The drug, which is also approved for use against anal warts, acts against the human papillovirus (HPV) microbe which is thought to be an etiological factor in many anal cancers.

Researchers have noticed that certain types of cancers, such as anal, lung, Hodgkin’s, melanoma or liver cancer are more common in this group. People with HIV have a 60% higher chance of developing these cancers than do people who don’t have HIV. Researchers looked at 66,840 patients who had cancer and did not have HIV and 33,420 who had cancer and did have HIV. The types of cancers the researchers were looking for (anal, lung, liver, etc) were cancers that were considered non-AIDS-defining cancers, unlike a cancer like Karposi’s sarcoma, which is closely linked to AIDS. The researchers aren’t sure about why the HIV population has the higher risk. While a lon...

It is timely as I think about the death of Farrah Fawcett. Farrah may have lost her battle with cancer, but she never quit. During high school, all the girls wanted to look like Farrah. Some of the girls succeeded in copying her tousled locks, and some of them - like me - didn’t no matter how hard we worked at it. Then at college, almost 4 out of 5 guys had her poster on their wall. She was an icon for my generation and so it is disturbing to lose her to a horrible bout with cancer. Her battle with anal cancer is well known and also well documented by Farrah herself in a documentary she worked on during h...

HIV-positive men were estimated to be eighty times more likely to get it. Although anal cancer accounts for less than 5 percent of all digestive and intestinal tract cancers, the rates have increased 160 percent over a thirty- year period. Gay African-American men have the sharpest increase and the lowest survival rates. Interestingly, anal cancer in gay men is as common as cervical cancer was in women before the use of the Pap smear, the test that screens for precancerous le...

Farrah’s spent the last couple of years fighting not only the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but also the tabloids and paparazzi in an effort to protect her privacy. Having cancer is bad enough, but having to live it out in the eyes of the paparazzi and tabloids that ‘enthusiastically ‘ announce to the world that ‘”Farrah’s Cancer Is Back!” (as the National Enquirer did in 2007) must be the pits. Seems it&#8217...

The same paper is now saying that Farrah's cancer has returned. According to the article, doctors have found a small, malignant polyp. The actress was previously treated with radiation and chemotherapy. The new plan would be to place a small metallic seed in the area that would kill the cancerous polyp. Can't believe everything you read -- especially from this source. Even if it is true that her cancer has recurred, I think most of what is said in the article is probably wrong.
