Through a series of NHMRC grants the Australian government is supporting the Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group TROG ; to undertake scientific research into prostate cancer in Australia and New Zealand. TROG has run the largest prostate cancer trial to date 96.01 ; involving 800 men and has now commenced a second, larger trial. It is known that over 80% of prostate cancer relies on circulating androgenic hormones for growth so androgen deprivation AD ; strategies have helped patients with prostate cancer for 60 years. In its first 96.01 ; trial, TROG found that androgen deprivation therapy prior to radiotherapy improves treatment outcomes. While final results are still to be compiled, it is apparent that six-month therapy is probably superior to three months. Treatment side effects and patient inconvenience do not appear to be increased by additional therapy. Now what remains unclear is whether an additional 12 months of AD after 6 months AD and radiotherapy will do better still, or whether it will simply increase the long term side effects. Overseas trials provide some encouragement that the answer to the first question may be yes. Unfortunately, they also suggest that the answer to the second may also be yes. Indeed the benefit harm `trade offs' could be greater for some patients than others. TROG is therefore addressing these questions in its latest prostate cancer trial known as RADAR Randomised Androgen Deprivation and Radiotherapy. An exciting aspect of this trial is that it will also investigate whether the loss of bone mineral density, pathological fractures and development of secondary cancer in bones, due to androgen deprivation, may be prevented by using a medication known as "bisphosphonate". The testing of the selected bisphosphonate is a world-first and could lead to major change in prostate cancer management if shown to be effective. Androgen deprivation in this trial will be achieved with Lucrin Abbott Australasia Pty Ltd ; and the selected bisphosphonate will be Zomega Novartis Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd ; . The trial will involve 1, 000 men across nearly 30 sites in Australia and New Zealand over a five year period. Already over 100 patients have volunteered to participate. Patients eligible for the RADAR trial will have Stage T2A adenocarcinoma of the.

An unusual adverse event has been identified in some patients treated with intravenous bisphosphonates. The true incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw is unknown. Thank you very much for your attention, and you will hear a lot more about this from subsequent speakers. DR. MARTINO: Thank you, Dr. Scher and imodium. And the concentration of the solution after reconstitution by the physician. This concentration is generally 1-4 cc per vial; if it is more than that, it is too diluted and less effective. Ask your physician, you have a right to be informed. Remember cheaper is not better; you pay for what you get! The most important difference at Dr. Anthony Caglia's practice is the hands-on treatment each patient receives. "I have always performed the nonsurgical facial treatments myself, " says Dr. Caglia. "Doctors should not be delegating these procedures to untrained staff and no one other than a physician should inject Botox or Restylane. A trained physician is the best way to do it, and it's the only way we do it." Dr. Caglia has worked alongside the Texas Dermatologic Society for several years to define the use of lasers, light sources, and radio-frequency devices as the "practice of medicine" to prevent the unscrupulous practices associated with various invasive and noninvasive medical procedures administered by non-physician operators at spas, salons and clinics with off-site "medical directors". Unsupervised and unqualified non-physician staff can cause scars, burns and even permanent skin discoloration. As of December 1, 2004, a licensed physician in the state of Texas must directly supervise the non-physician office personnel to protect the best interests and welfare of each patient. The physician must physically see each patient, diagnose and formulate a treatment plan, be physically on-site, immediately available and able to respond promptly to any question or problem that may occur while the procedure is being performed and personally treat any complication. Both the physician and nonmedical personnel using these devices. Objective: Due to reservation using computers in psychiatric treatment patients with schizophrenia are supposed to suffer computer anxiety ; , computer-based cognitive training CBCT ; is still not widely used. Method: In a multicenter study patients with schizophrenia were investigated before T1 ; and after T2 ; completing a 6-week course of CBCT using COGPACKR Janssen-Cilag version ; . Besides self-rating of computer anxiety CARS ; and subjective well-being SWN ; patients underwent a semistructured interview evaluating their attitude towards the training. Results: Computer anxiety scores at T1 did not exceed normal values. At T2, they were reduced and subjective well-being increased. Patients' expectations of possible training effects were mostly fullfilled. The training ranks high in patients' judgement compared to other treatments received. Besides improvement of cognitive function, patients report increased selfesteem and progress in using computers. Conclusion: CBCT in schizophrenia is highly accepted by the patients and experienced as very effective. Supported by Janssen-Cilag, Germany References: D.

