For patients with stage II or stage III colon cancer, the difference was comparable to the difference between those who had surgery plus chemotherapy and those who had only surgery.

9. PSA doubling predicts prostate cancer recurrence
   04-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A detectable level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the first indicator of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. In a new Mayo Clinic study, the concept of PSA doubling time is found to be a reliable tool to distinguish which patients have prolonged innocuous PSA levels after therapy from those who are at great risk for disease recurrence and death from prostate cancer. Doubling time is defined as the duration for PSA levels in the blood to increase by 100 percent.

10. Short-term studies suggest that whole grain oats may reduce risk factors for coronary heart disease
    04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Trials lasting four to eight weeks indicate that including whole grain oats in your diet may lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of death and ill health. One of the risk factors for CHD is elevated blood levels of total cholesterol and of low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Existing observational studies indicate that wholegrain cereals may reduce the risk of CHD, possibly by reducing cholesterol levels.
