The Cancer Death Rate is Down 20%

Death rates from cancer have gone down 20% since 1991, according to data in a new study published this month. This does not mean that fewer people are developing cancer, nor does it even mean that fewer people are dying of it ? it just means that, year by year, fewer people are dying of the disease. Possible reasons for the shift include better therapies, and earlier diagnosis. In the chart above, and the one below (click to enlarge), you can also see over the past twenty-two years that certain cancers are killing more people ? and certain ones are killing fewer.

Your gender can make a big difference when it comes to cancer mortality. Prostate cancer for men and breast cancer for women are among the most common forms of the disease.

There are some fascinating facts about cancer mortality in the newly-released study from CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. Though prostate and breast cancer are more common, the most deadly forms of cancer for both men and women are lung and colorectal cancers. It's possible we're entering an era when some cancers are more manageable.

Your race also has an impact on how likely you are to die of cancer. According to a release about the study:

"In 2009, Americans had a 20% lower risk of death from cancer than they did in 1991, a milestone that shows we truly are creating more birthdays," said John R. Seffrin, Ph.D., chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society. "But we must also recognize that not all demographic groups have benefitted equally from these gains, particularly those diagnosed with colorectal or breast cancer, where earlier detection and better treatments are credited for the improving trends. We can and must close this gap so that people are not punished for having the misfortune of being born poor and disadvantaged."

Again, these statistics reflect access to better health care ? a luxury that not every group can afford.

I Guess This Makes Me The Opposite Of Julia | The Lonely ...

Dana at the First Street Journal picked up on a couple of my recent posts regarding how the cost of living is going up for us here in this Obama economy. Seeing that we run a family business, and pay for our own health care, I suppose this makes me the opposite of Obama?s beloved Julia.

Karen and her favorite [and only] ?husband are paying rather close attention to the economy, and she related two letters that they have received,?one from a materials supplier noting significant price increases?and?another notifying her that her family?s group insurance coverage premiums would be increasing by 10% starting in April?

Note that her insurance company specifically stated that part of the increase is directly due to higher costs due to federal regulations. Why, it?s almost as though nothing about health care coverage is free.?

I really recommend looking at Karen?s brief article concerning material price increases. The letter she quotes has substantial percentage price increases listed, and that means the costs to contractors doing jobs will increase . . . which means that fewer people will be able to get work done that needs to be done. Some jobs that need to be done simply?have?to be done: if you need a new roof, you have to get that done, or the rain will destroy your house. But if you were considering new vinyl siding to upgrade an existing older home, well maybe you can live with the old stuff a while longer; if you were hoping to improve your home by adding a deck, maybe you?ll just have to put off that deck for another year or four. This means less business for home improvement contractors, and higher prices for new home construction. Those are things which, in the aggregate, slow down the economy and slow job creation, which is just what we have seen. yet, at the same time, Obama Administration regulations are directly increasing costs for things like health insurance.

Read the whole thing. He?s right. Business has been tough for years. People are really tight with the dollars, because they have fewer dollars to spend. You can?t blame them. How many more material increases can we pass along to customers before they decide they don?t want, or need, the work done? Plus, as the cost of materials has skyrocketed along with our cost of living, we aren?t able to raise the labor rates. If we did, work would probably dry up altogether. So we just continue slogging along like the rest of the economy. Our plans to expand the business have been put on hold indefinitely. At this point, we?re just thankful we?re still getting by.

Something tells me that I?m far from alone in this struggle against rising costs. But hey, at least I can say I?m not living the life of Julia.

Vanda to stop developing anti-depressant, shares slip

(Reuters) - Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc said it would stop developing its experimental drug for major depressive disorder after it failed to meet the main goal of improving symptoms in patients in a clinical trial, sending its shares down about 8 percent.

The company said patients treated with the drug tasimelteon and those on a placebo showed about a 40 percent reduction in symptoms, based on a standard scale that measures severity of depression.

The trial, named Magellan, enrolled 507 patients in 43 sites in the United States, and was comparing a 20mg dose of the drug with a placebo.

Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States and affects about 14.8 million American adults, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

The company is also studying tasimelteon as a treatment for a rare sleep disorder, called "non-24-hour disorder" - a condition in which a person's body clock does not automatically set to the 24-hour day and affects a majority of blind people.

"Tasimelteon's application in the treatment of blind individuals with Non-24 remains our top priority as we pursue our planned NDA submission this year," Vanda CEO Mihael Polymeropoulos said in a statement.

Vanda said last week that tasimelteon proved effective in a second late-stage trial for non-24-hour disorder and that it planned to apply for a U.S. approval for the drug in mid-2013.

Vanda has an approved schizophrenia drug called Fanapt that is sold in partnership with Novartis in the United States. It also has an experimental drug for alcohol dependence, called VLY-686, that it licensed from Eli Lilly.

Vanda's stock was trading at $4.00 before the bell. It closed at $4.34 on Wednesday on the Nasdaq. It has gained 5 percent since the company reported data for non-24-hour disorder last week.
