Breast cancer fundraisers: Think before you buy pink
Pink products are everywhere this month: pink bracelets, pink
blenders, pink cocktails, even pink on Cheerios boxes. It's Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, and that means a proliferation of pink. But
for many it's also a time to exercise caution. Just because an item is
pink or has a pink ribbon on it doesn't always mean a portion of the
sales goes to a breast cancer organization, said Kim Irish, a program
manager for San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Action.

Ipilimumab (Yervoy) is designed to treat patients with advanced
malignant melanoma - the most serious form of skin cancer - who have
already received chemotherapy.

Malgré les soins palliatifs, les demandes d'euthanasie persistent
Malgré la loi Leonetti sur la fin de vie, malgré l'essor des
structures de soins palliatifs, il demeure des personnes dont le
souhait d'une mort anticipée persiste. Une situation "inextricable"
pour les malades, pour les soignants aussi, car aucune solution ne
peut leur être proposée.
