Oncimmune® (USA) LLC Recognizes Lung Cancer Awareness Month; Featuring 30 Individual Lung Cancer Stories
De Soto, KS (PRWEB) November 07, 2011
Oncimmune (USA) LLC, maker of EarlyCDT®-Lung, a simple blood test that aids physicians in the early detection of lung cancer, is promoting Lung Cancer Awareness Month (LCAM) through an educational blog series. The series will feature 30 stories in 60 days from lung cancer survivors, those currently battling the disease and people who have lost loved ones to lung cancer.
Founded in 2006, Oncimmune (USA) LLC is committed to the ongoing pursuit of early cancer detection methods. Now offering the EarlyCDT-Lung test in all 50 states, Oncimmune is changing the way physicians approach lung cancer detection. EarlyCDT-Lung is a simple blood test used to identify specific autoantibodes (immuno-biomarkers), which are elevated in patients with lung cancer. Because these autoantibodies are present at the earliest stages of the disease, EarlyCDT-Lung can be used to aid in diagnosing high risk patients, potentially before they exhibit specific symptoms of lung cancer.
Observed during the month of November, LCAM is an annual educational campaign designed to raise awareness about the risk factors of lung cancer, detection methods, symptoms and available treatment options. During this annual observation, thought leaders in lung cancer research and education work together to foster conversation about this dangerous disease.
Oncimmune is doing their part to raise awareness during LCAM. The blog series was launched on Oncimmune’s educational website, http://www.HelloHaveYouHeard.com, on October 25. The 30 Stories in 60 Days series will run through mid-December. Each week the blog will feature stories of lung cancer survivors, as well as accounts from those who have lost loved ones to the disease.
One such story is of Sandra, a 66 year old lung cancer survivor. Sandra was a heavy smoker, but had stopped smoking in 2003. After suffering a continuous pain in her side, Sandra had a CT scan. The CT revealed a spot on her left lung. Her doctor recommended remaining vigilant with frequent follow-up imaging. While the spot on her lung was visible by CT, a PET scan did not reveal any signs of it being cancer.
Having lost her brother to the disease, this scare motivated Sandra to do more research. During her investigation she discovered Oncimmune’s Facebook page, and learned about EarlyCDT-Lung. Sandra decided to order an EarlyCDT-Lung collection kit and worked with her pulmonologist to have her blood drawn. The test results were positive, indicating that lung cancer might be present. After further evaluation, it turned out that Sandra had stage IA adenocarcinoma, predominantly bronchioloalveolar type.
Fortunately, her cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes and a thoracic surgeon was able to remove the tumor. In fact, just a couple weeks after Sandra’s surgery, she was back to teaching Zumba classes.
“We are honored to share these inspirational stories from some very strong individuals,” said Dan Calvo, President and CEO of Oncimmune. “Lung cancer has impacted my immediate family and I know that raising awareness about lung cancer through sharing of personal experiences is a valuable tool to fight and cope with this disease.”
In addition to the 30 Stories in 60 Days campaign, Oncimmune released an educational video series to promote LCAM. Each video provides insight and information to help the general public better understand the risks factors of lung cancer and the importance of early detection. Watch for more exciting announcements from Oncimmune as they work to educate the public about lung cancer during LCAM and throughout the year.

Packaging Design Company, Flexpak Corporation, Walks to Support Breast Cancer Awareness
Packaging Design Company, Flexpak Corporation, Walks to Support Breast Cancer Awareness
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 08, 2011
On Saturday, October 29, 2011, packaging design company, Flexpak Corporation, had a team of over 20 walkers raise more than $ 1,100 through their participation in the 19th annual American Cancer Society’s, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer at Tempe Beach Park in Tempe, Arizona. This year’s three-mile walk, attended by the largest turnout in history with over 11,000 people raised an astounding $ 700,000! The Pink Walk was a celebration of survivorship, an occasion to express hope, and a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love.
“Flexpak has had a team of walkers the last 8 years,” said Wanda Guerra, Director of Finance and Flexpak team leader. “We had participation from every Flexpak department. What a great way to spend a Saturday with great weather, friends, exercise and all for a great cause! We give a special thanks to our team members who walked and to all who donated.”
Flexpak Corporation is proud to be a member of the Phoenix Valley contributing organizations that matched our individual Flexpak employee donations and proud to be a part of the American Cancer Society. More than a walk, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a powerful and inspiring event that unites communities to celebrate people who have battled cancer, raise awareness about the steps we can take to help prevent the disease, and raise money to find cures and support programs and services for those facing the disease.
The Flexpak Team’s fundraising support enables the American Cancer Society to save lives by:
Helping people stay well by educating and empowering women to live healthy lives and reduce their risk for breast cancer, and to get screening tests such as mammograms to find breast cancer early, when it is easiest to treat
Helping people facing breast cancer get well by providing information, day-to-day help, and emotional support to guide them through every step of their breast cancer experience
Finding cures by investing in and conducting research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries into breast cancer’s causes and cures
Fighting back by working with legislators to support laws that help fight breast cancer and help all women get access to screenings and care
In 2010, more than 800,000 walkers across the country joined the American Cancer Society in our united fight against breast cancer. Together, we raised more than $ 60 million through Making Strides events – and we did it one donation at a time.

Disco superstar Gloria Gaynor joined well-known Texas philanthropists Lester and Sue Smith in a colorful, surprise dance tribute performed by more than 200 breast cancer survivors and supporters at the Houston Galleria mall June 4, 2011. The upbeat video was released June 5 in conjunction with National Cancer Survivors Day. The event had a single goal —to celebrate the survivor in all of us and raise awareness about breast cancer, a disease that strikes one in eight women nationally. The event also launched the Smith’s Pink Well Challenge, a national campaign symbolized by an active pink pump jack located in the heart of West Texas. Through Pink Well Challenge, the Lester and Sue Smith Foundation will give away up to million in matching funds to eligible breast cancer organizations. Applications are being taken at www.pinkwell.org until October 1, 2011. Featured dancers included the Smiths, who are two-time National Latin Dance Champions. A successful Texas oilman, Smith is also a two-time cancer survivor.
