leukemia, which used to be
nearly 100% fatal, is now much less than 50% fatal -- and why this is
only true when it's treated with chemotherapy.

The number of patients is not "very small."  Thousands of patients is
not a small sample.

What's next? Using antibiotics only for bacterial infections? High blood
pressure meds only when the blood pressure it too high? Not using
laxatives when one has diarrhea? You mean you should only use
medications for things that they work on.

That's like say you should use a word processor when you have something
to type. Amazing that there are some, like Yuri, who haven't figured
this out yet.

Yet it is an example of excellent science. The vast majority (I think
around 85%) of kids who get cancer get either in studies or on protocols
from studies. The data are reported to experts at analyzing data
(National Childhood Cancer Foundation, usually, I believe), who use the
data to figure out what works and what doesn't work.

What is the result of all this? Thousands of kids who are alive now who
would have died if they had the same disease before I was born. And
thousands of adults who had cancer as kids.

You keep insisting that chemo might be effective in 2% of cases. Well, it's
perfectly clear then that it's ineffective in 98% of cases!

The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult
malignancies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some relatively rare advanced metastatic cancers which can be cured by
chemo - testicular germ cell
cancer, high and medium grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, some childhood cancers,
but that's it.
Chemotherapy is vastly overblown.
It is a valuable adjuvant treatment after surgery for some common cancers, but
none of the common epithelial cancers (breast, stomach, colon, rectum, lung,
prostate, etc, ) can be cured by chemotherapy. And there is nothing on the
horizon to suggest that that is going to change anytime soon.
It's also used neoadjuvant -  shrinking tumors before surgery and it's useful
palliative - shirinking tumours.

For every 100 cancers cured, surgery cures about 50, radiotherapy about 40 and
chemotherapy at best 10.
That's just the way it is.....

re: childhood cancers
One webpage says "More than 270000 children, teens, and adults in the Untied
States are survivors of childhood cancer."

Another: Childhood cancer have a good cure rate - between 70% and 90% - but
often require aggressive chemotherapy

Actually, it has its uses in more than 2% of cases.  But even if it's
not useful in 90% of cases, so what?  It just means that chemo is not
the treatment of choice for those cases.  If you get skin cancer, the
treatment of choice is surgery.  If you get leukemia, it's chemo.  You
do what's appropriate in a given case.

I mean, what kind of idiot expects there to be only one treatment for
a wide variety of dramatically different diseases?

So this means that massive numbers of people get killed by the system,
because of deception. The punishment for ignorance is death.

That's why it pays to be informed.

No, it doesn't mean that at all.  Chemo may sometimes be pointless,

dopey.

Jan, Mike Adams seems like a good guy, but this doesn't mean that he's
always right about everything...

I'm not questioning most of what he says in his article, just his basic
premise that chemo is effective.

"...chemotherapy's success record is dismal. It can achieve remissions in
about 7% of all human cancers; for an additional 15% of cases, survival can
be "prolonged" beyond the point at which death would be expected without
treatment. This type of survival is not the same as a cure or even restored
quality of life." -- John Diamond, M.D.
