Possible Future Cancer treatment for Breast, Prostate and Pancreatic Cancers

An FDA-approved drug normally used to treat diabetes could control the growth of certain cancers, according to a new study.

What Drug is it?

It's ' METFORMIN'. Yes, Metformin..

Metformin targets the liver to lower blood glucose in type 2 diabetes patients.

But now in an unprecedented finding, scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital have found that same process has an anti-cancer effect.

Specifically, tests have shown the drug targets cells' mitochondria (the 'battery' of the cell) in a way that restricts the growth of *breast, pancreas and prostate cancer* .

The somewhat accidental discovery about a drug for a different disease could be groundbreaking for cancer control and treatment.

We hope for the better Future..

MRCP Ireland will not be accepted as a direct substitute for the MRCP(UK) in ST3 recruitment. However, candidates who are EEA nationals, whose training to date has been undertaken under the Irish 'Basic Specialty Training' system, and who have gained the MRCP(Ireland) examination, are likely to be eligible under the EEA eligibility rule described above (assuming all other criteria are also met).

November 7, 2011

Letter of Recommendation

It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation in support of Dr.XYZ whom I have known as an in-patient clinical/surgical resident, and as an XYZ physician since November, 2006 till present.

Dr. XYZ proved himself to be a competent, responsible and hardworking resident doctor. He is keen to work and keeps himself updated. He is not only dependable but he demonstrated total commitment to the care of patients. Dr. XYZ shared in follow-up and management of Internal medicine in-patients. In the wards he performed various practical procedures like lumber puncture, abdominal and thoracic paracentesis, liver and pleural biopsies, endotracheal intubations, etc.

He is extremely co-operative
