With a bit of background and some clear strategies, good nutrition need not be that complicated. B Y M AT I L D E PA R E N T E , M D, F C A P

ooks about eating and dieting dominate the bestseller list year-round. Many of these books make eating seem pretty complicated or confusing. Often the diets that are touted are fabricated meal plans and are not living diets at all; that is, they are not diets or ways of eating that people follow and have followed over time as part of normal living, unlike tried-and-true practices, such as the Mediterranean diet. Despite all the media static about diet, it is possible to make sense out of eating well by taking into account a few facts, concepts, and goals. First, it is important to realize that developing healthier eating habits need not be burdensome or overwhelming. True, it can be difficult to break out of lifelong habits or family traditions that may have preseasoned your palate to desire sweet, salty, or otherwise unhealthy foods. It is also true that most of us will never have the skills and creativity of television and restaurant chefs, not to mention those helpful sous chefs standing by. For most of us, eating healthier will require new skill sets. Learning to make better choices at the grocery store, at home, and when dining out requires a degree of open-mindedness and a

willingness to develop new habits. One key to healthier eating involves learning to cook—at least a little. Healthier, more-satisfying eating can be easier if you learn to prepare a few basic dishes that you enjoy and that can serve as stepping stones to morecomplex meals. For example, learning to sauté will open up your culinary repertoire to a huge range of quick and healthful vegetable, lean meat, and lower-fat dishes. Beyond providing a healthier (and generally less costly) way to eat, cooking can be a gratifying activity. It can also be a way to enrich family life and grow your social engagement. In addition to its health and gastronomic benefits, learning to cook a few basic dishes can also aid in weight control, if merely by limiting the amount and types of foods eaten away from home. Americans today eat or drink more than one-third of their total daily calories away from home. Such foods, whether prepared at take-out counters, fast-food emporiums, or tablecloth restaurants, tend to have higher amounts of salt, unhealthy fats, sugar, and calories than foods that are prepared and eaten at home. Viewing food as medicine is not a new idea. Galen, a second-century Greek physician who became the most prominent and influential doctor in

Knowing how to cook a few basic dishes also helps keep you in charge of what you put into your body.

ancient Rome, maintained that good doctors should also be good cooks. Galen, who wrote On the Power of Foods, practiced and taught other healers to share recipes with their patients for their health. Integrative practitioners are often open to sharing recipes and dietary tips with their patients, a practice that is slowly gaining acceptance among mainstream providers as well. Knowing how to cook a few basic dishes also helps keep you in charge of what you put into your body. If you are not the cook in your household, consider what you might do to support the person who does do the cooking. For example, get involved with shopping smarter for the cook in your home or become more involved as a menu planner or kitchen assistant (yes, cleanup counts, too). Many people who get into the kitchen—and especially those whose main job is to help devour new dishes—find it a wholesome and satisfying experience. Depending on your or your household’s nutritional needs, find books, videos, and instructional blogs online that can help you learn what you need to know to make you a more relaxed, more skillful, and healthier cook.

EATING RIGHT Eating right is a common refrain—but what does that mean? Although the answer depends on your age, condition, health goals, budget, state of residence, preferences, and many other factors, a few basic truths apply to most people

without significant food allergies, sensitivities, or diet-related health conditions. Read on.

Know the daily caloric intake recommended for your age, sex, and activity level. New food and menu labels use 2,000 calories per day as a reference. Your individual needs can vary, however, and often quite significantly, especially if you are sedentary, middle-aged or older, or attempting to lose or gain weight. Use one of the many available calorie calculators to determine the approximate number of calories you should consume daily to maintain your weight at the same fitness level. Explore fnic.nal.usda.gov to learn more.

Keep an honest food and activity diary. Use pen and paper, an app, or other electronic tool to record your entire food and drink intake over the course of a typical week—with emphasis on typical. Include everything that crosses your lips in truthful quantities, including alcoholic beverages and grazing snacks. Free apps such as MyFitnessPal that can track your net calories consumed (energy intake) and burned (energy expenditure) and can help you identify where you may need to make modifications or improvements. Keeping a food and activity diary can be an enlightening, and perhaps sobering, experience. Wearable devices can help you track your activity level and may motivate you to walk more or burn more calories, too.

Fill up on fruit and vegetables. Newer US Department of Agriculture guidelines call for Americans to reconsider their breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates. Half the meal should consist of

4

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7

fruit and vegetables, with the remainder made up of protein (preferably lean), grains (preferably whole grains), and a small amount of dairy products (preferably low in fat and sugar). A diet rich in raw, nutrient-rich, or healthfully cooked fruits and vegetables packs antioxidant, multivitamin, and nutrient power. If you can’t remember many of the superfoods listed opposite, simply remember to shop and eat by color—the darker or more vivid the color of a fruit or vegetable, the generally higher its antioxidant and phytonutrient content is. Better yet, replace low-quality, highcalorie snacks and other junk foods that are low in nutritional value and loaded with added sugars with some of your favorite foods in the “Stock Up for Good Health” sidebar.

Adapt more-healthful cooking methods. Choose sautéing, roasting, pressurecooking, and air-frying methods over deep-frying and other approaches that leave your food soaked in saturated animal fats or tropical fats. Swap out butter for olive oil and other plant oils with a healthier profile, such as canola, grapeseed, nut, and safflower oils. Experiment with simple cooking methods that deliver big flavor and satisfying texture, such as poaching for fish and braising or roasting for meats. If you are short on time or live at a higher altitude or where energy costs are high, consider a modern, safety-enhanced pressure cooker, which conserves both nutrients and time.

Eat a diverse diet. As creatures of habit, it is easy to slip into an eating rut. Such habits can result from or lead to boredom with a potential rebellious consequence: binge eating or indulging in poor food choices.

Consider having a meatless protein dish at least once a week as your main course—and discover how delicious and protein-rich foods such as beans, nuts, soy, seitan, and higher-protein grains such as farro and quinoa can be. Even eggs can be used creatively to substitute for meat, as in a baked vegetable-rich frittata. Ask your neighborhood green grocer about ways to prepare or serve different fruits or vegetables that are unfamiliar to you. With vegetables, simple roasting often does the trick, unlocking flavors that even veggie haters can love.

Experiment with herbs and spices. Learn to boost flavor with herbs and spices, including some you may not have tried before. Experiment every couple of weeks with an herb or spice that can kick up flavors in unexpected ways. Combinations of cumin with cinnamon and paprika do wonders for ho-hum meat dishes, marinades, and stews. Or blend herbs such as thyme leaves with olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss with winter vegetables like cauliflower, squash, or carrots to make an easy, no-fuss oven-roasted dish that brings out the natural veggie sweetness along with savory highlights. Even if you don’t consider yourself a creative cook, you can learn to enhance flavor simply by using salt and pepper.

Choose real over processed foods. Real foods are not only tasty and low in additives and chemicals but also packed with many nutrients your body needs besides vitamins and minerals— such as different types of fiber, essential fatty acids, micronutrients, fluids, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and flavonoids, which are typically found in a variety of fruits and vegetables as


well as in tea and wine. This tip is especially important for people who need to curb their sodium intake. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of US adults fall into this group, which includes all adults ages 51 and older, all African Americans, and anyone with high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, or any type of diabetes. A whopping 75 percent of Americans’ salt intake comes from processed, prepackaged, and restaurant foods.

