National Ovarian Cancer Day.<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Teal Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day.</span></strong><br /><br />Khrissy Lupinacci from LI OCEANS Inc (Long Island Ovarian Cancer Education Advocacy Network & Support) launches a Nationwide Public Awareness Campaign calling September 23rd, the 3rd Tuesday of September “ Teal Tuesday”. Our goal is to promote public education and much needed awareness of the deadliest form of Gynecologic Cancer called Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian Cancer claims the lives of over 22,000 women each year, this year alone over 15,000 women will be diagnosed with this deadly disease.<br /><br />Khrissy Lupinacci (a 6 year survivor of Ovarian Cancer and one of the founding members of LI OCEANS Inc) said, “September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month.” “ It is our hope that “ Teal Tuesday ” inspires millions of people to adopt this day to raise awareness of this deadly disease. “ We are in need of soldiers, it will take an army to fight this fight against Ovarian Cancer “ said Khrissy. “ We are in need of heros” our greatest asset in this fight against ovarian cancer is our caring and compassionate community at large.” We hope that individuals, busineses and corporations join us in our plight to save lives. “We ask for national and local partnerships to help execute this initiative and support this campaign, making the 3rd Tuesday of September “ Teal Tuesday”. We hope this campaign inspires individuals to join us in our fight and encourages grassroots activities within their own communities to “ think teal, talk teal, wear teal, save lives!<br /><br />Saving lives, each and everyone of us has the power to save lives, to date there is not an effective nor 100 % accurate early detection test for Ovarian Cancer. We know that early detection can save lives, however, with the lack of an early screening test and lack of Ovarian Cancer Awareness, we are left with but one vital tool, our voice. Together we can educate one another and create much needed awareness. A Pap test does not detect Ovarian Cancer. You don’t need to be personally affected by Ovarian Cancer to help in the fight to educate, advocate and create awareness, you simply need to care. Educate yourself about the signs and symptons of Ovarian Cancer, call or visit your local or National Ovarian Cancer organization, arm yourself with education and awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors of the disease, spread the news.<br /><br />Sadly the majority, 75 percent of women are diagnosed in the later stages of Ovarian Cancer; the five –year survival is only 30 percent.<br />LI OCEANS INC believes one is too many; we must educate and advocate so to eradicate this deadly disease. Please join us in saving lives.<br /><br />We ask locally and nationally that others join us in our plight to create much needed awareness of this ruthless and relentless killer of women. On Tuesday September 23rd, please wear teal! Wear teal in honor of the thousands of beautiful women that are battling the disease, wear teal in memory of the precious lives of those who have lost their battle to this disease. Wear Teal to help raise public awareness of the often overlooked and unrecognized signs and symptoms of this disease. Wear Teal because you care about the thousands of Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters and Daughters that will be diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer this year. Wear teal for the 22,000 women that will die from Ovarian Cancer this year. Wear teal, help save lives.<br /><br />Teal Tuesday, the initiative to launch a national public awareness campaign to save hundreds, thousands of women from Ovarian Cancer. On September 23rd, Teal Tuesday please wear teal; tie teal ribbons or teal balloons within your community, place of business, office or front lawn. Encourage hospitals, businesses, companies, schools, churches, synagogues, restaurants, stores, corporations, government offices, employees and co-workers to wear teal. Contact newspapers, radio, and television. Encourage Members of Congress to participate & adopt this as an annual campaign. “ Our goal is that every woman is educated and made aware of the signs, symptoms and risk factors of Ovarian Cancer.” Said, Khrissy Lupinacci.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483654.post-77488868071450397482008-09-20T17:25:00.000-04:002008-09-19T22:46:22.732-04:00NOCC Walk- Long Island Chapter- September 20th, 2008<a href="http://www.ovarian.org/Images/Divisions/Chapters/NYLI/fb651walkbrochure.pdf"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243765364766436354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb2CCm11PlFjYz5IivZz2LB-iFOCi681VawXDM0wNgPmTHvBe5XsVqNY43Uk7gzrxphchzsxVTnLAyHS8pFxFFpRsI-aMuK0OfEKvhrshrosoyo1SHffbZUz_Bud6dQz_mLzve/s400/NOCC.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>UPCOMING WALK</strong> </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>NOCC Long Island chapter walk</strong> - September 20, 2008 -</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Wantagh Park, Wantagh, NY.<br />For More info contact Linda Rosen </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">(NY, Long Island NOCC Chapter)</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Phone: 631-672-2027</span></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="mailto:nyli.nocc@ovarian.org"><span style="font-size:130%;">nyli.nocc@ovarian.org</span></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483654.post-53164214638562880612008-09-19T22:54:00.000-04:002008-09-19T22:40:57.873-04:005th Annual Candlelight Celebration ~ September 24th, Smithtown, New York<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitPcKMH1ysOmg1FbXd3v-uwu9SNWjb2qPoU2PRfV6b7i1sNUcihO3drbH_Mg5edxndeeb6X5cR6URpuFx4yuC333Zs8YA_xRq7IudICy0hjW6BuHb5o8bSv8WWfgNyFW2aDxxk/s1600-h/Candlelight014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246448588749747682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitPcKMH1ysOmg1FbXd3v-uwu9SNWjb2qPoU2PRfV6b7i1sNUcihO3drbH_Mg5edxndeeb6X5cR6URpuFx4yuC333Zs8YA_xRq7IudICy0hjW6BuHb5o8bSv8WWfgNyFW2aDxxk/s400/Candlelight014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGLvpj1QmojnYaWiGTfvjtuA87jgm2aAtiX6va4I-5djebrMeFp6b6aDwOy7sniHnS6iK_K1wy1E31ZKMt0qD1rtjM5exs_f0Fp78tnZxxLfGkCaZPIhHorhr42NiyEjO0f_l/s1600-h/Candlelight001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246448417777774546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGLvpj1QmojnYaWiGTfvjtuA87jgm2aAtiX6va4I-5djebrMeFp6b6aDwOy7sniHnS6iK_K1wy1E31ZKMt0qD1rtjM5exs_f0Fp78tnZxxLfGkCaZPIhHorhr42NiyEjO0f_l/s400/Candlelight001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">Please Join us for our<strong> 5th Annual Candlelight Celebration </strong></div><div align="center">To honor all women affected by gynecologic cancers along with their family and friends.. </div><br /><div align="center"><strong>Place:</strong> On the grounds of the offices of Long Island Gynecologic Oncologists (LIGO) </div><div align="center">1077 West Jericho Turnpike, Smithtown, New York 11787 </div><br /><div align="center"><strong>Date:</strong> Wednesday, September 24th </div><br /><div align="center"><strong>Time:</strong> 6 p.m. </div><div align="center">Please Call the LIGO OFFICE regarding parking..</div><br /><div align="center">Restroom facilities available on site. </div><br /><div align="center">For more information please call: 631 864-5440 or 631 864-9513 </div><br /><div align="center">We will have the " Hope & Remembrance Table" again this year.

