Multiple Myeloma and Bones

Multiple Myeloma and Bones Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that causes specialized blood cells to grow out of control. The cancerous cells in the bone marrow damage bone, causing pain and other serious complications. Tune in to learn how these bone problems are treated and prevented.

Osteoporosis Risk

Theoretically, osteoporosis can strike anyone who has bones in their body, which is all of us. But certain people are at a higher risk, and understanding your risk is an important first step in preventing the disease. Join us as we discuss osteoporosis risk factors, and what can be done to prevent its onset.

Osteoporosis vs Osteoarthritis

Osteoporosis vs Osteoarthritis Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are distinct diseases which require very different treatments. But many of their symptoms are similar, which can lead to harmful misdiagnoses. What warning signs should you look out for to recognize each disease? What can you do to make sure your diagnosis is the right one? Join us for an expert look at these two serious conditions.

Osteoporosis Fractures

Osteoporosis Fractures The greatest fear among women living with osteoporosis is bone fracture. Hip or spinal fractures can be devastating to the lives of otherwise healthy women. Tune in as we take a close look at the risk of fractures in those with osteoporosis, and what can be done to avoid them.

Getting a Bone Density Test

Getting a Bone Density Test Osteoporosis has long been a concern for any woman approaching her senior years, but until recent recent years there were few treatment options. Now that medical advances have opened up a broad array of treatment strategies, testing for osteoporosis — bone density testing — has become a greater imperative for women at risk. Join our panel of experts as they discuss this test and how it can help you.

Choosing Bone Density Tests

Choosing Bone Density Tests People with osteoporosis are often unaware that they have the disease until they sustain a fracture, which can result from the slightest accident. For this reason, screening for osteoporosis is an important health precaution for many women at risk. Tune in as we discuss bone density testing and those people who should consider getting screened for this silent disease.

Bone Density Test Overview

Bone Density Test Overview Osteoporosis is a disease that affects millions of women and men around the world. But with early detection, the serious consequences of osteoporosis can often be prevented. Join Dr. Joseph Lane and his staff as they take a patient through a bone density test, one of the most effective diagnostic techniques available today.

Back Pain and Osteoporosis

Back Pain and Osteoporosis Back pain is a common condition that many people don't take very seriously. But in some cases, back pain is just a surface symptom of a much deeper problem: osteoporosis. Unfortunately, even some doctors have a hard time telling the difference. When should you be worried and what can you do to make sure you are diagnosed correctly?

Radioimmunotherapy for NHL

Radioimmunotherapy for NHL Radiation can destroy cancer cells. People with cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, now have new options that deliver this form of therapy in a very targeted way. A new treatment called radioimmunotherapy can deliver this radiation via medications, thereby targeting tumor cells wherever they are in the body. Learn about these novel medications and how they are being used today.

CML Treatments

CML Treatments Mounting evidence from clinical trials shows that patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) may have long-term treatment success forgoing the only known cure for their disease. Watch and listen as CML experts explain how a promising drug now complicates the decision facing many patients-whether to seek a bone marrow transplant.

Osteoporosis Overview

Osteoporosis Overview Most women assume that they already know the ABCs of osteoporosis. But with 10 million cases of this disease in the U.S. alone, there's no doubt people need to know more about this serious condition and how it can be prevented. Join us as we take a deeper look into this common and debilitating condition.
