Greenfield FFA receives $10,000 grant

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Greenfield FFA is the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the America’s Farmer’s Grow Rural Education program.

The America’s Farmer’s Grow Rural Education Program partners with local farmers to nominate their local school districts to apply for math and science grants through the program. “A special thank you goes out to Greenfield FFA sponsor, Beth Burrow, who put together a great application,� Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “Her hard work

“This is the start of a dream for the Agriculture Department to have their own livestock facility to learn at.�

Beth Burrow Greenfield FFA sponsor has helped this district secure this grant.�

Burrow said the money will be used to add new technologies to her department. “We will be able to use this grant to

add new simulation technologies and enhancements to the school to enhance the learning process for the high school and give students the ability to see animal anatomy, then practice the necessary animal health tasks,� Burrow said.

“This is the start of a dream for the Agriculture Department to have their own livestock facility to learn at.�

The Grow Rural Education program, sponsored by the Bayer Fund, allows eligible farmers to nominate their local public school district for grants to help enhance STEM education.

Once nominated, school districts submit applications to compete for $10,000 or $25,000 grants to help fund projects that enhance their STEM curriculum.

Since 2011, the program has given over $18 million to more than 1,000 rural school districts.

Getting down to work Aubri Campbell, 10, of Carrollton cranks an older-styled corn sheller with help from Connor Ashlock at the Jersey County Historical Society during the Historic Apple Festival Sunday. There were several farm-related family-friendly activities on the grounds.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press As Carrollton moves forward with the Carrollton Square Initiative, another group has just formed that incorporates the lower Illinois River Valley with interests in bucking diminishing trends in the rural area.

Called the Lower Illinois River Valley Rural Prosperity Initiative (LIRV-RPI), their focus is said to be on rebuilding a resilient heartland.

Patrick McGinnis, Senior Representative with THG Advisors, and a fifth generation Illinois River Valley product, is serving as Interim Executive Director for LIRV-RPI and addressed the Carrollton Square Initiative community forum Tuesday at the KC Hall.

The leadership council includes some of the local leaders including: Philip Bradshaw, producer at Bradshaw Family Farms; Dale Chapman, Lewis and Clark Community College (See, GROUP, A2)

Uninvited house guests expected as temps cool

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Things can become clear among the trees I started the morning sitting in a tree stand.

A few weeks ago, I had trimmed limbs and opened up some shooting lanes for this new stand placement. I think it is going to be a good one.

The cool morning was expected as well as the lingering fog that hovers over the hills, sometimes through the late morning.

That was the case on this particular day. As I peered toward the sky just before dawn, I wondered if what I was looking at was clouds instead of fog. But after a few more minutes I recognized the familiar look and feel of this hazy mist.

It wasn’t long until I could see the sun began to peek over the mountains just in front of me. It would have

its work cut out for it today as it began to slowly burn away the veil that was hiding everything from my view.

I was actually surprised how quickly the fog began to surrender to the sun, and it was not too many minutes later until it was all gone and everything around me became crystal clear. The lines between the objects that were blurred just a few minutes earlier were now distinct, prominent, and flawless.

As I watched this transformation, I was reminded of a quote from C.S. Lewis.

He said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

For him, Christianity gave perspective to the things in

his world. It shone a light of understanding on otherwise confusing circumstances. By coming to know his God, he could appreciate his world.

By contrast, however, he was saying that without a proper view of God, life is only one random and undirected action after another.

Or as Shakespeare’s Macbeth put it, “it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

There is no doubt life is full of head-scratching moments.

Some are fleeting; others shake our very foundation and leave us changed forever. The lens we view these through will either bring a sense of clarity or a deeper sense of confusion and despair.

I am not saying my faith makes me perfectly under-

s t a n d everything, but it d o e s gives me the same picture as the sun; that no matter what may seem unclear and indistinguishable, it will burn away the longer I am in his presence.

I’d love to speak at your next event. Contact me.

Redevelopment (Continued from A1) with some vision and opportunity to show you today. We have tried to have a mix of ideas and thoughts as well as steps to take to achieve those opportunities.”

Vandewalle had previously done research about the location assets already in place and incorporated that into future strategies and goals for downtown redevelopment sites. They identified six catalytic priority strategies.

