Alimta is used to treat two types of cancer: pleural mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lungs that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos).

Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Alimta is used in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past.

The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.

How is Alimta used?

Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy.

The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient s height and weight).

A large number of studies with Cerenia were carried out either in laboratory dogs or in animal patients at veterinary practises in several European countries and in the USA.

What benefit has Cerenia shown during the studies?

The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting.

The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again).

For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog.

Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting.

What is the risk associated with Cerenia?

Of all scenes that evoke rural England, this is one of the loveliest: An ancient stone church stands amid the fields, the sound of bells cascading from its tower, calling the faithful to evensong.

The parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels stop to chat at the church door, as members here always have.

In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614.

But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening.

Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service.

Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond.

The others here today live elsewhere.

Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters.

A series of 5,000 or so changes is a "peal "and takes about three hours.

A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved.

Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber.

No one speaks, and the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves, muffled by the ceiling.

Totally absorbed, the ringers stare straight ahead, using peripheral vision (they call it "rope-sight ") to watch the other ropes and thus time their pulls.

Far above in the belfry, the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees, starting and ending, surprisingly, in the inverted, or mouth-up position.

It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however.

More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below.

This does not sit well with some clerics.

With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services.

Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest.

"They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation.

But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells.

At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance.

The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "

But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar.

"So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says.

Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself.

That is for the future.

Already, scientists are developing tests based on the newly identified genes that, for the first time, can predict whether an otherwise healthy individual is likely to get cancer.

"It's a super-exciting set of discoveries, "says Bert Vogelstein, a Johns Hopkins University researcher who has just found a gene pivotal to the triggering of colon cancer.

"Only a decade ago cancer was a black box about which we knew nothing at the molecular level.

Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state. "

Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes.

When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check.

A test using new "genetic probes "showed that little Will Quinlan had not inherited a damaged retinoblastoma supressor gene and, therefore, faced no more risk than other children of developing the rare cancer.

"It made our New Year, "says Mr. Quinlan.

This test was the first to predict reliably whether an individual could expect to develop cancer.

Equally important, the initial discovery of the gene that controls retinal cell growth, made by a Boston doctor named Thaddeus Dryja, has opened a field of cancer study, which in recent months has exploded.

"It turns out that studying a tragic but uncommon tumor made possible some fundamental insights about the most basic workings of cancer, "says Samuel Broder, director of the National Cancer Institute.

"All this may not be obvious to the public, which is concerned about advances in treatment, but I am convinced this basic research will begin showing results there soon. "

To date, scientists have fingered two of these cancer-suppressors.

Then last spring, researchers reported finding a gene called p53 which, if impaired, turns healthy colon cells cancerous.

Soon after that report, two other research teams uncovered evidence that the same damaged p53 gene is present in tissue from lung and breast cancers.

Colon, lung and breast cancers are the most common and lethal forms of the disease, collectively killing almost 200,000 Americans a year.

Right now about a dozen laboratories, in the U.S., Canada and Britain, are racing to unmask other suspected tumor-suppressing genes.

They have about seven candidates.

Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix.

There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families.

But in Baltimore, Dr. Vogelstein, a young molecular biologist at Johns Hopkins Medical School, believed Dr. Knudson was right, and set out to repeat the Cavenee experiment in cells from other cancers.

His was one of two research teams in 1984 to report dual chromosome losses for a rare childhood cancer of the kidney called Wilm's tumor.

Dr. Vogelstein next turned his attention colon cancer, the second biggest cancer killer in the U.S. after lung cancer.

He believed colon cancer might also arise from multiple "hits "on cancer suppressor genes, because it often seems to develop in stages.

It often is preceded by the development of polyps in the bowel, which in some cases become increasingly malignant in identifiable stages -- progressing from less severe to deadly -- as though a cascade of genetic damage might be occurring.

Dr. Vogelstein and a doctoral student, Eric Fearon, began months of tedious and often frustrating probing of the chromosomes searching for signs of genetic damage.

They began uncovering a confusing variety of genetic deletions, some existing only in benign polyps, others in malignant cells and many in both polyps and malignant cells.
