Several earlier studies have found that, among patients with a history of colon polyps or cancer, regular aspirin treatment prevents the recurrence of precancerous polyps. However, the ability of aspirin to reduce the long-term incidence of invasive cancer has not been well-demonstrated. Our study did find a protective effect of long-term aspirin use on risk of invasive colorectal cancer, but only at dosage levels considerably higher than those used to prevent cardiovascular disease.

We can't make a recommendation that you could take an aspirin a day to prevent both heart disease and colorectal cancer.

If everything works out -- if IGF-2 status is tied to colon cancer risk in people and the blood test is workable -- then IGF-2 status could be the colon cancer equivalent of cholesterol levels as a risk factor for heart disease. We've never had a broad molecular screening tool like that for any cancer.

The United States should follow Ireland's example. This study demonstrates why states need to enact a strong smoke-free law that covers all workplaces, including restaurants and bars. Every time we're exposed to secondhand smoke, we're exposed to thousands of chemicals that cause cancer, heart disease and other serious respiratory conditions.

Nanotechnology's potential is vast and it's real. The opportunity for nanotechnology ranges from improving Olympic sports equipment to discovering better treatments for Alzheimer's disease. But our ability to reap the long-term benefits of nanotechnology -- in areas from energy production to medicine -- will depend on how well industry and government manage the safety and performance of this first generation of products.

For the epigenetic processes, these are much more dynamic than DNA, and just as important because this is what controls what is being expressed and what is being repressed. Because of that, any type of toxicant in the environment that interacts with these processes can affect disease outcome.

I don't think it's black and white. It's important to know that a lot of these studies have been done in diseased populations. These vitamins are not drugs. They can't be expected to cure or reverse 20, 30 or 40 years of disease.

Fertilization is a very basic cell interaction, a very important medical, economic and social interaction. And it's also a paradigm of how other cells interact, because every cell in our body is near or in close contact with other cells. And when those interactions break down you can get cancer and other diseases. So identifying these molecules could give us a better idea of the lock and key necessary for everyday functioning, not only in terms of preventing infertility but also for preventing disease.

It's an issue of patient safety. We're not talking about Viagra and narcotics abuse. We are talking about people with breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes on established medication. Who is going to be liable for these people going off medical regimens and suffering or even dying?

Right now, there's nobody out there to turn people on,.. This is the disease of Muhammad Ali.. With Muhammad, every time he did something, it was excitement. It's excitement now, when the guy comes around, walking around with Parkinson's. It's unfair to try to compare anybody to this kid.

It is doubly important for African American women to pay attention to heart disease and stroke risk factors because the prevalence of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is 44.7 percent for African American women compared to 32.4 percent in white women. We want women to know their risk factors and support each other in making the right choices everyday to reduce their risks.

What makes cancer so hard in terms of really conquering the disease is its complexity. There are myriad genetic changes that drive the processes that are cancer, and every one of those can be a little different from one human to another.

Previous studies have suggested that abnormal levels of thyroid stimulating hormone may represent a cardiac risk factor, the way that increased cholesterol or smoking are risk factors for heart disease.

Our goal is to identify biomarkers, to be able to diagnose people early in the disease stage, hopefully, even before cognitive symptoms start.

In my dreams, I see 10 to 20 years from now, people who are 50 to 55 years old will get a cognitive evaluation, a PIB scan followed by a CSF test, combined with genetic markers. And the doctor will be able to tell people on an individual basis their risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.

From a healthcare provider's viewpoint, bacterial meningitis is extremely difficult to detect and diagnose because the early symptoms, like a headache or fever, are not unique to this disease and thus there are no definite symptoms that say, 'this person is the one with meningitis.' That person can then be dead within 12 hours.

It's not as simple as exercise will prevent all falls, but it can prevent a lot of falls. There are people who have disease situations -- stroke, Parkinson's, inner ear problems, they've had a hip replacement or they've had joint issues. There are situations where it's a little more complicated, and we help those people as well. But there's this other whole large group of people.
