European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 4, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday october 4, 1937 the stars and stripes an Landert dear readers a few week ago notified my client newspapers around he Globe to hold Back a column thai i had sent for publication. 1 provided a substitute you Are entitled to know the Story behind this unprecedented re quest. Hen it is a Reader in Des Moines had  Usa today about a treatment a i for advanced prostate cancer. She v Al Laid it sounded too Good to be  according to the article. Or. Demand Labrie of que Bec Canada told the american cancer society science writers in san Diego in 1984 that his new Ami hormone approach to prostate cancer produced remission in 100 percent of the Case. Cancer of the prostate ii second Only to lung cancer As the cancer most fatal to , moles. About 80,000 cases Are discovered every year. Approximately half occur in men Between 45 and 67. So much Tor the myth that his is an old Man s disease according to or. Labrie traditional therapy involved either surgical castration which could create severe psychological problems or High doses of oestrogen which might cause cardiovascular ailments. These procedure however produced remission rates of 60 percent to go per cent or. Labrie has treated More than 800 patients with advanced prostate cancer in the last three years. He combines a drug thai cuts Oil cancer stimulating adrenal gland secret ions with a chemical that blocks hormones secreted by the Testicles. His findings ot87 patients never treated before remission occurred in 100 percent even if their cancer had spread to the Bones. Only 35 percent of the 713 patients who had had previous hormone therapy improved for his treatment to be totally effective or Labrie pointed out patients must use it first. My editors had second thoughts about the statement referring o a 100 percent remission rate. When 1 did additional checking with researchers and physicians 1 ran into a variety of opinions about or. Labrie and his Daims ranging rom Tow key and reasonable to wild eyed and maniacal one of the most objective and sane voices was that of or. Bruce Chabner director of the division of cancer treatment at the National cancer Institute on whose advisory Board i served from 19so to 1986. Or. Chabner Laid or. Labrie when describing his results frequently uses the word cure we believe the word remission is More accurate. Also or. Labrie s figures arc based on three year histories. We believe at least five years of trials must be studied before any claims Are made. Hie Labrie approach does seem to have some Small advantage in that it produces better pain control and his patients stay in remission a few months longer. The difference in treat ment is that or Labrie uses two drugs flu unite and leu Politte. Al present full amid has not been approved by he food and drug administration which is Why Many . Citizens go to Canada for  or. Labrie said it is not essential that patients go to Quebec. The drug though not approved is available at certain . Clinics on an experimental basis.
