1. Melanoma -- Cancers
   Melanoma is one of the few cancers that has shown regression without treatment. Spontaneous partial regression can be common, but complete and permanent regression is rare, with only 33 cases being documented in the world's literature. It has been suggested that spontaneous regressions occur because the patient’s immune system rejects the cancer. This observation has caused physicians to try treatments with interferons, interleukins, vaccines and other treatments that stimulate the immune system to react against the malignant melanoma.
2. Cancer -- Patients
   Cancer patients, for the first time in the history of oncology, are visibly returning to the athletic arena and workplace. Patients are living longer with either quiescent persistent disease or even complete, durable remissions. The stories of Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de France after treatment for metastatic testicular cancer, or Tony Snow, who was working as the White House Press Secretary as of June, 2007 despite relapsed colon cancer, continue to be an inspiration to cancer patients everywhere.
3. Cancer -- Studies
   Studies show men in Japan and China have as much as 90 percent less prostate cancer than American men. With the large number of immigrants in Hawaii from Japan, researchers at the University of Hawaii set out to determine why this difference exists. Their research involved Japanese-Americans including first generation immigrants and their offspring. This was known as the migrant study.What they found was that cancer rates varied between Japan and Hawaii and that cancer rates varied between generations within Hawaii.
4. Lance Armstrong -- Cancer
   Although Lance Armstrong's seven victories in the Tour de France are sweet, the battle against cancer has just begun - not just for him, but for all cancer survivors and people just like him who think cancer could not affect them. He plans to lead this fight, and he hopes that you join him. This is a life he owes to cancer.
5. American Cancer Society -- Disease
   Relay For Life [I]s The American Cancer Society's signature activity and plays a key role in meeting the Society's mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. Since Relay began in 1985, teams across the country have joined together to walk or run laps throughout an entire nightto honor those lost to the disease, celebrate those who have survived, and heighten awareness of cancer prevention and early detection. In 2005, 16 corporations raised nearly $6 million through the Relay For Life National Corporate Team Program.
6. Armstrong (Armstrong, Lance - Cyclist) -- Cancer
   Armstrong embarked on the most aggressive form of chemotherapy available and underwent surgery to remove cancer that the treatments couldn't reach. Five months after his diagnosis, he resumed training under a cloud of uncertainty, and the path back to competition wasn't smooth. It took a ride with friends through the mountains of North Carolina for Armstrong to rediscover his genuine love of the sport, and to rededicate himself to its pursuit.
7. Drugs -- Ages
   Ecstasy, ketamine, rohypnol, GHB and LSD are among the club drugs rapidly finding acceptance among adolescents and college-age youth. Congress passed the Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000 to prevent youth acceptance of these dangerous substances.
8. Reproduction
   Reproduction is the biological process by which existing organisms create new individual organisms. Every existing plant, animal or other living organism is the result of biological reproduction, and all living things reproduce in some way. The many known methods of reproduction are generally placed into one of two classifications, sexual and asexual reproduction.
9. Billy Mayfair -- Pga Tour
   Titleist ambassador Billy Mayfair was working with both the new 907D1 and 907D2 drivers today on the practice range. After playing the Pro Titanium 905R for 13 of the first 14 tournaments this year, he has had the 907D1 in the bag for three consecutive weeks, which included a T13 finish at the Memorial.
10. Planned Parenthood -- Planned Parenthood Federation
    Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider. PPFA believes that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child should be wanted and loved. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 860 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year.