Choose nutrient-dense foods regularly. Foods that are supercharged with a variety of nutrients and those that supply hefty amounts of nutrients associated with a range of healthy effects are sometimes called “superfoods.” Whatever you choose to call them— how about delicious?—these nutrientpacked foods deserve a daily presence at mealtime. Consult your favorite recipe reference to find creative ways to bring these foods to your table.

Eat mindfully. This last tip is especially important for people who struggle with weight or whose eating behaviors set them up to fall into sugary, calorie-laden, highfat food traps. Mindful eating is just that—being aware of the pleasure and nourishment of food in the moment. When applying mindfulness to eating, make yourself aware and appreciative of your nourishment by slowing down your meals and savoring rather than scarfing. Open yourself up to noting the aromas, visual delights, contrasts, textures, flavors, and layers of your meal. Eat with purpose, and apply such mindfulness to your surroundings and to those at your table. Doing so will elevate eating to a shared and satisfying experience. An added benefit is that mindful eating has been shown to help with weight loss and maintenance.

GETTING STARTED Part II: Exercise Guidelines

Aerobic: 10–30 minutes per day. Strength: 8–10 exercises with 10–12 reps. The important thing is that the intensity takes into consideration your current physical condition. Are you considerably deconditioned? If so, start low, and remember to progress slowly! Keep it simple. For example, use a scale of 1–10 to help measure your perceived exertion and intensity of the exercise.

BY BIANC A PENNING ACCREDITED E XERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST C LU B 3 6 0 – TO K Y O H E A LT H A N D F I T N E S S C E N T R E

Fantastic! You have been given the all-clear to exercise. You can follow these guidelines independently, or work with your accredited exercise physiologist to plan an exercise program that’s tailored to you!

Type Exercise selection should focus on the type and stage of cancer, treatment types and schedules, side effects of treatments, patient’s goals and current physical fitness, as well as long- and short-term health effects. Both aerobic activity and strength training are recommended. In fact, a study on “weight lifting in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema” found that slowly progressed weight lifting had a reduction in limb swelling, decreased the incidence of exacerbations, reduced symptoms and increased strength. Strength training doesn't necessarily mean using only heavy weights. Resistance training may focus on exercises that involve large muscle groups for the purpose of maintaining physical function, strength, and endurance during chemotherapy. Alternatively, it may focus on strengthening specific areas of the body that require functional rehabilitation.

Duration and Intensity Suggested durations are just guidelines, and should be altered depending on the stage of treatment and current side-effects you are experiencing.

Measuring it as: • 1–3 low • 4–6 moderate • > 6 moderate to high intensity Ratings would be described as: • 1 – not difficult at all, very easy. • 5 – I am comfortable; I am sweating more, but could maintain this intensity for a while. • 10 – I cannot continue. I could not do one more; I am exhausted.

Frequency Aerobic exercise can be completed on a daily basis, whereas strength-training sessions should be completed two- to three-times a week and, preferably, not on two consecutive days. Significant progress has been made in developing specificity around the type, intensity, and duration of exercise. However, further research is required to establish a detailed set of guidelines for this particular medical condition. For now, ACSM guidelines suggest exercise prescription should be initially based on the recommended exercise prescriptions for healthy adults. Once these are understood, adaptions can be made for the individual's current health status. If you are unsure of how to get started, or you want to assure yourself about doing it safely, get in touch with your nearest qualified health professional for an individualized exercise program—just for you.

MARIEDANIELLE’S APPLE TART I learned how to make this supremely simple and surprisingly tasty tart from my friend Amelie, who in turn learned how to make it from her mother, Marie-Danielle. I know the lineage goes back farther than that, but I associate it with those two lovely women, so Marie-Danielle gets the credit here. I’ve modified the recipe slightly to use homemade spelt puff pastry instead of traditional puff pastry, for its wholesome flavor and exceptionally light texture. If you are pinched for time, store-bought puff pastry makes a fine substitute. Use Dufour or another brand made with all butter instead of vegetable shortening for the tastiest results. Marie-Danielle and Amelie like to use Granny Smith and Gala apples, but any firm, tart apples will work wonderfully.

• 4 large, tart baking apples, about 2 pounds (900 grams [g]) • ⅓ recipe (450 g) Spelt Quick Puff Pastry (recipe on right) • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 6 tablespoons (75 g) granulated sugar • Pinch salt • 1 large egg, lightly beaten for egg wash • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar • CrÚme Fraîche (opposite) or lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel, core, and slice the apples into ⅛-inch slices. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 10-by-15-inch (25-by-38 centimeter [cm]) rectangle. Trim the edges so they are more or less straight and even. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet and sprinkle the flour and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Arrange the apple slices on top of the dough so the edges slightly overlap, while leaving a 1-inch border

around the edges. Sprinkle the remaining granulated sugar and a pinch of salt over the apples. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the apples and press gently to seal at the corners. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the dough is firm. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425ºF (220ºC/Gas Mark 7). When you are ready to bake, brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake the tart, turning the pan halfway through baking until the apples are soft and browning around the edges and the pastry is deep golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream or crÚme fraîche. This tart is best the day it’s made, although it makes a fine breakfast the next morning. Yield: one 10-by-15-inch tart


Spelt Quick Puff Pastry The method to make this quick puff pastry is a lot less involved than traditional puff pastry, but the results are still spectacularly flaky. The addition of spelt flour gives the pastry a bit of a nutty flavor and a delicate, crisp texture when baked. Because this dough is unsweetened, you can use it for both sweet and savory preparations. This dough can used for Marie-Danielle’s Apple Tart.

3 cups (680 g) cold unsalted butter 2Œ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour 2 cups (255 g) spelt flour 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup (240 milliliters [ml]) cold water

Cut the cold butter into Âœ-inch cubes. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl, combine the flours and salt. Add the butter all at once and mix on low speed until the butter is well coated with flour and beginning to break up into smaller pieces. If working by hand, use a pastry blender for this step. Add the water all at once and mix for about 15 seconds, or until the water is evenly incorporated. At this point the dough may look like a crumbly mess: don’t worry about it. Turn the mixture out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface and do your best to pat it with your hands into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a bench scraper to fold the right third of the dough to the center. Fold the CrÚme Fraîche left third of the CrÚme fraîche is a tart, French-style sour cream. It is a bit more dough over the subtle in flavor than American sour cream, and I love to use other two thirds, it both as a garnish and as an ingredient in sweet and savory like a letter.

Store the crÚme fraîche in the refrigerator, but take care covered, for up to seven days. not to add too much more flour Yield: about 1 cup (225 g) to the dough.

Press the dough back into a rectangle roughly 1 inch thick and repeat the process two more times. The dough will seem crumbly, and may fall apart a bit at first, but it will come together eventually. If at any point the bits of butter seem soft, slide the dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for a few minutes, until the butter has hardened up a bit. By the end of the first three turns, the dough will begin to resemble a cohesive mass. After three turns, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to chill and rest. You can leave the dough in the fridge overnight, well wrapped, at this stage if you like. Just be sure to give it a little time to warm up before moving on to the next step. After the dough has rested, use a rolling pin to complete the last three turns. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle just under Âœ inch thick and repeat the letter folds as before. Repeat two more times. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using. If you don’t plan to use the dough immediately, divide it into three parts, each weighing about 1 pound, and wrap each in a double layer of plastic wrap. This dough will keep up to two days in the refrigerator or, wrapped in an additional layer of foil, in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator before using. Yield: about 3 pounds (1,350 g) of pastry, enough for three large tarts or lots and lots of little ones

PISTACHIO POUND CAKE with STRAWBERRIES in LAVENDER SUGAR The rich flavor and beautiful color of pistachios makes them the perfect addition to this classic pound cake. The strawberries here are sweetened with just a bit of lavender-infused sugar, which imparts a subtle and light floral flavor, perfect for spring. I like to serve this cake in thick slices with generous spoonfuls of juicy berries and a dollop of whipped cream, like strawberry shortcake but better. Culinary-grade lavender is available at many spice shops, farmers’ markets, and online, but a tablespoon or so of chopped mint or basil leaves is a fine substitute.

