BOB CURRIER MARCO GRAND ROUNDS OF THE AIR, June 12, 2005

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last Sunday we discussed "Prostatic Cancer." Use of Statins to prevent this disease was brought up...Family Practice News states, "Statins appear to be associated with a greatly reduced risk of advanced prostate cancer--men who used the drugs had about half the risk of advanced prostate cancer that those who did not!" WOW, there goes Pfizer's stock (Lipitor).

We will discus this and other aspects of this disease this Sunday (June 19). Harry is planning on giving us a run-down on the conformal external beam radiation now being used.

Echolink Monday 9:30 Eastern...Bill N5QF informed us of a tornado and he suddenly went off the computer! Hope he is ok.

Members seem to think using the computer broadcast of Grand Rounds is OK for Cat. II credit.
