三種癌症標靶藥 副作用可能致命
三種癌症標靶藥 副作用可能致命
-字+字作者： 【記者蘇湘雲／綜合外電報導】 | 台灣新生報 – 2012年2月21日 下午1:01美國最新研究發現，三種新型癌症標靶藥物可能增加致命副作用風險，研究警告，雖然藥物風險很低，但患者、醫師還是不可對藥物副作用風險掉以輕心。
美國達娜‧法柏癌症研究所研究人員研究蕾莎瓦（Sorafenib）、紓癌特（Sutent）與福退癌（Votrient）三種癌症標靶藥物可能造成的副作用，結果發現，約有百分之一點五的用藥患者出現致命併發症，相較之下，接受傳統標準療程、安慰劑的患者中，只有百分之零點七出現嚴重併發症。這項研究近日已發表於「臨床腫瘤學期刊」。
蕾莎瓦被核准用來治療腎臟癌、肝癌，紓癌特則是用來治療腎臟癌與胃腸道間質瘤，而福退癌則多半用來治療腎臟癌。
研究作者托瑞‧丘伊里建議，醫師開癌症標靶藥物前，一定要謹慎評估患者用要風險，患者用藥後，出現出血、心臟病風險可能略為上升。這些都是藥物常見嚴重不良反應。研究也建議，患者若真的需要用藥，患者、醫師都要對用要風險提高警覺，如果必要，就得隨時監測用藥風險。
研究人員指出，藥物對多數患者有好處，雖然藥物致命副作用發生率很低，但用藥相對風險還是高了一點，醫師、患者都需要注意用藥可能產生的不良反應。另外，患者用藥期間，可考慮不要在這段期間開刀。心臟病患者使用癌症標靶藥物，更要留意相關藥物風險。

當今全世界心血管與腦血管疾病的死亡率，為各種疾病的死亡率之首。
不過若是睡覺醒來之後能夠「閉目養神三分鐘」，就可以大大減低中風的發生率
中風==大多==發生於==夜晚，
而且最危險的時刻是剛醒來的時候，所以睡醒時先養神休息三分鐘再起床，可以預防中風，尤其老年人、高血壓或心臟病患者更該遵行。
人經過一夜睡眠醒來以後，如果立即從臥姿改為坐姿，甚至突然下床走動，那是非常危險的。
因為這時候人身上的血液經過一夜未喝水較黏稠，頭腦較昏沈，立即下床很容易跌倒，造成腦溢血或頭顱撞傷。
只要做到睡醒「閉目養神三分鐘」就可以避免，可以說是簡單易行，值得推廣。
因此每個上了年紀的人都應該牢記：睡醒勿立即下床，先養神休息三分鐘，以免有中風的危險。
尤其是患有高血壓及心臟病的患者，一覺醒來切勿隨意搖動頭部，先躺在床上休息三分鐘再下床活動。

Fend off liver cancer
Fend off liver cancer - a nice kopi may help
Findings on protective properties apply to only S'porean Chinese though
By Poon Chian Hui
COFFEE has been demonised and blamed for many ailments including heart disease, but evidence has emerged that the drink might actually help prevent liver cancer.
A study done in Singapore has found that the more coffee you drink, the more you lower your risk of liver cancer. If you take three or more cups a day, for example, your risk could be up to 44 per cent lower than for a total abstainer.
But the fine print here is that these findings apply only to Singaporean Chinese, as they come from the first large study on the link between coffee intake and liver cancer in the segment of the local population most susceptible to the disease.
The findings, from the Singapore Chinese Health Study of more than 63,000 ethnic Chinese aged 45 to 74 living here, were recently published in the American journal Cancer Causes and Control.
When the participants were recruited for the study, they did not have liver cancer. By 2006, 360 had developed it.
Begun in 1993, the study was carried out by the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, in collaboration with researchers from the United States.
The research adds to the growing body of evidence debunking the long-held notion that coffee is bad for health. Earlier this year, other researchers had already reported, after studying 3,000 coffee drinkers here, that no detrimental effects had been brought about by the dark brew.
Researchers postulate that the liver-protecting properties of coffee come from two of the oils found in the beans: cafestol and kahweol. They are present whether your drink is a designer concoction, a kopitiam brew or a mix out of a three-in-one foil pack.
More relevant is how the coffee is made, as some brewing methods could remove the cafestol and kahweol.
For example, brews from coffee machines that use paper filters to sieve out the coffee grounds tend to contain negligible amounts of the two oils, possibly because they are absorbed by the paper.
Dark roasted coffee, like the kind sold in coffee shops here, is usually prepared by simply boiling coffee powder in a muslin bag. This method seems to preserve the oils, as is the case for other unfiltered brews such as Turkish coffee.
Associate Professor Koh Woon Puay, who was involved in the study, said the findings do not mean that people should start gorging on coffee - they just mean that coffee drinkers can now worry less as they down their brews.
She said: 'Coffee has often had to fight this bad image, compared with tea, which is often portrayed very positively.'
Indeed, coffee scores higher as far as liver cancer is concerned - her team, which also studied the effects of drinking green tea, found that it delivered no protection against the disease.
Studies similar to this instalment of the Singapore Chinese Health Study's look at the link between liver cancer and coffee have been done in Japan and Italy, and the same conclusions drawn, but the disease is not common in the two countries, so the results were less significant.
In the Republic, liver cancer is the fourth most common among men, going by data from the Singapore Cancer Registry. Between 2004 and 2008, as many as 1,758 cases were diagnosed. The illness is also the third most deadly cancer here, contributing to 16.2 per cent of all cancer deaths.
According to July 1 figures from the Singapore Liver Cancer Registry, which tracks about 2,300 patients, eight in 10 are men, mostly Chinese. A third of the patients are aged between 61 and 70.
Dr Desmond Wai of the Asian Centre for Liver Diseases and Transplantation said the study should reassure patients who might be thinking of kicking their coffee habit for fear of harming their livers. The consultant heptologist and gastroenterologist said: 'Many can't believe this convenient, inexpensive habit can protect them from liver cancer.'
The findings are likely to alter the approach some doctors take. Dr Wai explained that many tend to focus on controlling the viruses that lead to liver cancer, such as the hepatitis B virus. 'They might not realise that other methods can help, such as drinking coffee.'
Still, moderation is vital. Dr Wai said over-consumption of caffeine could trigger heart palpitations, insomnia, headaches or even panic attacks. He recommends no more than three cups a day.
Researchers involved in the Singapore Chinese Health Study also looked at whether drinking coffee could protect against colorectal cancer, the No.1 cancer here.
The results, published separately last year, suggested that coffee could lower the risk of advanced colon cancer, but only among smokers. Prof Koh said more studies were needed.
In 2008, it was found that drinking four or more cups of coffee a day might lower the risk of diabetes by 30 per cent.