Pistachio Pound Cake • 1 cup (130 g) shelled pistachios • 1Âœ cups (195 g) all-purpose flour • Âœ teaspoon baking powder • Ÿ teaspoon salt • Ÿ cup (175 g) unsalted butter, softened • 1ÂŒ cups (250 g) granulated sugar • 3 large eggs, at room temperature • Âœ teaspoon vanilla extract • ÂŒ teaspoon almond extract • Âœ cup (120 ml) whole milk, at room temperature Strawberries • ÂŒ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, or less if the berries are particularly sweet • Âœ teaspoon organic lavender buds • Âœ vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped from the pod • 1Âœ pounds (675 g) strawberries To Serve Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Position a rack in the center of the oven, preheat to 325ºF (165ºC/Gas Mark 3). Grease and flour a 9-by-5-by-3inch loaf pan. To make the cake: Grind the pistachios in a food processor just until they resemble flour. Be careful to not grind them into pistachio butter (though that would be delicious). Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of the food processor. Pulse until combined. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, then, with the mixer still running, slowly stream in the sugar. Cream the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30

seconds after each addition. Occasionally stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the batter in three additions, mixing until just combined. Finish mixing the batter by hand with a rubber spatula. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove the cake to a rack to cool completely. To make the strawberries: Combine the sugar, lavender, and vanilla seeds in a mortar and grind with a pestle until the lavender is broken up into fine bits and the sugar is fragrant. Alternately, this can be done in a food processor. Hull and slice the strawberries in half if they are small, in quarters if they are larger; combine the sliced strawberries and sugar in a bowl and stir gently. Let the berries macerate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature before serving. To serve: Slice the cooled cake into thick pieces and top each slice with a generous spoonful of berries and their juices. Top with whipped cream. Extra cake keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for three days. Yield: one 9-by-5-inch cake

Seek, Listen, Learn

GETTING a SECOND OPINION If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, seeking a second opinion will allow you to learn more about your cancer type and make truly informed decisions about treatment.

12

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7


BY CHARLES H. WEAVER, MD

G

etting a second opinion is an important part of becoming educated about a cancer diagnosis and treatment options, and all cancer patients should consider seeing at least one additional expert after an initial diagnosis. Getting a second opinion will also give you the opportunity to find a physician you are comfortable with—someone you respect and who you believe is paying attention to your needs. Advances in cancer care are currently occurring at an unprecedented rate due to advances in genomics and technology and the development of precision targeted therapies. In 2015 alone there were 32 new drug approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer. Advances in surgery through the use of robotics and the delivery of radiation using newer technology that more precisely targets the cancer and spares normal tissues are occurring on an ongoing basis, and doctors are increasingly using available therapies in new ways to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer. If you are facing a cancer diagnosis, you need to know which therapy will give you the best chance of a cure and will prolong your life with the fewest side effects. Getting a second opinion will help you understand the treatment options and help you make an informed decision. While many patients I have interacted with over the years have expressed concern that seeking a second opinion might offend their doctor or delay treatment, this is simply not the case. Second opinions are routine, will not offend competent physicians, and do not delay therapy. Second opinions will, however, provide reassurance to

you and your family and potentially expose you to other treatment options that will ultimately allow you to receive the most appropriate therapy.

What Is a Second Opinion? A second opinion is a review of the primary physician’s cancer diagnosis and treatment recommendations by another, independent physician or cancer center. The most valuable second opinions are by physicians who have a dedicated research and clinical interest in your type of cancer at a major cancer center. Either you, as the patient, or the primary physician can initiate the process of getting a second opinion. Usually, patients obtain a second opinion after being referred to a second physician or to a team of experts, called a multidisciplinary team, in a cancer center. This doctor or team of doctors will review the following: • The pathology report (how the cancer looks under a microscope) • To confirm the diagnosis • To see if appropriate testing for specific treatment targets was performed, and whether additional testing is necessary • The stage or extent of spread of the cancer • The patient’s physical condition • The proposed treatment plan and other recommendations The doctor(s) then communicate their opinion regarding treatment to you and, if you desire, to the primary physician. Second opinions are more likely to be comprehensive, or inclusive of every possible perspective, when performed in a cancer center with a multidisciplinary team, which usually

includes surgeons, oncologists, radiation therapists, and subspecialist oncologists.

Why Do I Need a Second Opinion? A second opinion is part of the critical patient-education process. Cancer treatment has evolved tremendously in the recent past. As a result, many cancers are now more treatable than they once were, especially if the appropriate initial treatment is selected. To receive appropriate treatment, you must understand the type of cancer you have and the treatment options that are available. There are also many more options for treatment, however, and these alternatives are more complicated than in the past. For these reasons and others, it is helpful to seek more than one opinion about how the cancer can be treated. A second opinion also provides the opportunity to get information from someone other than the physician who will be directing treatment, who is usually the main source of information for most patients. Second opinions are a common practice in any area of medicine that is complex and that has multiple treatment options available.

Is Getting a Second Opinion Considered “Bad Etiquette”? Patients, relatives, and friends need to keep in mind that second opinions are a standard part of cancer management, and they should not be concerned about offending of the primary physician. If you decide to get an independent second opinion, it is important to communicate openly with the primary physician to obtain needed

Pi NK • S P R I N G 2017

13


information for review and to keep the primary physician informed. Most physicians welcome the opportunity to have a consultant review and approve their care decisions—or perhaps suggest another treatment that may be a better option. There are instances in which a patient may disagree with the primary physician and will need to seek care elsewhere, but this is not the main purpose of a second opinion. Most of the time, you simply need to make sure you are getting the best advice.

Who Pays for a Second Opinion? One problem you may encounter in seeking a second opinion is that insurers may not cover the expense. Many insurance and healthcare companies, however, do pay for second opinions and acknowledge their importance. In some situations insurers will even insist on a second opinion, as is often the case when the primary physician recommends an expensive treatment. Before you seek a second opinion, you will need to review your insurance plan to understand what it covers.

Where Should I Get a Second Opinion? If possible, the best place to get a second opinion is from a physician at a cancer center that has expertise in your cancer type. This will usually, but not always, be at a major cancer center. That said, there are certainly community-based oncologists (general cancer doctors) who have specific treatment and research interests; the point is, get the opinion from someone who specializes in your cancer type. Your primary oncologist should be able to refer you to another expert for a second opinion. In addition to your primary physician, social media can be quite helpful in seeking appropriate experts.

connect with others who have already done the research and are often quite eager to help others facing a diagnosis. One of the leading social communities is CancerConnect; many patients learn of new treatment options and doctors with specific interests from others in these communities.