Q Enhance Carrollton Square visually and functionally as a place-making strategy.

Q Identify and create redevelopment projects on key infill sites, starting with the northwest corner of Carrollton Square to add residential options, enhance property values and increase the tax base.

Q Provide opportunities to support outdoor dining for local businesses and restaurants to create a welcoming and vibrant ambiance.

Q Prepare design guidelines for facades and signage for businesses on Carrollton Square to enhance visual appearance and protect local investment.

Q Formalize standards for streetscape improvements and work towards sidewalk solutions on Main Street and Sixth Street corridors.

Q Drive locally relevant content towards integration into regional tourism and employment efforts to create more visibility for Carrollton and Greene County.

“We have heard a lot about the attractive small town way of life, and we appreciate that when we visit,” Purdy said. “We have driven all around this region, and I think Carrollton has a lot to offer compared to other communities. You have good, quality housing, an active business community and those are both major assets we identified.”

The idea would be to make the square more of a gathering place.

“One thing would be to create a designated event space on the southeast corner around the statue,” Maloney said. “It would not take a lot of infrastructure to do that – just designate the spot. Keep the parking area the way it is and put vendor tents in that space.

Maybe add a pedestrian path around the square.”

Other improvements would include lighting the courthouse at night, adding diagonal elements to the square, improving handicap accessibility with access to the courthouse, adding pedestrian lights and add tables.

Other improvements to the southeast corner would be to add new crosswalks and a pedestrian island.

“You have the library and that could be expanded for larger events,” Maloney said. “It could be a small event space or expanded into a larger space to have kids events, community events.

“We see that as the communities’ front porch. We were really taken aback at how beautiful it is from the outside.”

Another goal is to identify redevel-

opment projects including any way to add new commercial space.

“One of the best ways to bring activity to downtown is to add additional housing,” Purdy said. “There is a need for senior housing.”

An opportunity exists on the west side of the square as well.

“We see an opportunity to put in a building for retail/commercial on the first floor and residential above.

Behind that where the bank owns property you could put in a senior housing project with 16 units,” Purdy said.

It is also important to get involved with a more regional approach, Maloney indicated.

“Maybe get some bike trails to the Mississippi River or a national trail and enhance your web presence,” Maloney said. “We keep hearing that people come to Carrollton for the restaurants, so getting that out there even more to attract people to what you are already doing well. Provide an experience other than just dining will help boost your economy.”

Greene County Board Member Michael McNear said it would be a nice opportunity for other communities to be involved.

“What we find often is those who champion for one specific thing, those things get done,” Maloney said. “Out of all of these opportunities, it is up to your community to pick which ones you want to do. We find a five to 10 year time frame. It is up to community leadership to prioritize those opportunities.”

Group

As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter uninvited house guests often start showing up in our homes. A variety of insects and other creepy crawlies will seek out shelter in our homes to pass the winter. Some of our most frequent guests are box elder bugs, multicolored Asian lady beetles and brown marmorated stink bugs.

Boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata) are commonly found trying to enter houses, especially if you have a boxelder tree nearby. These insects are about ½” long and black with orange or red markings. During the spring and summer, the adults will feed on leaves and seeds of boxelder trees (and occasionally maple and ash trees). When temperatures begin to cool in the fall, they will start to seek out warmer areas. They are most often attracted to buildings with large southern or western exposures because they are warmer than the surrounding area. As they aggregate on buildings, they will find cracks and other spaces to squeeze into. They will occasionally make their way indoors often end up in walls and attics until warm weather returns.

Multicolored Asian lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis) are also commonly found attempting to make their way into homes. The beetles will vary in color from yellow to reddish-orange and have anywhere from 0 to 19 spots. They can often be distinguished from other lady beetles by the presence of an ‘M’ pattern near their head (although it may not always be present/visible). In many places in their native range (Asia), they will overwinter on tall cliffs. Since we lack these in most parts of Illinois, the next best thing is your house (or other buildings).

Another home invader that we are starting to see more and more of in Illinois is the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). This stink bug is native to Asia and was first discovered in the U.S. in the late 1990s in Pennsylvania.

