How to Starve Your Fibroid Tumor-SIR 29th Annual Sci Mtg PhoenixAZ

FYI-

From Ivanhoe's Medical Breakthroughs

www.ivanhoe.com Reported 3/29/04:

" How to Starve Your Fibroid Tumor "

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Twenty percent to 40 percent of American women

ages 35 and older have benign tumors in the uterus called uterine

fibroids. A new study shows uterine artery embolization, or tumor

shrinking, is a safer treatment for these tumors compared to

surgically removing them during a myomectomy.

I'm sure Carla Dionne, moderator of uterinefibroids@yahoogroups,

Ex.Dir. of the National Uterine Fibroids Foundation (NUFF.org)

and author, " Sex, Lies & the Truth About Uterine Fibroids "

will give us more information about the Society of Interventional

Radiology's (SIRWEB.org) 29th Annual Scientific Meeting.

Personally, I wish SIR would have put a different

spin on this press release.