Who Should Get a Second Opinion? There are situations in which a second opinion can be especially helpful and provide the most benefit, including the following. Poorly understood diagnosis. Patients who feel that they may not fully understand the diagnosis and their treatment options should consider a second opinion. Another physician may communicate in a way that the patient can better understand; or simply hearing the diagnosis a second time may help the patient overcome any denial he or she may have. Initial diagnosis by a non-cancer specialist. Patients who have been diagnosed by a non-cancer specialist benefit from a second opinion. In the United States, doctors other than oncologists often diagnose and treat patients with cancer. Cancers are diagnosed and treated by family doctors, internists, pediatricians, gynecologists, urologists, ear-nose-and-throat doctors, and other non-cancer specialists. In most instances appropriate therapy

is administered. Patients not treated by specialists in cancer treatment, however, should consider seeking a second opinion. In some situations, physicians will not refer patients for a second opinion because they may lose control and revenue from treatment; they may be threatened by having their patient believe another doctor is more knowledgeable. Other times they are just too busy to consult with other physicians. The patients of these types of physicians are probably the most in need of a second opinion. Diagnosis by a cancer subspecialist. Many types of cancers are treated by several different kinds of specialists. For example, prostate cancer may be treated by urologists who are surgeons, radiation oncologists, or medical oncologists who use drug treatment. Each specialist may think that his or her treatment is the best option for the patient. An example of this is in the management of localized prostate cancer: • Surgeons almost invariably advise surgery (radical prostatectomy). • Radiation oncologists invariably advise some form of radiation therapy. For this reason patients with cancers who are treated by subspecialists may want to consult an oncologist or a multidisciplinary team to obtain a thorough understanding of treatment options. Seeking a second opinion from a different type of specialist can be informative, but it can also, unavoidably, cause confusion about treatment options. The best way to resolve this confusion is to gather and use all the available information and make an informed decision.

If you are facing a cancer diagnosis, you need to know which therapy will give you the best chance of a cure and will prolong your life with the fewest side effects.

Apparent lack of treatment options. A second opinion can be useful for patients who are told that


there is no appropriate treatment for their cancer and that there is no hope of survival or relief of symptoms. Such patients have nothing to lose by seeking a second opinion. In this situation patients should seek out physicians and institutions that specialize in treating their specific type of cancer and that perform clinical trials. Often this is accomplished by finding out who is performing clinical trials of novel treatments for the type of cancer in question. A treatment plan that involves a clinical trial. When participation in a clinical trial is recommended by the treating physician, a second opinion should probably be obtained to ensure that this is the appropriate treatment. There are many types of clinical trials, some of which may benefit a patient with a specific cancer and some of which may not. Doctors participate in cancer research by enrolling their patients in clinical trials; however, they often have trouble finding patients to participate. Unconsciously, such doctors may suggest a trial that may not represent the best treatment for a particular patient. Rare cancers. When dealing with a rare cancer, it is usually best to seek a second opinion, unless the diagnosis is made at a center that specializes in the treatment of that specific cancer. If a local expert is available, treatment should probably be switched to that doctor. If the expert is far away, which is likely, the home physician can usually coordinate treatment by phone or e-mail. Even if the cancer isn’t rare, you may benefit from finding someone with a special interest in that specific type. For instance, kidney cancer is not really rare, but it’s not common either; usually, patients with kidney cancer are treated in clinical trials carried out in one of several large institutions. This is because the clinical trial may require specialized treatment and there are not enough patients with kidney cancer at

one institution to make the research meaningful. Surgery as primary treatment. If there is any doubt about the operability or inoperability of a cancer, a second opinion is in order. In this situation patients are urged to seek second opinions from institutions where large numbers of patients are treated. For instance, esophageal cancer may be considered inoperable in a hospital that performs one such procedure a month, but it may be considered operable in an institution that performs several per day. Just as important can be the determination that a cancer deemed operable is in fact inoperable and surgery would be harmful. Small hospitals and rural practices. Patients who live in a rural area and receive treatment at a small hospital probably should get a second opinion from a larger medical center before treatment is initiated. Although smaller hospitals typically deliver excellent treatment, it is prudent to ensure that the recommended treatment is appropriate and can be safely administered. Small and rural hospitals may not see a large volume of cancer patients, and while they are usually fully capable of delivering treatment, it is best to seek a second opinion to help determine what the appropriate treatment is. Sometimes the recommended treatment will determine whether a patient should receive treatment locally or travel to a larger medical center. For example, most small hospitals can effectively deliver chemotherapy, but patients requiring a complicated procedure, such as a stem cell transplant, may need to travel to a larger institution that treats a higher volume of patients. Specialized treatment. Not all medical centers offer the specialized treatments that may yield the best results for some patients. In these cases, a second opinion may be in order. For example,

bone marrow or blood stem cell transplants may offer the best chance for cure or control of the cancer for patients with blood and lymphoid cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Specialized treatment may also be required for cancer involving the liver, a common site for metastases. Recent clinical trials have suggested that sophisticated treatment techniques such as intra-arterial chemotherapy, chemo-embolization, radiofrequency ablation, radioactive isotopes, and conformal radiation therapy can be of major benefit for the treatment of certain cancers. Not all centers have the capability of delivering this type of treatment, however. Patients with cancers that can be treated by such methods require second opinions from specialized institutions.

The Second-Opinion Appointment You should consider your secondopinion appointment a consultation that will either confirm the initial treatment recommendation or allow you to discover other treatment options. For this consultation you should come prepared with an understanding of your primary physician’s treatment recommendations. Consider the following tips for your appointment: • Write down your questions ahead of time and make sure that they are all answered. • Bring your caregiver or someone else to the appointment to listen. • Bring a tape recorder to the appointment. This way you can listen carefully to the consultant, don’t have to take notes, and can listen to the recording when you go home. (Be sure to inform those in the room that you are recording the conversation.) • Make sure you understand your diagnosis and stage and the goal of the treatment being offered.

IT’S IN THE GENES B Y S H I V A N I N A Z A R E T, C G C , A N D C A R O L I N E L I E B E R

Advances in genetic testing are offering women more information than ever before about their genetic makeup and are providing opportunities for empowered decision-making related to a wide range of health issues. In this recurring column, experts provide vital information about how genetic testing suits one’s individual needs, potential risks and benefits, and the role of genetic testing in advancing treatment approaches that target cancer and other diseases.

A lot has changed over the past few years when it comes to DNA testing. In fact, we can now test for more than 100 diseases prior to pregnancy or predict cancers before they even develop. Researchers are using DNA testing to better target medication responses for a variety of conditions, and as the field progresses you may find yourself wondering whether DNA testing is right for you. Here are some important facts for consideration as you navigate the fast-paced world of genetic testing.

1

Your family history offers clues.

A thorough grasp of your family history can offer clues about the kind of testing that may benefit you. Encourage discussions about health history among your relatives—both male and female—to help determine if health problems such as breast cancer run in the family. If they do, genetic

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7

counseling and testing may provide a better understanding of the risks to you and your family members and what to do about them. As you gather clues, notice if there are patterns of cancer, heart disease, or other illnesses that run through the generations. Recognizing inherited patterns of disease can help the entire family. It is important to look at the health history on both sides of the family. For example, when it comes to hereditary breast cancer, your father’s side of the family is equally important. Most women don’t realize that they can inherit the breast cancer gene from their father.

You can use results to plan ahead.

