"There's more to it of course, but I wanted to give the flavor of the choices you can be faced with way before you think you'll need to."   That, my friends, is a message from Curt.  Read it carefully, because it is a message from a young man who is facing a circumstance that none of us ever want to contemplate.  His need to make decision […]

If a study in the current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine was a report about a new treatment that extended the lives of patients with advanced lung cancer by almost 3 months, the crowds would be cheering.  But it isn't a study of a new chemotherapy drug, targeted therapy or vaccine.  And I doubt there are lots of cheers in the audience.   I […]

There they go again, trying to ruin my day.  The "they" in question are my epidemiology colleagues down the hall at our American Cancer Society offices in Atlanta.    The topic a couple of weeks ago that got me going was an article they published suggesting that I had a higher chance of premature death because I sit at a desk most of the day.  Toda […]

1)The son in law came in at 1:35, #11 in his class.   2) The wife came in at around 2:35, but she did finish after walking a portion of the 5k run at the end.  And just finishing was a terrific accomplishment in our eyes.   3) The 19 yo daughter finished around 2:25, running strong at the end. She won 3rd place in her group.  There were only 3 entrants.   4) […]

  A lot of experts write and talk about getting more exercise and making the commitment to a healthier lifestyle.  I am one of those folks who think staying active is important, especially as we get older.   But there are many out there who just can't seem to get it done.  One excuse or another, whether it is time, work, travel or other obligations-what […]

It's off to the North Georgia mountains to spend some time celebrating family, friends and birthdays (July was a prolific month in our family).  Will be back August 2.   In the meantime, be well and be safe.    Dr. Len      Yes, this is me doing what I love to do: barbecuing (my friends picked this picture as one of their favorites).  Maybe we'll t […]

In early June I appeared on a nationwide news show and in a very brief comment indicated that I thought a new approach to radiation therapy in the treatment of primary breast cancer was "not ready for prime time."  Subsequently, later in the month, I wrote a blog on the treatment-called TARGIT-where I further outlined my concerns.  My primary issue […]

Sometimes you just can't get a break...   That's the way I feel after reading an article my colleagues from the American Cancer Society and other experts wrote in today's edition of the American Journal of Epidemiology.  The topic? The relationship between the time you spend sitting during the day and your chances of premature death.   The bot […]

The news this afternoon that an FDA advisory panel recommended removing approval for bevacizumab (Avastin®) as a treatment for advanced breast cancer is certainly going to be difficult for patients, their families, supporters and doctors alike.   The unfortunate reality is that despite earlier reports that this targeted therapy (which has been successful in […]

How do you know if you or a loved one are getting quality cancer care?    That's an interesting question, although it isn't a new one.  I have been asked that question on a number of occasions and in several media interviews, and quite frankly it's difficult to answer.  In no small part because like many other things we do in medicine, true qu […]
