ASCO Update: Emerging agents to change the landscape of ovarian cancer treatment

June 8, 2010 Analysis by: Jason Tse

ASCO or the American Society of Clinical Oncology has recently come out & said that they have had “encouraging” results with parp inhibitor drugs when combined with chemotherapy in the fight against breast & ovarian cancer. These drugs are Avastin, olaparib, AMG386, farletuzumab & voreloxin. Avastin is the frontrunner in these drugs & hopefully will be approved in 2011 to fight Ovarian Cancer.

As far as “lip gloss” goes… this is a direct quote from his show that aired 6/2/10

“What could be more harmless than a little shine on your rosy lips? Well, as it turns out, lots of things, because the shine in lip gloss comes from petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of oil drilling, and when you spread it on your lips, you end up eating it, which is essentially the same as drinking gasoline. Add up the amount of lip gloss the average woman uses (and consumes) over a decade, and it equals 7 pounds. The European Union has banned many petroleum jelly products, and experts are concerned they could be linked to cancer. Women with breast cancer have twice the levels of hydrocarbons (substances found in petroleum jelly) in their breasts than women who haven’t had breast cancer.”
