Northern California Cancer Center. Finding Answers. Making A Difference. NCCC thanks donors for their contributions in 2006 Highlights 4 Dr. Christina Clarke studies hormone therapy use 10 Winter 2007 CEO Column: A year of giving Your donations help NCCC fulfill its mission to prevent cancer With the close of another year, my thoughts turn to the wonderful gifts the Northern California Cancer Center has received from you, our donors. You have played a critical role in our mission to find answers to imperative questions about cancer prevention and survivorship. This past year, the Northern California Cancer Center received national and international media attention for studies on the parallel declines in breast cancer diagnoses and hormone replacement therapy use, the possible prevention of non-Hodgkin lymphoma through dietary changes, and a profile of the health concerns of Vietnamese nail salon workers. Your generous contributions help us further the science of cancer for these and many other important studies. I hope you feel the same sense of pride that I do when NCCC’s work is publicly recognized. In addition, NCCC is increasing its outreach in the community. In partnership with Stanford University, NCCC is building a comprehensive outreach program by improving community cancer education, making better cancer information readily available, and improving access to cancer care. With programs and publications in English and Spanish, and the expansion of existing seminars and conferences, we are well on our way. Your support has enabled NCCC to develop and maintain resources unavailable elsewhere. NCCC committed to continuing the online Bay Area Breast Cancer Resource Guide, a comprehensive listing of breast health and breast cancer resources created by the Better Health Foundation, which closed its doors last year. In 2006, NCCC was able to count among its donors a number of new and promising partnerships. These include working with the Fremont IronCops, four members of the Fremont Police Department who raised money for NCCC through their participation in the Ironman Canada triathlon. We also received valuable sponsorship support from the Fremont Bank Foundation in bringing CBS news anchorwoman Katie Couric to San Francisco to talk about her experiences with cancer. As a nonprofit organization, it is only through your ongoing support that we can continue our essential research work and educational programs. We thank all of you for your support and formally acknowledge you in this special tribute issue of the Highlights newsletter. Donald Nielsen, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer Emma Lee Twitchell, CFRE NCCC pathway to cancer prevention and survivor care Join us in our quest to understand and advance the science of cancer We’re looking for lasting solutions in cancer prevention and survivorship. If you are interested in leaving a legacy, please consider joining us. For more than 30 years, NCCC has operated as an independent organization that depends on support from the community as well as grants to conduct research, disseminate cancer registry information and provide community programs for patients, their families and friends. Please consider how your gift can help us make a difference in the lives of individuals living with cancer. The Northern California Cancer Center gratefully acknowledges a generous gift of $50,000 from the Sophie W. Jakobsen Trust for education purposes. Ms. Jakobsen valued our efforts to educate the community and provide resources as individuals face cancer themselves or with loved ones. This generous gift will go a long way in helping us extend outreach to those who need it most. To encourage and recognize these important gifts during the donor’s lifetime, NCCC welcomes donors to the Legacy Circle. This new giving circle acknowledges intentions of future gifts of $5,000 or more through trusts, wills or other means of gift planning. For information, please call Development Director Emma Lee Twitchell at (510) 608-5051. NCCC sincerely thanks retiring board member Dr. Vincent Caggiano for his guidance and service. 2 nccc: highlights | winter 2007 Community Dr. Vincent Caggiano retires from board Dr. Vincent Caggiano, Research Medical Director for Sutter Cancer Center in Sacramento, is retiring from NCCC’s board of trustees after having spent 23 years on the board and serving as chair. In NCCC’s early years, he also served on the committee of the Northern California Oncology Group, which conducted clinical trials until the early ‘90s. He served on a number of other committees including membership and development. NCCC interviewed Dr. Caggiano about his experience as a board member. NCCC: Why did you decide to serve on the NCCC board of trustees? Caggiano: I always felt that NCCC was a nice bridge between academia and community physicians. The organization fulfilled a role that others didn’t want to, with epidemiology research, in-depth supportive care and education