Since then, it has quickly

spread throughout the United States. Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) will also congregate on buildings looking for somewhere to overwinter. Unlike boxelder bugs and multicolored Asian lady beetle, these insects are more than a nuisance. They will feed on a wide variety of tree fruits, vegetables, crops, and ornamentals and can cause a significant amount of damage. BMSB have the typical ‘shield’ looking body of stink bugs.

As their name implies, they are marmorated (mottled) brown color. There are a few characteristics that can be used to differentiate them from our native stink bugs: the antennae have white bands on them, they have smooth ‘shoulders,’ and they have a black and white triangular pattern on their abdomens. There are several different types of insects that are commonly confused with BMSB. If you are unsure of what you have, contact your local extension office.

For all of these insects, the best management strategy is to keep them out of your home in the first place (exclusion). Make sure windows and doors fit tight and make sure window screens don’t have any holes in them. Seal any openings, cracks, and crevices around the foundation, pipes, wires, and chimneys. Finally, make sure siding, eaves, and soffits are in good condition.

Insecticides can be applied to the perimeter of buildings, but are often ineffective. Since these insects are rather mobile, it can be challenging to get adequate control of them. Once they enter your home, they can be vacuumed up and placed in soapy water and disposed of.

Using insecticides to control these insects indoors is generally not recommended.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Some of our insect guests like stink bugs and multicolored Asian lady beetles have unpleasant smelling defensive chemicals.

When vacuuming them up, it may be a good idea to use a cheap vacuum instead of the one you’ll regularly be using throughout your house.

The newly created nonprofit organization seeks to immediately leverage the capacity-building strength of local institutions to assist community leaders in unleashing a wave of rural innovation and entrepreneurship.

“Experts are telling us that rural America is on the decline and that we should plan for a continued downturn, but we have a choice to self-determine the fate of our rural places,” McGinnis said. “Perhaps, there is an alternative path that is at once innovative, actionable and local that can begin to rebuild vibrant rural communities.”

“Elsewhere around the country a growing number of local entrepreneurs are

innovating and collaborating to make improvements that could prove to be scalable and difference-making for rural communities.”

Over the last two years, a small group of regional and local service providers have been considering a grassroots approach to rebuilding our communities and economy by reviewing practical and successful efforts in similar communities across the U.S. Currently, this group plans to make a commitment and investment in our region with the launch of the Lower Illinois River Valley-Rural Prosperity Initiative.

“Bulk agriculture commodities cannot and will not provide the jobs and the tax base to have viable thriving communities in the Lower Illinois River Valley,” Bradshaw said.

“Community colleges, universities, banks, farm organizations, businesses, and government entities must work to broaden our economic base in the region.”

The LIRV-RPI will initially focus on a nine-county corridor along the lower 80 miles of the Illinois River following an exploratory effort between Lewis and Clark Community College (LCCC) and John Wood Community College (JWCC) to enhance service to the rural core of their adjoining districts.

The working group commenced with identifying

and framing regional challenges and opportunities, utilizing the focus areas put forth by the White House’s Federal Interagency Task Force for Agriculture and Rural Prosperity.

As a result, LIRV-RPI is considering anchoring initiatives across several key areas, including e-connectivity/broadband deployment; workforce development; agricultural innovation; town center revitalization; outdoor recreation, health care/telemedicine; and source water retention/ protection.

“Applying local capacity strategically and assembling the right mix of resources – human, institutional, and financial – will be crucial to driving real change,” McGinnis said. “The Lower Illinois River Valley is a rich corridor of natural and human capital and is ready for targeted investment and transformative change.

“We need change that preserves our natural and cultural heritage, while demonstrating a strong regional brand that our region is a great place to work, live, and play. It’s going to take a collective effort to buck the trends for rural America.

The Valley is a great place to start.”

Looking ahead, the LIRV-RPI will work collaboratively to develop actionable strategies to advance key anchoring initiatives to achieve the following key

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle: Our church was blessed to be a part of the 2019 Love Fest in Whiteside Park in Whitehall this past Saturday afternoon. Yes, it did rain for a time but our popcorn popper was busy and the popcorn was enjoyed by many. The rain couldn’t dampen the fellowship that was enjoyed.

This morning we enjoyed cookies, hot chocolate and coffee before our worship time. Our text this morning can be found in the Book of Acts 8:9-25 and titled “Simon the Sorcerer.”