S A N Zoledronic acid prevents the profound loss in bone mineral density that often occurs with combined adjuvant endocrine therapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients, Michael Gnant, M.D., reported at a breast cancer symposium sponsored by the Cancer Therapy and Research Center. Based on new data from the Austrian Breast and Colorectal Cancer Study Group Trial 12 ABCSG-12 ; , all premenopausal breast cancer patients receiving combination adjuvant therapy with a luteinizing hormonereleasing hormone analogue, such as goserelin, plus either tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor, should undergo annual bone mineral density BMD ; testing. Those showing a treatment-related decline should be considered for intravenous zoledronic acid Zometa ; administered once every 6 months, said Dr. Gnant, professor of surgery at the University of Vienna. In a separate study presented at the conference, it was reported that zoledronic acid also effectively prevents cancer therapyinduced bone loss in postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer on adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy. The ABCSG-12 trial is a four-part study In clinical practice, the aromatase inhibitors increasingly are replacing tamox- that randomized patients to 3 years of adifen, long the standard adjuvant hormon- juvant goserelin plus either tamoxifen or al therapy, because they provide a anastrozole, with or without 3 years of zoledronic acid given at 4 mg markedly greater reduction in IV every 6 months. recurrence along with less risk After 3 years of goserelin of endometrial cancer and and tamoxifen without zolethromboembolic events.

BMD at the lumbar spine and hip increased in patients who got zoledronic acid up front and decreased in those assigned to delayed bisphosphonate therapy. Biochemical markers of bone turnover decreased from baseline to 6 months in the up-front zoledronic acid group, while increasing or remaining unchanged in the delayed-treatment arm. These early findings suggest administration of zoledronic acid from the onset of adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy may prevent cancer therapyinduced bone loss in postmenopausal women. However, longer-term follow-up is needed to fully define the effects of zoledronic acid in this population. The Novartis-sponsored Z-FAST trial is scheduled for 5 years of follow-up, said Dr. Brufsky of the University of Pittsburgh. Zoledronic acid is more expensive than pamidronate Aredia ; , the other intravenous bisphosphonate, but its infusion time is only 15 minutes, compared with 2 hours or more for pamidronate, and there are some data to suggest zoledronic acid is more effective. s. Reports of osteonecrosis also called osteochemonecrosis and bisphosphonateassociated osteonecrosis ; of the jaw associated with the use of the bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid Zometa ; and pamidronate Aredia ; , began to surface in 2003.1, 2 Zoledronic acid and pamidronate are intravenous i.v. ; bisphosphonates used to reduce bone pain, hypercalcemia of malignancy and skeletal complications in patients with multiple myeloma, breast, lung and other cancers and Paget's disease of bone. The majority of reported cases of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw BON ; have been diagnosed after dental procedures such as tooth extraction. Less commonly BON appears to occur spontaneously in patients taking these drugs.3 As of early 2006, cases of BON had also been reported in individuals taking orally administered nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, used for the treatment of osteoporosis.3-5 To date, the total number of reported cases of BON associated with alendronate Fosamax ; is approximately 170 worldwide according to Merck and Co., Inc. C. Arsver, oral communication, March 2006 ; , approximately 20 associated with risedronate Actonel ; according to Procter and Gamble M. Schorr, oral communication, March 2006 ; and approximately 1 with ibandronate Boniva ; according to Roche J. Travis, oral communication, March 2006 ; . For alendronate the most commonly prescribed oral bisphosphonate ; , this translates into a spontaneous BON incidence or rate at which new cases occur ; of approximately 0.7 cases per one hundred thousand person-years exposure. To date, a true cause-and-effect relationship has not been established. The table below lists all oral and i.v. bisphosphonates currently on the market in the U.S. Robert H.