for cancer patients. These are things that hospitals, medical schools and academic institu- tions don’t do well. Because of the rich epidemiology background and the running of the SEER registry, NCCC has the unique opportunity to do a lot of research and to move ahead and collaborate with others on molecular research. That’s where medicine is heading, and the more we learn, the more we find out how complex it is. Having a registry and a core staff of epidemiologists is a big plus. NCCC: What did you enjoy about serving on the board? Caggiano: Most of all, meeting people from all walks of life, especially those who weren’t in the medical profession and whom I’m not ordinarily in contact with. I learned a lot from the other board members, and I hope I helped others to see me in the same way, that we all have something to offer. Coming from Sacramento, I thought it was important to show that we have to break down geographic barriers. What happens at NCCC has important ramifications elsewhere in the state and in the country. NCCC: Why did you decide to retire from the board? Caggiano: First, I’m getting on in years. I’m semi-retired and working part-time as a research physician. I’m also heavily involved in the Sutter Medical Foundation board. I couldn’t devote any more spare time. It was a New NCCC publications Community Education provides updated materials NCCC’s Community Education department has released two new publications in Spanish and two updated publications in English. “Estates: Planning Ahead (A personal manual for estate planning)” has been updated to include the latest legal guidelines for estate planning. The manual has also been newly published in Spanish as “Patrimonios: Planificacion Anticipada (Una conf licted decision, because I enjoyed serving on NCCC’s board, but I’ve lived and practiced in Sacramento for 35 years. My life and heart are here. So, instead of trying to do everything, I decided to focus on doing one thing and doing it well. NCCC: What do you like about NCCC as an organization? Caggiano: I like the people, the scientists and the professionalism, and what you’re doing. You are the unsung heroes - hospitals and medical schools get all the credit because they’re taking care of patients. But the work you’re doing in epidemiology provides us hints into what we should be studying and how. NCCC doesn’t get the hype that these other organizations get, but it fulfills a role in providing education to the public and to cancer survivors. Other organizations are only recently beginning to do this, but over the years, NCCC has done an excellent job. NCCC: What advice do you have for NCCC as an organization moving forward? Caggiano: To always keep your eyes open for opportunities. Be f lexible. We can’t be rigid in our thinking. The role of NCCC is changing, and sometimes change is perceived as a bad thing. But if you keep your mind open, change can be a good thing. Be vigilant and always look at the big picture. NCCC has done this in its evolution, and its gotten bigger, stronger and better as an organization for it. ● guia personal para la planificacion del patrimonio).” Also available is the booklet, “When Breast Cancer Hits Home - a collection of observations and suggestions for families who live with breast cancer.” The booklet contains anecdotes and tips for breast cancer survivors, their family members and friends. In addition, this booklet has been translated into Spanish as “Cuando el Cancer del Seno Golpea Nuestro Hogar - una coleccion de observaciones y sugerencias para familias que viven con el cancer del seno.” “We’re excited to be able to offer these publications for individuals living with cancer and their loved ones. We hope they will serve as resources for people who need them,” says Pamela Priest Naeve, Sam Bronfman has served on the NCCC Board of Trustees for four years, and served as chair for two. 3 nccc: highlights | winter 2007 Board Hilary Newsom Callan receives AFP award NCCC board member Hilary Newsom Callan received the “Outstanding Fundraising Volunteer” award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals-Golden Gate Chapter and Northern California Grantmakers at an award ceremony held on November 14, 2006 in San Francisco. Callan was nominated by NCCC. The award description asked for a nominee who “gave time and energy without compensation and who offers organizations and fundraising staff their talent for strategy, relationship enhancement and the successful solicitation of donations, and someone who motivates others to give.” Callan is the epitome of this description and NCCC is very proud that she was the worthy recipient of the award. “We are very privileged to have Hilary serve on our board. Her unflagging energy, tremendous enthusiasm and insightful ideas are invaluable to NCCC,” notes CEO Donald Nielsen. Callan is vice president of PlumpJack Management Group. ● Board member Hilary Newsom Callan accepts the Outstanding Fundraising Volunteer award.

