Getting back to the blogging groove after 3 weeks on the road at successive conferences (AUA, ASCO and EHA) is a bit of a shock, so the first post will be short and pithy. AUA will be remembered for incredibly unsocial and early 6am education session starts.  No thanks, with three meetings in a row stamina trumps insanity by a long shot.  At ASCO, the Chicago venue is sprawling with long walks between sessions that appear to have no theme or cohesion around them and of course, the Press Room is way out in left field over the walkway no matter where you need to go.  The S406 Vista Room was particularly bad and became notorious for the #blisterwalk on Twitter.  Never again will I complain about switching between Halls A and F at Orlando, that’s a piece of cake by comparison! The second big difference I noticed between US and EU meetings was the presence or absence of chotchkes.  In the US they are now verboten of course, but the EU has no such constraints. Now, I’m not sure a branded laptop sleeve or a Post-it pad ever made a difference to prescribing habits, but well done journal reprint carriers with a clear summary of the data do make a difference in oncology.  They help reinforce the efficacy, survival curves and key messages to your audience

While on the road here in San Francisco at the American Urology Association, I received an email from someone about latest news surrounding the breast cancer vaccine published in Nature Medicine . Expecting to find some snippets on how this vaccine might work and the usual blah blah blah about clinical trials starting soon, I was rather aghast at the hype and furore surrounding this issue from many reporters touting it as the next big thing – despite not a single study having yet started in humans

The physiology in Ayurveda is unique because it is based upon the three doshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These three biological elements together constitute the structural and functional unit of all living cells, tissues, organs and the body as a whole. When normal, they constitute the three basic tissues or pillars termed as “Tridhatoos” which stabilize life, but when abnormal, the same three elements are responsible for aging, disease, and death; and hence they are termed as “Doshas”

Past American Urological Association (AUA) meetings have seen a lot of same old, same old with very little that is new in the way of truly innovative and exciting new developments.  In many ways, prostate cancer is the male equivalent of ovarian cancer, with pharma companies considering it after the breast, lung and colorectal cancers, despite prostate cancer being fairly large in terms in epidemiology, from a pure numbers perspective.

“The drug, also known as sorafenib, extended lives by an average of 2.8 months at a cost of 27,000 pounds ($38,853) for each patient, NICE said. The Leverkusen, Germany-based company had offered to pay for every fourth pack of Nexavar when used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of cancer that starts in the liver. Few patients with the disease are able to undergo the surgery that could potentially cure them, NICE said.”   Source: Bloomberg No surprises there really and consistent with the approach the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has taken over the last few years.