There are a number of key times in life when genetic testing can help you plan ahead, such as if you want to have a baby or are concerned about hereditary cancers. In the case of pregnancy

screening, a carrier screen performed on a sample of blood or saliva from both you and your partner can provide useful insights prior to conceiving. More than 100 rare but significant genetic diseases can be included in a carrier screen, such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, Hurler syndrome, and Wilson’s disease. Some of the diseases on carrier screening panels can be improved with such early interventions as nutritional changes at birth or lining up the right medical specialists. With respect to hereditary cancers, understanding your risk ahead of time allows you to take advantage of frequent surveillance or consider risk-reducing medications, lifestyle changes, or even prophylactic surgery.

3

Carriers of genetic diseases are often healthy. A carrier of a genetic disease is typically a healthy individual. Depending on the type of disease involved, a carrier can remain healthy but pass the disease risk to future generations, as with cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy. In the case of certain cancers, like hereditary colon cancer, a carrier is more prone to developing a cancer early in life as well as passing on the propensity. Many of us are carriers of rare diseases and do not know until we are tested. This is especially the case with recessive diseases, which can appear to skip generations. For a recessive disease to manifest, both mom and dad must be carriers of the same rare gene. Sometimes people choose not to pursue carrier screening because they have no concerning family history, but it’s important to note that more than 80 percent of children with genetic diseases are born to parents with no prior history in their families.


4

Genetic counselors can help you navigate the results. Genetic counselors are experts in facilitating decision-making around DNA testing. They understand that each person has his or her own set of values, life goals, and experiences that define what it means to be fully informed and empowered. The decision to have genetic screening involves many factors. It is helpful to talk about the pros and cons with a genetic counselor and determine whether a screening test is right for you. Questions that may arise in a session include why you want the

information, what you plan to do with the results, and how to talk to family members about the implications. If you are unable to visit a genetic counselor in person, some laboratories offer free telephone access to board-certified genetic counselors. With good counseling, you will feel empowered to understand your results and make informed health choices that are right for you.

5

It’s surprisingly affordable and often covered by medical insurance. Just a few years ago, testing for one

genetic disease (think cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease) could cost a few hundred dollars. Advances in DNA technologies have helped reduce the cost of genetic testing so that today, for that same price or less, laboratories are offering DNA tests for large panels of genetic diseases. What’s more, many insurance plans understand the value of genetic testing in preventing the onset of disease and offer coverage for qualifying individuals. If you are interested in learning more, talk with your doctor and start the conversation with your family. After all, you share a lot more with your family than you think.

OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENT TODAY Increasing understanding of the condition and its treatment is resulting in better fracture prevention and fewer side effects. BY MIA JAMES

W

ith 16 percent of women ages 50 and older living with osteoporosis, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, awareness of and treatment for this bone-weakening condition is an important topic in the national women’s healthcare conversation. (This disease also affects men—4 percent among those ages 50 and older.) Fortunately, we have effective drugs to help improve bone strength, and our understanding of how to best and most safely use these medications continues to grow. We are also learning more about prevention of osteoporosis and how to keep bones healthy through midlife and beyond. The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) defines osteoporosis

as “a disease of the bones that happens when you lose too much bone, make too little bone, or both.” As a result, says the NOF, your bones get weak and can break more easily than healthy bones—from a minor fall or even from sneezing or bumping into furniture. Elizabeth A. Streeten, MD, an associate professor of medicine and pediatrics in the divisions of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Nutrition and Genetics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, describes bones affected by osteoporosis as “less dense than normal.”

Detecting Osteoporosis In fact, many patients learn that they have osteoporosis as the result of fracture from a seemingly innocuous fall. Samantha,* a retired public librar-

we have effective drugs to help improve bone strength, and our understanding of how to best and most safely use these medications continues to grow. 18

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7

ian and public library consultant from Baltimore City, Maryland, was in her midfifties when she had the first sign of osteoporosis—a simple fall that left her with two broken bones. “I tripped walking down the street, fell, and broke my left arm and leg,” she says. “I had no other symptoms other than the broken bones at the time.” She then consulted Dr. Streeten and underwent “a battery of tests” to confirm the diagnosis. Dr. Streeten says that, according to the World Health Organization definition of osteoporosis, a fracture of the hip or spine can make the diagnosis of osteoporosis without additional testing. “If a patient has either one of those [hip or spine fracture], that makes the diagnosis without needing anything else,” she explains. Testing can also diagnose osteoporosis, namely dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which is an enhanced type of X-ray that can measure bone density and compare it with normal values. Dr. Streeten explains that DXA works by comparing the bone density of postmenopausal women (and men over 50) with that of healthy adults in their twenties. The difference in bone density between older patients and


younger individuals is measured numerically and referred to as a T-score. As Dr. Streeten explains, “We diagnose osteoporosis if the bone density is 2.5 standard deviations below young [individuals].” In other words, if you are a postmenopausal woman (or a man over 50) and if your T-score is –2.5 or lower, you’d be diagnosed with osteoporosis. If you have lower bone density according to your T-score, but it’s not low enough to qualify as osteoporosis, you have a condition known as low bone mass (or osteopenia). The T-score for osteopenia is between –1 and –2.5. Low bone mass puts you at greater risk of osteoporosis, making awareness and prevention of bone loss paramount. Premenopausal women have separate criteria for an osteoporosis diagnosis. For this age group, the DXA scoring

system is called a Z-score. The Z-score is based on the standard deviation (or difference) between patients and same-age individuals (controls) with healthy bone density. To be diagnosed with osteoporosis, a premenopausal woman must have a Z-score two points lower than the control (–2) and what’s known as a fragility fracture—which, says Dr. Streeten, is “a fracture resulting from a fall from standing or equivalent,” as opposed to a high-trauma fall, such as from a roof.

Treatment: From Diet to Drugs Before discussing available medical treatments for osteoporosis, Dr. Streeten emphasizes the importance of calcium and vitamin D in bone health. “Everyone—whether they’re

trying to prevent osteoporosis or be treated—should get enough calcium and enough vitamin D to keep bones healthy,” she says. This means 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day, preferably by diet (as it is absorbed better than through supplements) and enough vitamin D to keep the blood level of D normal—at least 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). In addition to calcium and vitamin D, Dr. Streeten encourages exercise for building bone. Beyond these bone-health lifestyle measures, drug therapy can play a role. Dr. Streeten names the following drugs as “first-line treatment”: bisphosphonates, such as Fosamax® (alendronate) and Reclast® (zoledronic acid); the anabolic drug Forteo® (teriparatide)®; and the biologic Prolia® (denosumab). Bisphosphonates slow the rate of bone breakdown and improve bone

19


strength, Forteo increases the rate of bone formation, and Prolia targets a chemical signal to slow the process of bone breakdown. In addition to these first-line therapies, there are osteoporosis treatments that Dr. Streeten says the Endocrine Society (the international professional organization for the fields of endocrinology and metabolism) does not consider first-line; these are Evista® (raloxifene), Boniva® (ibandronate), and Calcitonin® (thyrocalcitonin). “While the others [first-line therapies] reduce hip and spine fracture risk,” she says, “these three don’t reduce hip fracture risk,” rendering them less effective. Dr. Streeten says that for many patients, bisphosphonates are the preferred first-line treatment—specifically, intravenous Reclast or oral Fosamax, as they are the most effective in this class and the most thoroughly researched. “They’re very effective,” she explains, “have a good risk/benefit ratio, and are generally easy to take.” After trying several drugs, Samantha is currently enjoying the benefits of Reclast, which she started taking in 2015.

