An excerpt:
Don't count out Avastin as a breast cancer treatment but don't count it in, either. In November, the FDA took the unusual step of nixing Avastin's approval saying that the serious risks of using the drug outweighed its small benefits for women with cancer that had spread beyond the breast. Now new studies are under way looking at whether Avastin may work better if it's used earlier in the course of the disease as an initial therapy.

Andrea Mitchell, NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent, announced on air Wednesday that she has breast cancer, saying to other women: "Screening matters. Do it."
"I had planned to be hiking in Wyoming last week, but instead discovered that I am now among the 1 in 8 women in this country — incredibly 1 in 8 — who have had breast cancer," the veteran journalist said.
"Mine was discovered during my annual screening just a short time ago," she said. "Luckily for me, I am one of the fortunate ones; we discovered it in the earliest stage, it hadn't spread, and I'm already back at work with a terrific prognosis."View Thread

Celexa should no longer be used at doses higher than 40 milligrams per day. The drug's new label will remove a statement suggesting that some patients may need 60 milligrams per day. It will also warn of the drug's risk to the heart.