Findings on protective properties apply to only S'porean Chinese though
By Poon Chian Hui
COFFEE has been demonised and blamed for many ailments including heart disease, but evidence has emerged that the drink might actually help prevent liver cancer.
A study done in Singapore has found that the more coffee you drink, the more you lower your risk of liver cancer. If you take three or more cups a day, for example, your risk could be up to 44 per cent lower than for a total abstainer.
But the fine print here is that these findings apply only to Singaporean Chinese, as they come from the first large study on the link between coffee intake and liver cancer in the segment of the local population most susceptible to the disease.
The findings, from the Singapore Chinese Health Study of more than 63,000 ethnic Chinese aged 45 to 74 living here, were recently published in the American journal Cancer Causes and Control.
When the participants were recruited for the study, they did not have liver cancer. By 2006, 360 had developed it.
Begun in 1993, the study was carried out by the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, in collaboration with researchers from the United States.
The research adds to the growing body of evidence debunking the long-held notion that coffee is bad for health. Earlier this year, other researchers had already reported, after studying 3,000 coffee drinkers here, that no detrimental effects had been brought about by the dark brew.
Researchers postulate that the liver-protecting properties of coffee come from two of the oils found in the beans: cafestol and kahweol. They are present whether your drink is a designer concoction, a kopitiam brew or a mix out of a three-in-one foil pack.
More relevant is how the coffee is made, as some brewing methods could remove the cafestol and kahweol.
For example, brews from coffee machines that use paper filters to sieve out the coffee grounds tend to contain negligible amounts of the two oils, possibly because they are absorbed by the paper.
Dark roasted coffee, like the kind sold in coffee shops here, is usually prepared by simply boiling coffee powder in a muslin bag. This method seems to preserve the oils, as is the case for other unfiltered brews such as Turkish coffee.
Associate Professor Koh Woon Puay, who was involved in the study, said the findings do not mean that people should start gorging on coffee - they just mean that coffee drinkers can now worry less as they down their brews.
She said: 'Coffee has often had to fight this bad image, compared with tea, which is often portrayed very positively.'
Indeed, coffee scores higher as far as liver cancer is concerned - her team, which also studied the effects of drinking green tea, found that it delivered no protection against the disease.
Studies similar to this instalment of the Singapore Chinese Health Study's look at the link between liver cancer and coffee have been done in Japan and Italy, and the same conclusions drawn, but the disease is not common in the two countries, so the results were less significant.
In the Republic, liver cancer is the fourth most common among men, going by data from the Singapore Cancer Registry. Between 2004 and 2008, as many as 1,758 cases were diagnosed. The illness is also the third most deadly cancer here, contributing to 16.2 per cent of all cancer deaths.
According to July 1 figures from the Singapore Liver Cancer Registry, which tracks about 2,300 patients, eight in 10 are men, mostly Chinese. A third of the patients are aged between 61 and 70.
Dr Desmond Wai of the Asian Centre for Liver Diseases and Transplantation said the study should reassure patients who might be thinking of kicking their coffee habit for fear of harming their livers. The consultant heptologist and gastroenterologist said: 'Many can't believe this convenient, inexpensive habit can protect them from liver cancer.'
The findings are likely to alter the approach some doctors take. Dr Wai explained that many tend to focus on controlling the viruses that lead to liver cancer, such as the hepatitis B virus. 'They might not realise that other methods can help, such as drinking coffee.'
Still, moderation is vital. Dr Wai said over-consumption of caffeine could trigger heart palpitations, insomnia, headaches or even panic attacks. He recommends no more than three cups a day.
Researchers involved in the Singapore Chinese Health Study also looked at whether drinking coffee could protect against colorectal cancer, the No.1 cancer here.
The results, published separately last year, suggested that coffee could lower the risk of advanced colon cancer, but only among smokers. Prof Koh said more studies were needed.
