IntroductionThe five tumor types covered in this report are set to account for nearly 898,000 new patients in 2010. Collectively, the 18 drugs in Phase III development for the gastrointestinal cancers are forecast to achieve $5,404m in sales by 2019. Not all unmet needs will be fulfilled, therefore significant commercial opportunities exist for drug developers seeking to enter the market.Scope*Examination of the gastrointestinal cancers pipeline...more

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble pro-hormones, and the two major forms are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is produced by the exposure to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B radiation Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of organ systems:* Regulates levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body by promoting their absorption of food in the intestines and calcium re-absorption in the kidneys.* It promotes bone formation and mineralization and is essential for a strong skeleton. However, at very high levels, promotes bone resumption.* It affects the immune system by promoting immunosuppressant, phagocytes, and anti-tumor activity.Sources and foods rich in vitamin DFew foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, and in many countries most of the intake of this vitamin comes from fortified products like milk, soy milk and cereals.The time of year, latitude and cloud cover affect exposure to sunlight and vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Thus, it is important for people with limited sun exposure to include good sources of vitamin D in the diet. Besides food fortified with vitamin D, natural sources include fish liver oil, fatty fish salmon, catfish, sardines, tuna,...more

The overwhelming majority of asbestos exposure comes from the workplace. Exposure to hazardous asbestos can be an impetus for disease development such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. One interesting study is called, Respiratory cancer in relation to occupational exposures among retired asbestos workers by Philip Enterline, Pierre De Coufle, and Vivian Henderson - Br J Ind Med 1973;30. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - A cohort of 1 348 men who completed their working lifetime in the asbestos industry and retired with an industry pension during the period 1941-67 was observed through 1969 for deaths. The average length of employment in the asbestos industry for these men was 25 years and all had exposures to asbestos dust. In some instances these exposures were very high and continued for many years. Mortality for this cohort of men after age 65 was 147% higher than for the entire population of United States white men living at the same ages and time periods. This excess was due almost entirely to cancer and respiratory disease. The cancer excess was chiefly due to respiratory cancer where mortality was 2-7 times the expected. The respiratory disease excess was entirely due to...more
