COLORECTAL CANCER USUALLY BEGINS AS A SLOW-GROWING POLYP ON THE INNER LINING OF THE COLON.
THE DISEASE RARELY PRODUCES SYMPTOMS IN ITS EARLY STAGES--
BUT LATER ON, SIGNS OFTEN INCLUDE A CHANGE IN BOWEL MOVEMENTS, RECTAL BLEEDING, ABDOMINAL PAIN, UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS, AND CONSTANT FATIGUE.
DOCTORS SAY THE BEST THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT COLON CANCER CAN BE CURED IF DETECTED EARLY.
THEY ALSO RECOMMEND ROUTINE SCREENING FOR PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 50.//

RESEARCHERS ARE MAKING ADVANCES IN THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN TUMORS... BY USING A NEW, LESS-INVASIVE TECHNIQUE THAT ONLY TARGETS CANCEROUS CELLS.
THE NOVALIS (NO'VALIS) SYSTEM COMBINES COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, CAT SCANS, AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING TO HELP DETERMINE THE EXACT LOCATION AND SIZE OF THE TUMOR.
RADIATION BEAMS ARE THEN SHAPED LIKE THE TUMOR TO ENSURE A PRECISE ATTACK, WHILE SPARING ANY DAMAGE TO HEALTHY BRAIN CELLS.//

The parents of Hugh Finn joined in a vigil outside a Northern Virginia nursing home yesterday.
Finn has been comatose since a 19-95 car accident.
His wife and other family members had his feeding tube removed, which means Finn will eventually die.
Governor Gilmore filed a suit to stop the removal, but on Friday the state supreme court threw it out.