“I have had no side effects,” she says, adding that her most recent DXA (which she gets annually) showed that her bone density was in the normal range for her age group and has improved over previous studies. An exception to first-line bisphosphonates is made for patients who have multiple compression fractures of the spine. For many such cases, Dr. Streeten recommends starting with the anabolic Forteo and then proceeding to bisphosphonates: “Forteo is best for the spine in terms of improving bone strength and reducing fractures in the spine.” The biologic Prolia is also effective for many patients but has a notable limitation compared with bisphosphonates and Forteo. Whereas bisphosphonates and Forteo can protect you from fracture for at least two years if you stop using them after a treatment period, the protective effects of Prolia cease when you stop taking it. “Fracture rate goes right back to where it was before you were ever treated,” Dr. Streeten explains, “so it’s a drug that has to be used continuously.” As a

result, she says, Prolia is likely a better option for older patients, who will stay on the drug for the rest of their lives, versus younger patients, who may want to take time off between treatment cycles. Dr. Streeten also adds a cautionary note about bisphosphonates: patients need to understand that while three out of four bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Reclast, and Actonel® [risedronate]) reduce both spine and hip fracture, the fourth—Boniva—reduces risk of spine fracture but has not been proven to reduce hip fracture risk. This limitation of Boniva, as well as the reversible effects of Prolia when treatment is stopped, underscore the importance of seeing an expert in osteoporosis (such as an endocrinologist), as opposed to a family practitioner, who may not know the various nuances of these medications and how to best use them. Another of Dr. Streeten’s patients, Beth,* an office manager from Baltimore City, Maryland, in her early sixties, learned firsthand the importance of seeing an expert. When she was first diagnosed, she received Actonel, which, she says, “did nothing for me.” Beth then consulted with Dr. Streeten, who started her on Forteo and then switched her to Prolia after two years, with great results. “Prolia is working wonders and miracles for me now!” Beth says. “I have improved each time I use it, and now I am in the osteopenia range and very happy about this.” In addition, Beth has had no side effects from Prolia.

Side Effects of Treatment: Likely More Benefit than Risk Treatment of osteoporosis is a longterm, or lifelong, prospect. As a result, many patients are rightly concerned about possible side effects. According to Dr. Streeten, however, the reduction in fracture risk for patients at high risk

20

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7


“tremendously” outweighs the risk of side effects. Each type of osteoporosis drug carries its own risk. With bisphosphonates, for example, a portion of patients (5 percent) may experience bone pain. Though uncomfortable, this pain is not associated with any bone damage. Individuals taking Reclast sometimes experience flulike symptoms for a day or two after early infusions. These symptoms tend to lessen with subsequent infusions. Another rare risk of bisphosphonate treatment that Dr. Streeten mentions is what’s known as atypical femur fracture, which occurs when the femur breaks without trauma. Incidence of atypical femur fracture is going down, however, as we’ve learned more about risk factors for this type of fracture and alter treatment to reduce the risk. For example, the risk of this complication increases with the number of years of treatment, so continuous treatment over 10 years is generally not given. In addition, vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of atypical femur fracture and can be prevented by monitoring vitamin D blood level and adjusting vitamin D supplement dose to keep the level normal. In addition, Dr. Streeten says that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indications for using bisphosphonates have changed in such a way that fewer patients at risk of atypical femur fracture are receiving the drugs. “Prior to 2003,” she explains, “we were treating basically every postmenopausal woman with low bone mass,” as Fosamax was initially FDA approved for prevention of osteoporosis. “In other words,” she adds, “you didn’t have to have osteoporosis or fracture risk to be treated.” Today only those at high risk of fracture receive bisphosphonates. In addition, patients can get their vitamin D blood levels tested regularly during treatment to make sure they’re staying within the normal range.

Living with Osteoporosis For Beth, Samantha, and all patients diagnosed with osteoporosis, treatment and management of the condition is ongoing. In addition to treatment with Prolia, Beth exercises three times a week. As a result, she is able to work full-time and is confident in the steps she’s taking to stay strong and reduce her risk of fracture. “I am very optimistic about my bone health and future,” she says. Samantha also keeps up a regular fitness routine of walking, stretching, and light strength training. In addition, her diet is heavy on plant-based foods and includes two servings of dairy per

day, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements. She still considers her bone health “somewhat precarious” and says, “I am doing everything I can to maintain or improve it.” Together both Beth’s and Samantha’s stories speak to the potential effectiveness of treatment for osteoporosis, the benefits of seeing a specialist, and the importance of healthy lifestyle practices in maintaining strong bones. On the whole the message is promising for those affected by low bone density and osteoporosis. *This name is an alias, as the patient asked that her real name not be used.

With Osteoporosis, Prevention Means Strong Bones and Avoiding Falls As options for drug treatment for osteoporosis continue to evolve, the fundamentals of bone-loss prevention have remained fairly consistent in recent decades—namely the combination of the right amount of calcium and vitamin D and bone-building exercise. An additional aspect of the prevention conversation is the importance of preventing falls among people affected by low bone density, as these events are a major cause of fracture. According to Heather Hofflich, DO, FACE, an associate clinical professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Diego Health System, women over 50 (as well as men over 70) should aim for 1,200 mg per day of calcium. “Try to meet this amount with food sources first and then with a supplement,” Dr. Hofflich recommends. In other words, if you’re not getting 1,200 mg per day through diet (such as dairy products, leafy greens, and certain seafood), add a supplement to make up the difference. The general recommendation for vitamin D is between 800 and 1,000 international units (IU) per day. Our bodies produce vitamin D with sunlight, but too much sun exposure is a risk for skin cancer and other skin damage, so it’s good not to rely on the sun for your vitamin D and instead take a supplement. You can have your vitamin D levels checked to determine if you need a supplement and how much to take. Along with calcium and vitamin D, exercise is a major component of bone health. This is especially true of weight-bearing activities, such as walking, running, jogging, and using an elliptical machine. “These exercises help stimulate new bone and should be done for at least 30 minutes, five to seven days per week,” Dr. Hofflich says. If you have low bone density, preventing falls is essential because osteoporosis increases your risk. “Have your eyes checked routinely and have medications checked to make sure you’re not taking anything that causes problems like dizziness,” Dr. Hofflich advises. She also recommends using a walker or cane and seeing a physical therapist to help improve balance and stamina. At home, handrails on stairs and in bathrooms can help you stay on your feet, as can keeping floors clean (but not slippery) and free of clutter and using rubber mats in the bathtub and shower. Good lighting, Dr. Hofflich says, can also help reduce the risk of tripping and falling at home. Finally, Dr. Hofflich recommends not smoking and, if you drink alcohol, do so only moderately. Both are linked with osteoporosis.

