Reducing Pain via Hypnosis, This Week
on Your Cancer Today (TM)
Medical professionals have long sought new treatments for reducing the pain,
anxiety, and discomfort associated with cancer surgery. A new therapy,
based on hypnosis, is currently being tested as a method to alleviate
many of the side effects of surgery.
Your Cancer Today interviews Guy H. Montgomery, PhD, from the Mt. Sinai
School of Medicine. Dr. Montgomery's study looked at two groups of patients
facing surgery for breast cancer. The group
that received hypnosis prior to surgery reported less pain, nausea, and anxiety
after surgery than the control group.
There was a cost benefit as well, the average hypnosis patient reduced the
cost of treatment by an average of $772.00. Dr. Montgomery is optimistic
that hypnosis will provide similar health and financial benefits with other
forms of cancer.
How prevalent is head and neck cancer? What are the risk factors? Dr Stan
Wasbin, Medical Director for Your Cancer Today, provides an overview of head
and neck cancer, including the fact that men are 3 times as likely to contract
head and neck cancer as women.
A new treatment protocol for head and neck cancer is proving more effective than
traditional treatment. The new treatment features the use of Taxotere(R) and has
resulted in a 30% decrease in mortality in head and neck cancer patients. Dr.
Marshall Posner, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Center provides the results of his
study on head and neck cancer. Dr. Posner reports that the cure rate for many of
these cancers is now greater than 80%.
