Radiation oncologists have found that giving less radiation than usual is just as effective against a benign but potential devastating brain tumor called an acoustic schwannoma, and better yet, might save more of the patient's hearing. They compared two groups among 115 patients with acoustic schwannomas treated at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital between 1994 and 2005. Both had effective tumor control, but those who received the lower radiation dose had more hearing preserved.

- Bacteria from patient's dental plaque causes ventilator-associated pneumonia
03-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Patients admitted to a hospital's intensive care unit already are seriously ill, so the last thing they need is a new infection. Unfortunately, statistics show that as many as 25 percent of all patients admitted to the ICU and placed on ventilators develop pneumonia, which can be fatal. Ironically, it turns out that the patient’s own dental plaque is a major source of germs that cause ventilator-associated pneumonia.

- Pre-treatment blood test could guide lung cancer therapy
06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A multi-center team, led by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators, has developed a new pre-treatment blood test that predicts which non-small-cell lung cancer patients will live longer when they are treated with certain targeted cancer therapies (Iressa, Tarceva). The mass spectrometry-based test, described in the June 6 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, may allow physicians to select the most beneficial therapy for each lung cancer patient, a step forward in the era of personalized medicine.