THE EVENT PLANNER Filling the Foundation’s calendar BY DAVID UMEDA

M

arco Magnani, the 46-year-old Event Manager at Run for the Cure® Foundation, considers his decision to apply for the position four years ago life-changing. “To be honest, before joining the Foundation, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next. But when I saw the job listing—and I finally met the chairwoman of the Foundation—I was struck by the fact that if I could join the Foundation, I might have the opportunity to do something really meaningful,” Magnani reflects. “It was not just a job, but a way to help other people to be healthier. So even though it was completely new for me, and not related to my background at all, I was eager to accept it.” Taking the job has had an unexpectedly positive effect on his own health as well. “I don’t think it was a coincidence that, for example, after I joined the Foundation I decided to quit smoking,” he says. “And I started to read many books about health, fitness, cancer prevention.” He also started to run in marathons. And this hobby has, in turn, helped him improve how he goes about his work for the Foundation. “The fact that I am training for marathons and doing these exercises has

22

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7

given me a lot of energy, it has taught me responsibility, and has also given me a better sense of how to plan effectively,” Magnani explains. “For example, planning for a marathon is not easy at all. When I decide to run a marathon, I always write down in my diary what I have to do, which exercises, every day for the months leading up to it. An example would be on Monday, run 12K at a slow pace; Tuesday, do 3x3K intervals at a fast pace; Thursday, run 9K at a medium pace; and Sunday, take the 25K at a slow pace.” Once Magnani has a plan, it helps him to stay committed to following through on it. “And if for some reason I do not follow it, I have learned from past experience that my result will be affected greatly,” adds Magnani. His approach to his work is pretty much the same: he has to be careful with the details. “When I have an event to plan, a small detail can become important later,” Magnani states. “If I miss something, it might affect the results of the event. It’s always like this, so I try to be careful and to write everything down!”

Family man Magnani grew up in Florence, Italy, and has been in Japan for over 15 years, raising a family with his wife Mariko.

“It was not just a job, but a way to help other people to be healthier. So even though it was completely new for me, and not related to my background at all, I was eager to accept it.”


They have a son, Taro, who is 13, and a daughter, Sara, who is 9. “Actually, I think being healthy is not just something personal,” he observes. “But especially now, after having been working for the Foundation for the past four years, I realize that staying healthy is also a responsibility to your family, the people around us. If you are healthy, you can be an inspiration to others to stay healthy.” His daughter is still very young, but when he thinks about her, he recognizes the need to stay healthy, and also the importance of teaching her how to lead a healthy life. “Just think about how many things we can do together if we are both

healthy,” he says. “And because she is a female, I will make sure I teach her about breast cancer in the future, and also about other sicknesses that are around and affecting people’s lives.”

Communication Magnani is trilingual, and has the chance to use all three of his languages on the job. But there are some differences with regard to when and how he uses each one. English is the language he uses most often, especially when he needs to ensure his point is clearly understood by everyone. When he wants to convey guidelines to a sponsor, for example,

Magnani naturally turns to English. “When I think about what I am doing with Japanese, I use it in a different way, especially on the phone,” he continues. “Even if there is a Japanese person on the other end who is good at English, my experience has taught me that they would prefer to speak in Japanese. It helps them feel comfortable with me.” He adds that it is a good way to gain the trust of others. The opportunities to speak Italian are fewer, however. “But I can say that the way I speak with an Italian person is very casual, very friendly, even if it is businessrelated,” Magnani says. “I talk in a way that sounds like we are friends. And this is important. When I have the opportunity to speak Italian, I enjoy it a lot.”

Looking ahead The Foundation’s event schedule is pretty full. “I still have to find time, though, to think about what we want to achieve, or what should change about our strategy for the future,” Magnani explains. What he aims to do over the coming year is to bring in more Japanese companies as sponsors to support the Foundation. “What we are doing basically is for Japanese women, for the Japanese community,” he observes. “But for all these years, so many contributions, so many supporters have been primarily from the international community. “I know that Japan does not have the same kind of charity culture as the United States or other Western countries,” he adds. “But I am sure that, because it is something we are doing for the Japanese community, step by step they will join in and support us.” Like with his marathons, Magnani is planning carefully for the next phase of the race to beat breast cancer as a lifethreatening disease in Japan.

Cancer Survivorship

ANXIETY, STRESS, and DEPRESSION BY BARRIE C ASSILETH, MS, PHD

C

ancer inevitably stirs up many feelings. It’s normal to become anxious or stressed-out, and many patients and family members face feelings of depression. Help is, however, readily available. Talking about your feelings with people you trust can be beneficial. In some cases, medications may help. But there is also a whole realm of complementary therapies for your possible use. Some, like meditation, require some effort on your part; others, like massage, are completely passive. Many of these therapies may be available through a hospital. Whatever your condition or preferences, something in this realm will likely fit. It’s important that you choose what feels right for you.

Managing Anxiety, Stress, and Depression with Mind-Body Therapies Meditation, in which you focus awareness and attention on your breathing or on some other sound or object, is probably the most popular and widely used mind-body technique. It has been studied extensively over the past few decades and is becoming increasingly mainstream. Regular meditation decreases anxiety, wards off bouts of chronic depression, and helps patients to cope more effectively. Meditation is frequently combined with yoga as part of a program called mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). In one study breast and prostate cancer patients who took an eight-week MBSR course and continued practicing on their own experienced increased quality of life and decreased stress. The patients’ blood pressure improved, and their stress hormone levels decreased. These

24

PiN K • SPRIN G 2 0 1 7

benefits lasted for at least 12 months. Multiple controlled trials involving cancer patients with varying diagnoses and stages of disease show that meditation decreases anxiety and depression. Meditation, however, is only one of many mind-body therapies that can help reduce psychological symptoms and control pain. Others include biofeedback, guided imagery, hypnosis, relaxation therapy, and more. All of these approaches are effective strategies that harness the reciprocal relationship between mind and body to produce symptom relief. An analysis of 116 separate studies on this topic concluded that mind-body therapies could benefit cancer patients experiencing anxiety, depression, moodiness, and difficulty coping. Relaxation therapy, for example, may be as effective as anti-anxiety medication. A randomized controlled trial that compared relaxation therapy with the drug Xanax® (alprazolam) found that both significantly reduced anxiety and

depression, although the medication was faster acting and slightly more powerful for depression. Still, relaxation had nearly the same outcome, at lower cost and with no side effects. Hypnosis also reduces anxiety and distress and may be particularly effective for children. Mind-body therapies are well worth trying out. Select those that appeal to you.

Managing Anxiety, Stress, and Depression with Massage Therapy It is not surprising that massage therapy is very beneficial for stress relief. Several studies show that massage reduces anxiety and related symptoms, probably at least in part by decreasing levels of stress hormones. A study in breast cancer patients found increased levels of serotonin and dopamine and decreased stress hormone levels after massage, with patients reporting reduced anxiety, depression, and anger. In one small randomized trial, 35 patients received either massage or usual care while waiting to receive bone marrow transplants. After only one week and an average of three massage sessions, patients reported considerably less anxiety. Fatigue, distress, and nausea diminished, as well. A larger study of 87 hospitalized cancer patients tested the effects of foot massage on anxiety. Patients who


received foot massage reported significant decreases in their pain and anxiety, compared with patients who did not get massage. Interestingly, studies suggest that aromatherapy can magnify the effects of massage on anxiety. In aromatherapy massage, aromatic oils are added to the massage oil, adding pleasant aromas to the experience and further promoting relaxation.

Perhaps most importantly, massage is both pleasant and very safe. Be sure to seek out a therapist trained to work with cancer patients; this is particularly important if you are getting massage therapy outside a hospital setting.

Managing Anxiety, Stress, and Depression with Yoga Yoga, a combination of breathing techniques, physical postures, and meditation, has been used successfully to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve concentration, sleep, and digestion, among other things. Several studies have shown yoga to effectively improve psychological symptoms and mental health. A recent metaanalysis of 10 studies, covering 762 cancer patients, concluded that yoga produced significant improvements in anxiety, depression, distress, and stress. Although relatively few studies of yoga have been conducted with cancer patients to date, the technique is clearly very promising.

