Clinical Lab Market In China Booming Despite Recession
Diagnostic companies looking for growth in a tough economy can still find a vibrant market for their products in China, says a leading healthcare market research publisher. IVD markets in China will grow to more than $1.5 billion in 2009, making it the world"s sixth largest IVD market. The last few years have seen market growth of 15-20%. With about 575 new hospitals opening each year and a government plan to open more than 20,000 health clinics, the lab market is booming, according to a new report, "Who is Who in Clinical Diagnostics in China (Manufacturers and Distributors Profiles, Market, Industry Overview)," from Kalorama Information, in partnership with IVD market research firm McEvoy & Farmer.

Cardiologist Urges People To Get Informed About Angioplasty
A report broadcast during the CBS Evening News on June 8 noted that one in 200 patients die during elective coronary angioplasty procedures and suggested that patients may be safest at institutions where surgical backup is readily available when complications occur.

First International Conference On Cancer Of Unknown Primary To Be Held London October 15

When a patient is diagnosed with metastatic disease the primary site of the cancer is usually, but not always, evident. When the origin of the cancer is not identified it is described as a Cancer of Unknown Primary site, or CUP. Each year in the UK over 10,000 people are diagnosed with CUP. This is a higher incidence than known cancers such as pancreatic, ovarian, uterine, kidney, brain, cervical or blood (leukaemia) cancers. This October, the first international conference devoted to CUP will be held in London. It aims to bring together people of different disciplines and experiences to share knowledge and understanding and to look for ways forward. There will be a number of short presentations, expert panel discussions and the chance to interact and network with colleagues in the field. The conference, titled: Overcoming the unknown: New approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of carcinomas of unknown primary, will be held on October 15th at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, in Regents Park, London. The conference is for oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, palliative care physicians, surgeons, nurses, researchers and all medical practitioners with an interest in CUP. There will also be representation from cancer charities and those whose lives are, or have been, touched by CUP. The registration fee is ÷£98 inclusive of lunch, refreshments, conference materials, VAT. There is a discount of ÷£30 for anyone registering on or before 30 June. To register, please see the website http://www.cupfoundjo.org/conference/index .and download a registration form.
