Fwd: BBC-Semen 'may fuel cervical cancer'/ Cantwell 31 Aug 06

[Guest guest]

Vioxx-Merck is working toward approval within 60 days of MANDATORY cervical

cancer inoculation for ALL public school girls aged 11 and 12-- at a cost of

over $400 per vaccination.--certainly to be subsidized by feds- the numbers here

are about as bazaar as with the " SARS-w/Wings " (Bird Flu) scam and the danger to

all of us is as great; after all we are dealing with ALL the mothers of ALL of

future America.(minus any " new-found " illegal workforce, of course)

 

Can you visualize this news headline in 15 yrs or so?---

OOPS--Merck errs, blames incomplete earlier research and huge demand; will

survive legal attack due to 15 yr old BioShield legislation.

First it was the human papilloma herpes virus transmitted via

intercourse as the cause of cervical cancer -- and ergo, the new

" preventive " vaccine against this virus.

 

Now the plot thickens with the " fueling " of cervical cancer with a

" hormone-like molecule in semen " , and the recommendation that women

with cervical-uterine cancer have their partner use a condom.

 

The late Virginia Livingston MD, who was accused of being a quack for

many years, always advised care in the sexual arena because she

believed that cancer was infectious and could be spread via sexual

conduct. Now, decades later, her advice -- which was once thought

LUDICROUS -- is being taken more seriously by some researchers (see

story below) .

 

More proof that the old adage that " cancer is NOT contagious " -- needs

to be evaluated in light of newer knowledge.

Cancer Quack Or

Medical Genius?

Semen 'may fuel cervical cancer'

The growth of cervical and womb cancers may be fuelled by a

hormone-like molecule in semen, a study suggests.

 

The Medical Research Council team found that the exceptionally high

levels of prostaglandin fuelled tumour growth.

 

The researchers urged women with either cancer to ask their partners

to wear condoms during sex.

 

But a cancer expert said the chances of unprotected sex affecting a

patient's outcome was " slight " , and women would be getting appropriate

treatment.

 

The likelihood of any unprotected sex affecting the successful outcome

of their treatment is considered slight

Professor John Toy, Cancer Research UK

 

Cervical cancer is usually triggered by the human papilloma virus.

 

There are around 2,800 cases each year in the UK. In 2004, the latest

year for which there are figures, there were just over 1,000 deaths

from the disease.

 

It is the second most common cancer in women under 35.

 

But scientists believe other factors are involved in causing the virus

to develop into cancer.

 

Potential treatment

 

Prostaglandin occurs naturally in the cells which line the female

reproductive organs. Its role is to regulate cell growth and direct the

womb lining to either thicken or shed during the monthly menstrual

cycle.

 

But the concentration of prostaglandin in semen is 1,000 times higher.

 

Cervical and womb (uterine) tumour cells have prostaglandin receptor

molecules on their surface.

 

The MRC team exposed cancerous tissue to prostaglandin.

 

They found that the influx of prostaglandin in semen boosted the

normal level of signalling between cells.

 

This high volume starts new cascades of signals that eventually lead

to an increase in tumour growth.

 

The researchers say the finding may help develop a treatment which

could stop prostaglandin reaching the tumour cell receptors, and

therefore slow the progress of a cancer.

 

Smear tests

 

Dr Henry Jabbour, who led the research, added there was action women

could take now.

 

" Sexually active women who are at risk of cervical or uterine cancer

should encourage their partners to wear a condom to prevent increased

exposure to the prostaglandins that might make their condition worse.

 

''This also highlights the potential for a new therapeutic approach

that will tackle both possible sources of prostaglandin - those

produced naturally by women and those introduced to the body by

sperm.''

 

And he said women with pre-cancerous cells may also be affected as it

was possible those cells also had prostaglandin receptors, though more

work was needed to look into that.

 

Professor John Toy, medical director at Cancer Research UK, said:

" This an interesting piece of laboratory research but it has little

relevance to women already diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK

because they will already be receiving appropriate anti-cancer

treatment.

 

" The likelihood of any unprotected sex affecting the successful

outcome of their treatment is considered slight.

 

" The most important thing that women can do at this time to prevent

cervical cancer from developing is to go for regular cervical smear

tests. "
