Spring - Feist-Weiller Cancer Center

Feist-Weiller
Cancer Center
THE CURE LIES IN
RESEARCH
Feist-Weiller Cancer Center
is the only academic
cancer center in north Louisiana. The difference between a
traditional cancer center and an academic cancer center is an
emphasis on research. The faculty of the Feist-Weiller Cancer
Center has a commitment to research that is bringing us one step
closer to curing cancer with each new discovery.
The Idea Grants give the scientists $20,000 to $80,000 to pursue
their new idea and develop preliminary findings. Using these new
findings they can then go after much larger funding ($200,000–
$500,000) from the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer
Society, Department of Defense and other national sources. Our
investigators have been able to leverage $1.4 million in Idea
grants into $11.4 in national funding. New funding is needed to
highlight some new findings.
Some of the research happening now at Feist-Weiller
Cancer Center is helping to make life-saving discoveries
in the following areas:
Feist-Weiller Cancer Center Director Glenn Mills, MD, along with
researchers in New York, Boston, Seattle, and Minneapolis, have
worked together to create a set of screening criteria for colon
cancer through guidelines for colonoscopy screenings. This is the
first set of guidelines for colon cancer screening, and the system
will help doctors catch potential colon cancers earlier for better
treatment and prognoses for patients. This research was funded
by a National Cancer Institute grant and another Basic Scientist
Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research grant.

Cancer
IN LOUISIANA
I hope all of you had the opportunity to watch the “Emperor of All Maladies”
on LPB. This is a wonderful Ken Burns documentary on the story of cancer
research and treatment in our country from the 1940’s to the present. It is
amazing the progress we have made and what the future holds for cancer
treatment. As part of the cancer week celebration I had an opportunity to
participate in a special LPB broadcast - Cancer in Louisiana - before the
premier of the documentary. I was one of 4 “cancer experts” who formed
a panel to field questions from the studio audience of people with cancer,
cancer survivors and volunteers from cancer support organizations. The
breadth and depth of the questions by the audience was impressive. Prior
to the show LPB had done a survey to assess the knowledge and opinions
of citizens in our state.
The answer to one of the questions was quite surprising to me. When
asked what is the most common cause of “Cancer in Louisiana”, over 40%
of the respondents said environmental pollution and toxins, 30% said diet
and only 10% said smoking. While it is true that 30% of the cancer in our
state is related to diet, 40% is due to smoking. Environmental toxins cause
less than 5% of the cancers in Louisiana.

ARTS IN MEDICINE
has received grants from the
Shreveport Regional Arts Council
(SRAC) with funds from the
Louisiana Division of the Arts
and a second grant from
SRAC with funds from the
City of Shreveport.
We all need to be reminded that smoking is the number one cause
of cancer in our state. We have one of the highest smoking rates in the
country for both adults and children. It is estimated that the health care
costs related to smoking in our state are almost $1.5 billion dollars and that
over $660 million dollars are spent annually by our state in Medicaid dollars
to take care of patients with cancer, lung and heart disease all induced by
smoking. That means that every household in Louisiana spends $663 tax
dollars to care for these smokers. Smokers miss more days of work and
their children have more health issues. Clearly we need to do a better job
of tackling this problem and reducing smoking in our state. I encourage all
of you to get involved. Help us reduce smoking!
If you are interested in learning more about this problem and possible
solutions I encourage you to go to The Tobacco Free Kids Organizations
web site — www.tobaccofreekids.org — to learn more. Visit the FWCC home
page and follow the link on smoking for more information on this topic. I
would be happy to talk to anyone who would like to have more information
and learn how to get involved at (318) 813-1423.
THE CURE LIES IN RESEARCH CONTINUED FROM FRONT COVER
The Innovative North Louisiana Experimental Therapeutics
Program (INLET) in Shreveport is focused on the discovery
and development of a wide range of drugs that affect multiple
diseases in humans, including cancer, diabetes, fungal infection,
and neurological disorders. Lead by Jim Cardelli PhD, INLET
has developed partnerships with many of the Louisiana
Universities, start up companies and venture capitalists to
generate a revenue stream to fund movement of drugs from
the discovery phase through commercialization of medicines.
MN, FNP-CP, found through their research who is most likely to
contract Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and why the virus stays
with certain people while the virus is cleared by others’ immune
system. HPV is a leading cause of cervical cancer in women,
and head and neck cancers in both men and women. The team
found that 41.9% of women ages 18-59 tested positive for
HPV, and factors like education, socioeconomic status, marriage
status, and having health insurance coverage are all inversely
related to women’s HPV risk.
Feist-Weiller Medical Oncologist and faculty member Prakash
Peddi, MD, and Head and Neck Surgery Director and
Otolaryngologist Cherie-Ann Nathan, MD, FACS, discovered
that patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the
head and neck had better outcomes on the chemotherapy
drug cisplatin than patients who received cetuximab. Even at
lower than recommended doses, cisplatin was found to be
more effective at weaker doses than cetuximab. The research
also found that patients who took cisplatin had fewer disease
relapses and lived longer than those who took cetuximab.
Finally, LSU Health Shreveport microbiologist Lindsey HuttFletcher, PhD, has been studying Epstein–Barr virus (EBV),
which is one of the eight herpes viruses, and most commonly
known as the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis in
adolescents. The virus is responsible for causing cancers like
Hodgkin’s and Burkitt’s lymphoma, along with head and neck
cancers. Dr. Fletcher has discovered how EBV invades healthy
cells, which will help her to develop a vaccine for EBV.
Feist-Weiller Biostatistician Runhua Shi, MD, MPH, PhD, along
with Medical Oncologists Srinivas Devarakonda, MD, and
Glenn Mills, MD, FACP, and Nurse Practitioner Lihong Liu,
All of these exciting research projects, and many others, have
been made possible through Feist-Weiller Cancer Center’s
dedication to discovery through research. For more information

MELLANEA AND MAX ROSENBLOOM FUND FOR PAIN MEDICATION
Mellanea and Max Rosenbloom Fund provides pain medications for those cancer patients who have no other
resources. Established over 20 years ago, this fund has helped thousands of cancer patients at Feist-Weiller.
The rising cost of medicine has more than doubled in recent years along with the number of patients who need
help. Over the last 12 months, over 1,251 prescriptions have been covered by this fund — costing over $36,000.
This money comes from generous donations for community. In order to continue to help our cancer patients
Feist-Weiller needs to raise $3,000 each month.
