MARCH IS COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Dr. Howard M. Hack, Board-Certified Gastroenterologist and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy would like the public to know that March has been designated as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month..
Dr. Hack, who has recently opened an office in Las Vegas, also has offices in Los Angeles and Kingman, Arizona, where his medical team provides advanced and personalized care in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the function and disorders of the GI system, which includes the colon, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and small intestines.
A graduate of the Washington University School of Medicine, Dr. Hack completed his medical training at the Cleveland Clinic, Barnes Hospital (Washington University), and did his gastroenterology training at Stanford. He has performed over 30,000 endoscopic procedures, including the use of advanced techniques fro the detection and removal of colon polyps. In addition, Dr. Hack has performed over 700 wireless capsule endoscopies and actively works with colleagues at Stanford, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and mayo Clinic.
The American Society for Gasrointestinal Endoscopy states that colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women in the United States, excluding skin cancer and is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. It was believed to be the cause of close to 50,000 deaths in 2009. The good news is that this number has decreased from 2005, when approximately 56,000 died from colorectal cancer. In fact, the death rate from colorectal cancer has been dropping for the past 15 years, due to the probability of the earlier detection of polyps before they develop into cancers.
According to Dr. Hack, this number can be lowered even more with public awareness involving the application of timely and proper colon cancer screening. Ninety percent of people whose colorectal cancer is found at an early stage are alive five years after diagnosis.
Dr. Hack states that colorectal cancer is often present in people without symptoms and that is why screening for colon cancer is so important. Beginning at age 50, both men and women at average risk for developing colorectal cancer should have a screening colonoscopy and then repeat the procedure every ten years. Colonoscopy, when performed by a well-trained endoscopist, gastroenterologist or surgeon, is the most effective screening test for colon cancer because it allows for the detection and removal of precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer. It is important to know, reminds Dr. Hack, that 85 percent of colorectal cancers occur in people with no family history of colon cancer.

The Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip is featuring local musicians
Andrew Courtney is one of the few promoters in Vegas with an original thought. "How many bands do we need playing the same tired material?" We don't need to walk into three places in the same night and hear three bands playing the same songs... No one likes "Brick House" or "Journey" that much. Andrew is among a select group of people who know their customers and consistently book stuff that works with their venue. Kathi at the Cannery comes to mind as do some of the folks at Boyd. These people are looking way beyond quarterly numbers and creatively pursuing things like social networking and getting locals to become active in moving their properties into the future. (Peter at the Hilton not only thinks outside the box he is tearing the box to pieces.) There are also a hand full of exceptional promoters presenting memorable live music because they love it like Roxie Amoroso, Michael Soli, Brian Saliba, James Woodbridge, Josh Figg, Joe Love, J. Quigley, Jason Sturtsman, Patrick Trout etc.
These are the people that are going to put live music back into
"With so many Vegas nightclubs in questionable health, casinos are increasingly turning to live music to save the day. Live music is one of the few things left that people still seem to be willing to peel their ass off their couch for, so promoters are booking singer-songwriter showcases at bars, intimate acoustic performances in restaurant lounges and bangin’ mini-concerts in mega-clubs alongside the DJs." - Xania Woodman