Clarke, a junior research scientist with the Northern California Cancer Center, is doing highly visible work understanding the roles of hormone therapy and other risk factors in explaining breast cancer rates. Clarke has worked to understand the high rates of breast cancer in Marin and San Francisco counties as part of teams of other scientists, community agencies and the media, and more recently has been studying the parallel declines of hormone therapy use and breast cancer rates in California and the U.S. In her analysis published in the November 20, 2006 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Clarke found significant reductions in both the use of hormone replacement therapies and the incidence of breast cancer in California in the years following the release of the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), the trial that definitively established a link between hormones and breast cancer. This analysis was the first to show that breast cancer incidence drops observed in 2003 persisted in 2004, further bolstering the theory that women who discontinue hormone therapy use may reduce their chances of developing breast cancer. Clarke’s findings made national and international news in December, garnering media coverage as far away as China and Britain, as well as in U.S. media including Newsweek, the New York Times, NBC, CBS, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle. For the future, Clarke plans to focus on conducting more detailed surveillance studies of breast cancer subtypes and, with her colleagues at NCCC, designing a means of monitoring breast cancer rates in sociodemographically distinct About the Highlights Newsletter Highlights is published by NCCC 3 Northern California Cancer Center 2201 Walnut Ave., Suite 300, Fremont, CA 94538 Phone: (510) 608-5000 Fax: (510) 608-5095 Web: www.nccc.org Editor: Desirée Aquino Contributors: Donald Nielsen, Emma Lee Twitchell Photo Contributors: Debi Cooper, Steve Fisch, Caroline Kopp, Donald Nielsen, Mary Robbins communities. Clarke received her undergraduate degree in biology and immunology from Duke University and her Ph.D. in epidemiology from the University of California, Berkeley. She has over nine years of progressively responsible experience as a cancer epidemiologist at the Northern California Cancer Center. “I hope to balance the work in epidemiologic research with meaningful cancer surveillance and cancer prevention activities,” notes Clarke. At NCCC programs, you get a wonderful sense of camaraderie with other survivors. 11 nccc: highlights | winter 2007 Real Life Survivor Stories: Jennifer Wake This is third in a series of talks with breast cancer survivors She addressed 200 individuals at NCCC’s 5th Annual Alison Taylor Holbrooks/Barbara Jo Johnson Breast Cancer Conference held in San Francisco in 2006. NCCC: What have you been working on lately? Jennifer: I worked on an essay for one of the “Cup of Comfort” books, which is due out later this year. You can go to www. cupofcomfort.com to find them. I also do some freelance writing projects here and there. Jennifer Wake A mother of two young boys, Jennifer Wake was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2003 when her children were one and three years old. Wake, a freelance writer, was introduced to NCCC Community Education Director Pamela Priest Naeve through her friend Linda Childers, who had done some freelance work with the organization. NCCC: What is the benefit of an organization like NCCC to people living with cancer? Jennifer: When NCCC hosts programs like the annual conference, you get a wonderful sense of camaraderie with other survivors. With the speakers and resources NCCC provides at these programs, you get to ask questions and get answers from physicians and researchers directly. These are people who know so much about the disease. We also get to hear about new technol- ogies and how we might be able to utilize them, which is just invaluable. NCCC: What would you like people living with cancer to know? Jennifer: A valuable lesson has been, going through all of this crap of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and hair loss, you begin losing the sense that you’ll live forever. When that happens, you come away with the reality that you have more strength than you ever thought you did. For a while, I wallowed in self-pity. We called it, “riding the pity train.” But then I had an epiphany. I asked myself what would my kids do without me and then I realized that kids will go on. I’ve set up traditions for them to have without me and looked for ways to have comfort and security in the present. I know I could let it go and they’d still have these traditions and memories. NCCC hosts Body & soul program Program provides wellness, empowerment for African American church members In November 2006, the Northern California Cancer Center hosted a training session for the wellness program: Body & Soul - A Celebration of Healthy Eating & Living. The program was developed for African American churches to empower and inspire church members to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day for better health. Body & Soul is meant to address the high risk for serious and often fatal diseases among African Americans, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and many types of cancer. A diet high in servings of fruits and vegetables lowers the risk for these illnesses and is one of the easiest ways to improve one’s health. The program also serves as a gateway for church members to adopt other healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise and regular early detection cancer screenings. Participants in the training had an opportunity to learn about the successes and challenges of this evidence-based program, the tools and resources available, as well as how they could be strong partners in supporting the church in customizing the program to fit the needs of their congregation. Twenty-one participants came from organizations throughout the Bay Area and represented hospitals, faith-based programs, county health departments, community-based organizations, churches, and African American nutrition networks. The Body & Soul program was developed by the National Cancer Institute in collaboration with the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control, so it was fitting that NCCC, which sponsors the NCI’s Cancer Information Service Partnership Program in California, host a training for Bay Area community partners.
