Re: Breast Cancer and Celiac DiseaseFrom: Terrence.Jones@kp.orgWed May 24 14:51:16 2006
This is a multipart message in MIME format. --=_alternative 006CCD5688257178_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Think the more recent studies show just the opposite. Tho there are increases in small bowel cancer, and lymphoprolif dis (NHL) - this may be attributable to ascertainment bias, as their incidence appears to decrease with time. (Highest incidence is in the year following Dx.) The cohort study from Nottingham, per Dr.s West & Card (BMJ [9/2004] 329:716-19 demonstrated a reduction in breast cancer in affected Patients with OR 0.35 (0.17 to 0.72). The authors go as far to say this area may be worthy of further investigation to identify underlying mechanisms (responsible for the protected effect). /tj CONFIDENTIAL OR PRIVILEGED: This communication contains information intended only for the use of the individuals to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from other disclosure under applicable law.

This is not somethign I ahve evern seen mentioned anywhere and this week has bee a realy crazy one and the next seems to be just as over exteneded - so Ithought I would ask y'all's collective wisdom. (or TJ's!) Thanks

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