When Philip began to preach to the multitudes in the city of Samaria, multitudes heeded the things he spoke and miracles took place. But there was a man named Simon who had practiced sorcery in the city and was claimed by many to be great.

When the Apostles in Jerusalem heard the news that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. I invite you to read these verses and see how Simon made a false conversation experience and tried to buy the power of God from Peter, Verse

19, saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” Simon was focused on self not on the Jesus Christ.

Our recent prayer requests are: Pastor Mike Hulsey, Cindy Burnette, Terry, Rex, Carol, Jodie, the Bushnell family, Cheryl, Ray and Patty, Margie, Harold, Charlie, Gary, the Lost in our church families and in our community. We invite you to join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. for our worship time and Wednesday evening for bible study at 6:30 p.m.

Hillview Baptist Church news Announcements: WMU Meeting Tuesday October 8th at 10:00 at Charity Baptist Church in Greenfield. Business meeting Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. Communion next Sunday evening 7 p.m.

Special music: Sabrina Crabtree played the piano.

Message: I Peter 1: 13-21 Peter writes very directly and simply. Peter was a fisherman called by Christ. He often put his foot in his mouth when speaking. He writes in

a very direct manner. He saw Jesus Christ and tells about how Jesus came for us. We should focus on Jesus Christ. He tells the people how they were supposed to live. Focus on the grace of the revelation of Jesus. Jesus came; went to the cross; and died for our sins. He did it by his grace. We need to think about the grace of Jesus. We need to think about what we do and what we have but often don’t give Christ the credit. We are to have grace for a lost and dying world. We

are called to live a life of obedience. If you are truly saved you will have a change in your life. Because God is holy, we should be holy. What is holy?

It is to be” set apart”. We were all born as sinners, but when you accept Jesus Christ as your savior you are to be set apart. We should become different from the world. We should be full of grace. Our faith and hope should be focused on God. You are always welcome at Hillview Baptist.

Operation Christmas Child Feeling to speak in White Hall Social?

An Operation Christmas Child recipient will be sharing with locals her story of how her life was changed through a simple shoe box gift that she received as a child in Eastern Ukraine.

She will be speaking at several locations including in White Hall on Saturday, Oct. 12, 3 p.m. at First Christian Church, 201 N. Main Street.

As a young child, Elizabeth Henry received a gift that would transform her outlook on the world. Born into a struggling, dysfunctional family in Eastern Ukraine, Elizabeth ran away from home and took refuge in an orphanage when she was 7-years-old.

Devastated by the tragedies in her family, she felt very alone. While she was in the orphanage, she received a shoebox gift from Operation Christmas Child.

The box was full of useful items and toys, but the gift that stood out the most was a shiny yo-yo.

To Elizabeth, that small item meant someone, somewhere cared about her. Elizabeth says that gift changed her life because it gave her hope that God would not leave her at rock bottom.

At the age of 13, Elizabeth was adopted into an American family. Today, she is a senior at Virginia Tech and enjoys involving others in her shoebox club on campus.

She will be in four west-central Illinois locations on Oct. 12 to share her story and why she is passionate about getting other involved in packing shoebox gifts.

The Samaritan’s Purse project, Operation Christmas Child, collects shoebox gifts— filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

The public is invited to hear Elizabeth share her story at the following locations along with the one in White Hall: Q Quincy, 9 a.m., the Lutheran Church of St. John, 3340 State St. Q Jacksonville, 12:30 p.m., at Westfair Baptist Church, 1815 W Lafayette Ave. Q Pittsfield, 6:30 p.m., at the Pittsfield Church of the Nazarene, 227 W Washington St.

“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.”

Psalm 96:3 NIV

t is sad how often our plans to do something worthwhile are hindered by fear. Maybe it’s the fear that things won’t work out as hoped, or that it will cost too much, or that others will think we are overstepping our bounds. It is perhaps wise to have second thoughts about large ventures.

Starting a business or charity, or deciding to go on a mission trip halfway around the world are serious, and sometimes risky ventures, and we do well to consider carefully how best to accomplish them. But human beings are made for adventure. There is an impulse to explore and accomplish great things in most of us.

Don’t we all want to impact the world positively? So why not pursue that dream you’ve had, or the calling that has been nagging at you? The Gospels call all of us to spread the good news to the ends of the earth.