Managing Anxiety, Stress, and Depression with Music Therapy Music therapists connect with their patients through sound and song, rather than words. As musicians who are also trained as counselors, they typically bring portable instruments to the bedside, allowing patients to participate in playing, singing, or writing songs. This type of therapy often benefits both the patient and his or her family. It can reduce anxiety, depression, and pain, as well as encourage communication.

Other Things That May Help Manage Anxiety, Stress, and Depression Acupuncture may also help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, although this has not been thoroughly studied to date. In one high-quality trial, patients who had undergone surgery for various cancer diagnoses received both acupuncture and Swedish massage sessions on the first two days after their operations. This combination of complementary therapies produced a significant reduction in depression compared with patients who received usual care, as well as substantial reductions in pain scores. Acupuncture has also been shown to reduce anxiety prior to surgery, although it is not clear whether it has similar effects on general anxiety in cancer patients. A few studies suggest that it can enhance mood in breast and prostate cancer patients undergoing hormonal therapy, for whom mood disturbance is a common side effect. Furthermore, many patients find acupuncture to be a relaxing and rewarding experience. Many patients try various herbs and dietary supplements to reduce anxiety and depression. Saint-John’s-wort is a notable example because it may be as effective as placebo or standard antidepressants for mild-to-moderate depression. This herb can have significant interactions with many drugs, however, and should not be used by patients on chemotherapy or other prescription medications. Similarly, an herb called kava kava was found to be effective for anxiety, stress, and insomnia, but it may cause liver damage. It is advisable to discuss with your physician any supplements you plan to take to ensure that there won’t be any harmful interactions.

“I am so proud of how much we have accomplished over the years, thanks to your continued support”

In

2002, the euro entered into circulation, George W. Bush was serving his first term as president of the United States, and South Korea and Japan hosted the FIFA World Cup. It was also the year that breast cancer awareness NPO Run for the Cure® Foundation started in Shibuya, Tokyo. This year marks the Foundation’s 15th anniversary, so the theme of Pink Ball 2017 was, fittingly, “15”. The gala fundraising event took place in The Galaxy Ballroom at The Westin Tokyo on March 3rd, with 256 guests and 70 volunteers in attendance. “The reason Pink Ball exists is the cause— that’s what makes it unique and dear to me,” said Vincent Nelias, managing director of Swarovski Japan’s Consumer Goods Business, adding that his mother is a breast cancer survivor. “I appreciate the team here in Japan and what they are doing; it’s just amazing.” In her welcoming address, Founder and Chairperson Vickie Paradise Green highlighted some of the Run for the Cure® Foundation’s achievements so far. These include the donation of six mammography machines to rural clinics in 2005, the launch of PiNK magazine in 2007, the start of the educational initiative The Lemon Project in 2013, support for Japan’s pathologists, and that ¥515,573,958 has been raised by the Foundation—not including the proceeds from this year’s Pink Ball. “That is more than half a billion yen for breast cancer awareness,” Green stated. “I am so proud of how much we have accomplished

over the years, thanks to your continued support.” In line with the theme of this year’s Pink Ball, there were a total of 15 live auction prizes. A few of these, in particular, drew some exceptionally spirited bidding. A night at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo together with dinner at the Restaurant Sant Pau was sold for ¥1 million, well above its ¥295,000 value. A home dinner party catered by Tony Evans and Peter Roland, valued at ¥125,000, went for ¥260,000. And a six-night trip to New York City—with a pair of business class tickets from United Airlines, hotel packages at the InterContinental Barclay and The Lowell, and a seven-day rental of a Hertz rent-a-car— raised ¥1.7 million.

“I’m always impressed and amazed by people’s generosity, whether that’s individual or corporate,” Alison Espley, United Airlines’ managing director – Japan and Pacific sales, and a Foundation trustee, told PiNK. “I think it’s a redeeming feature of mankind; that you come to these events and see people truly wanting to do good things.” The total amount raised for the Foundation from the live and silent auctions, along with sales of raffle tickets, was ¥21,394,500. “We love participating in the auctions,” said Olga Vlietstra, general manager at Servcorp Japan, and also one of the Foundation’s trustees. “And I think the food and the entertainment are great. The whole event is fantastic.” Chef Costantino Gemmoli, master chef at Elio Locanda Italiana, served guests a fivecourse meal which included Trapanese-style penne, risotto with calamari, and Akaushi beef stewed in red wine. The Tenrin Daiko Darakan Shido group gave a stunning taiko drum performance, and electric violinist Song played a selection of classical favorites— with a rock twist—to loud cheers from the audience. The evening was a truly enjoyable one, but the reason for the event was never far from the thoughts of those gathered. In her speech, Green noted one often-overlooked aspect of breast cancer treatment.

“The personal impact of appearancerelated changes due to cancer treatment can be devastating for most women,” she observed. “[It can] affect one’s sense of self, social functioning, and self-esteem.” For his work in this area, Dr. Toshiharu Minabe was presented with the Unknown Hero Award for 2017. Minabe, who is professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Saitama Medical University, told PiNK that reconstructive breast surgery in Japan is two decades behind the Western world, but he is someone who is working diligently to train surgeons here and help the nation catch up. “Microsurgery is the most sophisticated technique in surgery 
 [and with it] we can reconstruct faces, breasts, and parts of the genital area,” Minabe explained in his acceptance speech. “Now, in Japan, we are doing breast reconstruction in a safer and more sophisticated manner.” He underscored the importance of how women feel about themselves following surgery. “They are delighted,” Minabe beamed. The goal of the Foundation, together with the U.S.-based National Breast Cancer Coalition, is to see a cure by 2020; and Green told the audience that progress towards this end is being made. “We have all lost far too many loved ones and too many friends, and we want it to stop,” she stated. “Yet we see some promise that the tide is indeed turning as more of those working to fight breast cancer focus on the goals of preventing women from getting the disease and stopping women from dying of it.” The enthusiastic participation of supporters, sponsors and volunteers demonstrates everyone’s hope that over the next 15 years, the Foundation’s mission will have been achieved, that fundraisers like Pink Ball will no longer be necessary, and that deaths from breast cancer will be a thing of the past.

United Airlines Pink Day United Airlines is one of Run for the Cure® Foundation’s long-standing Partner Sponsors. They organize a Pink Ribbon event at their office every year as part of United Airlines’ breast cancer awareness initiatives. In November 2016, nearly 100 employees participated in the “Pink Day” event. The venue was decorated in very bright pink, and staff members all dressed in pink. A costume contest was held, and employees voted for the best costume, with Alison Espley, Managing Director – Japan and Pacific Sales, awarding its winner. Pink donuts and snacks were prepared especially for the occasion. The event was very successful in raising awareness and providing employees an opportunity to learn and reflect more on breast cancer, in an enjoyable audiencefriendly setting.

At Pink Ball held on Friday, March 3rd, 2017, where we celebrated the Foundation's 15th anniverisary, we collaborated once again with CROSS this year, to host a "Dear Survivor" message corner. All guests had the opportunity to write a personal message to a survivor using the elegant pens created by CROSS. Toward the end of the evening, survivors chose their favorite messages, and the authors were awarded a Cross Botanica Gold Fountain Pen, worth around 17,000 yen each. We thought it timely to share some of these inspiring messages with our readers.

You have conquered a long, uphill road. I believe happiness, much greater than the mountain you have crossed, is awaiting you. Cheers to your courage! 長く険しい山を良く乗り越えお来たしたね。 これからはあなたが越えた山を倧きく超える幞せが埅っおいる こずでしょう。 貎方の勇気に也杯
