Of the total number of subjects [N=3884] in Phase II and III clinical studies of Sitagliptin, 725 patients were 65 years and over, while 61 patients were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years and over and younger subjects. While this and other clinical experience have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

Statin drugs are not well proven for women, and may contribute to the insulin resistance. Weight loss and very low carb diet may result in independent improvements in lipid profile.

I take 1000mg of Metformin twice a day, 100mg of Januvia(Sitagliptin) once a day and i take 25mg of Levothyroxin once a day. I also just started 150mg of Ranitidine twice a day for my stomach pain that makes me always feel nauseaous, and 100mg of Loratidine once a day for allergies. and today im starting taking Vitamins that i had stopped for a while.

Studies have indeed show that high blood glucose may predispose to cancer and cancer cells primarily run on glucose. Views on this are diverse and while further studies may need to be done, it is still up to the patient to take this. Westernized approach of cancer has involved chemotherapy and medications while eastern medicine have been employing dietary approach in management of diseases for a long time. Discuss this with your doctors for proper management. Take care and best regards.

I am afraid of the idea of having penile cancer but am only 18 and the last time I had sex was 3.5 months ago. I have have had a painless red rash around my urethra and part of the head of the penis for almost 2 months. I'm worried because STD tests came back negative so I'm wondering if it is HPV that has manifested it into a cancer?

This is a forum on Ovarian Cancer, and as such, you will probably not find your answer here. You would probably have better luck if you asked your question in the Gynocology, Women's Health, or Pregnancy forums. Good luck to you.

As you might already know, I had a mc in Dec. My cycles haven't regulated yet and I'm not 100% sure that I have ovulated each month (this month I didn't get a pos. opk...last month I did...my cm isn't coinciding with my fertility friend tempings that say I ov'd...etc.) SO my doctor had said to me in February that if my cycles weren't normal in a couple months that she could give me something to help me out with regularity and ov'ing...

I could be mistaken - but I have looked the evidence over and talked with people here and the theory of RAI and cancer you talk about is reversed. I as an RAI patients back in 2003 was recently informed by an ENT that people that do have RAI - that develop nodules are at a higher risk on the nodule being carcimona. That is not very enlightening for me b/c they found I do have a solid nodule now. I am on Armour - no there is no blood. //// yuckie..... Graves speeds up your body.

I think it would be best to google and get informed about sugar's effect upon cancer--as there are numerous and valid studies that are contrary to the doctor's response, here. my oncologist agrees that cancer indeed likes sugar and thrives on it. sugar also suppresses the immune system.. there are so many varied opinions--and each is subjective. you must go within to find the answer that is right for YOU--it's your body, your life.

I don,t know if anybody has seen this before , a friend sent it to me it is about the findings of an Italian Oncologist in relation to his findings that cancer is a fungus and to treat it is very simple. I found it very interesting . Angihttp://www.know-the-cause.com/Shows/TullioSimonciniMDWithDougKaufmann/tabid/109/Default.aspx ALSO: www.cancerfungus.

I feel pressure all the time too. Can anyone tell me if you have a high risk of getting cancer if you have had cysts and endo in past? Thanks!

She refused, and saw another doctor who helped with treatments while pregnant. She got rid of the cancer and gave birth to my cousin! Today, my cousin is 18 years old and perfectly healthy! And technology has changed a lot since then! Hopefully your friend has just as good of doctors...so sorry she is going through this, I wish her the best! Cancer has hit my family hard in the past recent months, I know how hard it can be.

My family immediately went into action because, unknown to me, ovarian cancer runs in my family. I have a great-aunt who died on my mothers side and every other female since has had hysterectomies after pre-cancerous cells, tumors and solid cysts were found. On my father side my aunt became infertile at a young age due to pre-cancerous tumors on her ovaries and had them removed at age 30. My grandmother also had to have a hysterectomy for the same reasons.

I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago (ovarian cancer but no chemo) and have since developed chronic migraines + headaches, allergy to cat hair that was treated with allergy shots over 2 years, and an exacerbated dust allergy that did not respond to shots. My migraines involve great sensitivity to odours and sounds. You are well within your rights to ask people around you (at work or school) not to wear perfumes because most of the new perfumes are chemical-based.

Through donations on this web page and philanthropic foundations we have been able to expand our basic science efforts as well as initiated and run two clinical trials in Edmonton. In collaboration with the Cross Cancer Institute and the Alberta Cancer Board, we are running clinical trials in patients with solid tumours that have failed standard therapies as well as in patients with malignant brain tumours.

Before I address your specific questions, let me assure you that your breast cancer and the risk for cancer related to HPV infections are not know to be related. These are independent processes. In addition, it is my impression that you have researched the topic and thus are aware that, for better or worse, at present HPV is a "fact of life" and most people have it or will have it at some point in the future.

I found out after having sex with this man, that he has cancer. He said he did a few treatments and then quit going because the treatments made him sick. I am not sure how long ago he had this treatment as I have quit seeing him. Sex was unprotected and I thought was safe, But.. that's why I need to know what can happen to me?

At 47, I have had 4 CAT scans, 5 MRIs, and numerous X-Rays (the result of a rare migraine disease, and life as an athlete). What can I do to avoid radiation induced cancer later in life?
