Compliance And Cost: Bitter Pills To Swallow In The Age Of Oral Chemotherapy
Though the growing shift toward oral chemotherapy agents offers cancer patients greater freedom and independence during their treatment, physicians say use of the new medications also poses more chances for patients to skip doses, miss prescription refills, and take their drugs in a dangerous way. An increasing number of cancer patients who receive chemotherapy now do so at home, with the click of a pill bottle each day rather than the drip of an IV medicine that must be delivered in a doctor"s office or hospital.

Newsweek Magazine Reporters Win Second Annual Endocrine Society Award For Excellence In Science And Medical Journalism

Today, The Endocrine Society announced Newsweek Reporters Barbara Kantrowitz and Patrice Wingert recipients of the Society"s second annual Award for Excellence in Science and Medical Journalism. The co-authors of the winning article, "Uh, O!" (O for Oprah) were honored last night at the Society"s 91st Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. The award was created to recognize outstanding reporting that enhances the public understanding of health issues pertaining to the field of endocrinology. Working against the backdrop of several Oprah shows on bioidentical hormones that aired this past winter as well as Suzanne Somers"s controversial theories on aging, the reporters investigated and produced a scientifically-based piece on the risks and benefits of hormone therapy. The article appeared in the February 9, 2009 issue of Newsweek Magazine. The award consists of a presentation piece, $2,000 honorarium, and travel expenses to Washington, DC to receive the award. The award was presented by Robert M. Carey, M.D., president of The Endocrine Society, at ENDO 09, the annual meeting of the Society.
