ButtMeddler's Channel - YouTube

youtube.com — “Humorous motivational speaker Patricia Raymond MD is the cheeky and probing Divine Ms. Butt Meddler. Author of Colonoscopy: It'll Crack U Up! & Colonoscopy Is a Gas!, Dr. Raymond takes colon cancer screening seriously and herself lightly. Raymond created the Diva of Doo & Toast of the Compost to help folks over their fear of screening colonoscopy. Her maxim is "If you're BEHIND on your colon cancer screening, let your gastroenterologist RECTIFY that!" This year's parody colView full resource at youtube.com

Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks

sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett’s dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

New imaging technique visualizes cancer during surgery - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Neuherberg, 19.09.2011. Scientists from Technische Universitaet München, Helmholtz Zentrum München and University of Groningen have now deployed a new imaging technology using laser light to detect cancer based on molecular signatures, leading to the localization of even small cancer cell nests that surgeons might otherwise overlook during surgery. The technique has now been successfully tested on nine patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer. There are plans to apply this imaging concept also to View full resource at qualitypointtech.net

Research discovers genetic link to Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer

eurekalert.org — “Researchers have identified genetic mutations in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) and/or the cancer esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). None of these mutations were found in patients not affected by BE/EAC, suggesting a previously unknown heritable cause. Identifying genetic markers will allow risk assessment, early detection, improved disease management, and ultimately increased survival.View full resource at eurekalert.org
