MORE FROM JUDYTH ON CANCER RESEARCH AND BIOWEAPONS, PART II
Note that these seminars used to be very, very important and exclusive. It took 42 years to make the reports accessible to the public. The format has changed, though: it used to last longer and the reports could last up to 45 minutes and were extremely technical. There was no panel format.

An opportunity to gain a better understanding of how medical reporters decide which advances in cancer research should be reported to the public is available beginning this week at http://www.cancereducation.com.
For the first time in the 42-year history of the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Science Writers Seminar, the three and a half days of lectures on some of the latest cancer research – unfiltered by the press – may be viewed in their entirety via a special audiovisual presentation on the CancerEducation.com web site.
The seminar brings together some 30 top medical reporters and 30 leading cancer researchers to learn from one another in scientific and social sessions.
"This will be a rare opportunity for the public to hear these cancer research papers delivered on a level that is not quite as complex as they would be at a scientific meeting but with a sophistication geared to reporters who follow the cancer field," said Michael S. Weiss, CEO of CancerEducation.com. "At the same time, the public can see how these beat reporters probe the scientists to see what news is the hottest and how certain they are of their conclusions."
The format of the seminar involves two sessions a day, with four or five panel members giving 10-minute talks. Each talk is followed by 10 minutes of questioning from the reporters. Before each panel, the session chairperson briefs the reporters on the context of the papers they are about to hear.
Viewers can log in at their leisure to catch what is of interest during the 14 hours of sessions, or come back time after time to see the entire seminar. They may also see the full program and read the papers presented by visiting the News Room.
"Observing reporters and scientists communicate with one another should be a real boost for both patients and clinicians in their understanding of how research news is presented and delivered," said Harmon Eyre, MD, chief medical officer of the ACS.
"Our hope is that this unique collaboration with CancerEducation.com will be a valuable tool to help people make truly informed medical decisions."
Viewers will notice that the seminar’s opening panel is on women’s cancer and includes presentations on ovarian, endometrial, cervical and vulvar cancer. The women’s cancer panel is followed by one on colorectal cancer, then one on alternative and complementary therapies – which includes presentations on high-dose vitamin C, acupuncture against chemotherapy-induced nausea, anticancer activity of Japanese maitake mushrooms and the herbal remedy PC-SPES.
Other panels cover cancer genetics, breast cancer and prostate cancer. The breast cancer panel includes presentations on antidepressants used to fight hot flashes and the risk of experiencing fuzzy thinking even a decade after chemotherapy. The prostate cancer panel delves into the provocative question of whether the era of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing has led to a reduced death rate from the disease.
"It’s not always so easy to defend one’s research to a room full of skeptical reporters who have heard it all before," said Dr. Marc Lippman, director of the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University and chairman of CancerEducation.com’s medical advisory board.

I can't help, Mr. Viklund, but your words SMELL...what is your intention here on this forum, what is your profession, where do you come from, are you one of those Judyth Stalkers out of the fishy McAdams Team, operating with her stolen manuscript? Asylum-seeker, provisional asylum, blabla... I don't give a damn, Mr. Viklund. Judyth has a story to tell, don't interrupt her with this uninteresting of topic asylum quibble.