Of all the cancers, ovarian is the deadliest gynecologic cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women. This year more than 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 15,000 will die from the disease.<br /><br />One of the last bills to be introduced before the Congressional recess was the Cancer Trust Fund bill, a piece of legislation that aims to fully fund cancer initiatives through the federal government. By raising the tax on cigarettes, Congress and cancer advocacy groups hope to accelerate the War on Cancer, declared in 1971. Since then the relative five year survival rate for ovarian cancer has increased from 38 percent to 45 percent, indicating that ovarian cancer needs more research, early detection and treatment. These issues, and others, are addressed in the Cancer Trust Fund bill.<br /><br />Introduced by Mr. Israel (D-NY) and Mr. Higgins (D-NY), the bill aims to augment the annual appropriations to fight cancer. Mr. Israel, a long time supporter of the fight against ovarian cancer says the bill is an important step in the fight against cancer. “Cancer researchers have made great strides over the years and we need to continue that progress,” said Rep. Steve Israel. “I’ve introduced legislation to create a Cancer Trust Fund that will ensure cancer research funding continues when times are tight. I hope this legislation will help get us closer to a cure.”<br /><br />Monies from the Trust Fund will be available for research on early detection, treatment, prevention and survivorship issues. Further, the Trust Fund will support the breast and cervical cancer early detection and treatment program and the colorectal cancer early detection and treatment program. Other areas funded by the program include clinical trials, care for the underserved, and cancer workforce programs.<br /><br />Specifically, cancers with survival rates below 50 percent are to receive special emphasis in funding in order to raise survival rates through the discovery of early detection tools, treatments and prevention. “This is a wonderful way to focus on the deadliest cancers, like ovarian. We are delighted to support this legislation,” said Dr. Karen Orloff Kaplan, Sc.D., Chief Executive Officer of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.<br /><br />The bill will raise the federal tax on small cigars from $1.828 per thousand to $50.00 per thousand; on large cigars the tax will go from 20.719 percent of the sale price but not more than $48.75 per thousand to 52.988 percent of the price for which the cigar is sold but not more than $3.00 per cigar. The federal tax on small cigarettes will increase from $19.50 per thousand to $50.00 per thousand, and the tax on large cigarettes will increase from $40.95 per thousand to $105.00 per thousand. Taxes will also be increased for cigarette papers, cigarette tubes, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco and roll your own cigarettes. These taxes are projected to raise $35 billion over 5 years.<br /><br />The House bill is H.R. 6791.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483654.post-84181355776834741562008-09-15T22:49:00.001-04:002008-09-15T23:05:21.339-04:00LIWA--Promotes " TEAL TUESDAY" Thank You LIWA!<a href="http://www.liwa.org/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246449815036998306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKCZIGhc7pYfKuxprjICdHbj44qk_faLSSpHXT25aaTGJRn1m8KfHbfNT2DD14Gbt8wTHt0p3mq2fdw-YX2M1soY-dUNgqOwagpnw5Dlm01lYsPQhVAE9_q-RueGGfaJA50Is/s400/LIWA.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Tuesday, September 23, 2008<br /><br />"Think teal, talk teal, wear teal and save lives."

SBUMC cancer researchers have received continued support from L.I. OCEANS, including a grant for $25,000 in 2006. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ovarian cancer is the most deadly form of gynecologic cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer claims the lives of more than 22,000 each year, and 15,000 women are diagnosed with the disease annually. The White House has declared September National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation calls September National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"The search for better and more accurate diagnostics for early detection of gynecologic cancers, particularly for ovarian cancer, is central to our research," says Michael L. Pearl, M.D., Director, Division of Gynecologic Oncology at SBUMC. "The grant from Long Island OCEANS will help further several research initiatives," adds Dr. Pearl, emphasizing that because symptoms of ovarian cancer often do not occur until the disease is advanced, many women are not diagnosed early enough to help control or cure disease. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The goal of L.I. OCEANS is to create awareness among women regarding the early warning signs and symptoms of gynecologic cancers. The network provides support, resources, and education for women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers, as well as support for the advancement of disease research. L.I. OCEANS is promoting "Teal Tuesday," September 23, as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day. The organization is appealing for people to wear teal in honor of the thousands of lives who have been touched by the disease. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">The Division of Gynecologic Oncology at SBUMC is within the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine. The Division provides comprehensive examinations, diagnostic services, and treatment for women with all forms of gynecologic cancer. Research is a major component of the Division.