With all of the problems around the world, and the ease of travel, this has become something that almost every person can do, especially when they have the support of a church or humanitarian organization. Think of all of the risks taken by the first Christians in spreading the good news and how much easier it is for us to do this nowadays. Instead of asking why we should do these great things, perhaps we should be asking why not?

The stages of breast cancer

Upon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in.

The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively.

Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.

Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started.

Breast cancer patients may hear the term “fiveyear survival rate� when discussing their disease with their physicians. The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.

Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast.

The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters. But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters. The ACS notes that the five-year survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.

Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the tumor measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary

lymph nodes.

Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2 millimeters but no larger than two millimeters. Stage IIB may also be used to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors that are larger than five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers. The fiveyear survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.

Stage III Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size. In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer. The cancer may have spread to up to nine axillary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast. If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone. The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.

Stage IV Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The five-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent.

More information about breast cancer is available at www.breastcancer.org.

Breakthroughs in imaging technologies can help fight cancer Doctors and patients have many different tools available in the war against cancer. Imaging is one of the essential resources used in such battles. Imaging helps screen and diagnose cancer and can be used to guide treatments and determine the efficacy of various therapies. Therefore, advancements in imaging can have profound effects on the ability to manage and hopefully in the future - prevent or cure the disease.

The goal of cancer imaging is to detect the smallest possible number of tumor cells at the earliest possible time. Traditionally, X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, singlephoton emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography have been utilized as key cancer imaging techniques. These technologies are being studied and advancing.

Imaging probes are one area of imaging worthy of attention. The Center for Probe Development and Commercialization, a supplier of radiopharmaceuticals, is developing the next generation of molecular imaging probes.

They are designed to detect responses to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. CPDC also

has started to manufacture another probe designed to identify hypoxic tumors.

These probes work on a molecular level, according to data published in 2013 in the International Journal of Biomedical Imaging. Molecular imaging has the potential to greatly enhance understanding of various cancers.

Another cancer imaging and evaluation tool that is being produced and tested is called the MasSpec Pen, which enables a controlled and automated delivery of a water droplet to a tissue surface during tumor surgery or diagnostic exploration to extract biomolecules. The sample taken can immediately tell if cancer cells are present and distinguish tumors from healthy tissue.

Imaging has merged nanotechnology and conventional imaging tools with new developments.

These technologies are still in the testing phase.

Novel diagnostic probes with nanoparticles can improve imaging results.

A 2018 review paper published in the Journal of Controlled Release looked at how nanotechnology could improve the imaging and treatment of lung cancer. For example, gold nanoparticles work better

than iodine-based agents for CT imaging. Similarly, superparamagnetic ironoxide nanoparticles can be utilized with MRI for the ultra-sensitive reactions they produce.

Other imaging technologies in the works involve combining and improving the workflow of various methodologies.

Philips Medical Systems’ Ingenia MR-RT Oncology Configuration is a comprehensive solution that allows radiation oncology departments to integrate MRI into their computed tomographybased radiation treatment planning.

In addition to the imaging evolution itself, researchers have realized the limitations of the human eye to discern abnormalities or small changes from images collected. Therefore, technological advancements are enabling artificial intelligence to look for key signs in images and correlate changes to the aggressiveness of the disease. This can improve treatment success rates and reduce the chances for human oversight.

Imaging plays a key role in cancer diagnoses and therapies. Improving cancer imaging can improve treatment plans now and in the future.

Survival rates are on the rise Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited to a host of factors. Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts of various organizations to promote cancer prevention and raise awareness about the disease.

The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidencebased prevention strategies.

However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatly reducing their likelihood of surviving the disease.

Cancer that spreads to distant parts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often referred to as “stage IV cancer.” According to the National Cancer Institute, when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traits like that of the primary cancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from another part of the body.

When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the metastatic cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as

CANCER. lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung

cancer.

Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

It’s personal.

Will I be able to work? How will I get to treatments? Will I lose my hair?

Will I see my children grow up? Where do I find hope?

Because no two cancers are alike, our team at OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony’s Health Center will personalize a treatment plan to meet your needs. That is why we designed the new OSF Moeller Cancer Center as an all-in-one facility, so you can focus on what is important to you – getting back to your life.
