Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker is the legendary sword once wielded by Thunderaan, Prince of Air. Equipping the sword awards the Feat of Strength, Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.
Ragnaros the Firelord, and his lieutenants Garr and Baron Geddon, defeated Thunderaan, Prince of Air, during the war following the First Age of Creation. Ragnaros was unable to fully destroy Thunderaan's essence, so he forced what little remained into a talisman of elemental binding and shattered it. He gave the two halves to his lieutenants. Ages passed, and somehow the talisman halves found their way into the hands of Highlord Demitrian, a follower of Thunderaan. He recombined the talisman but was unable to release his master. Instead, he did the best he could: He crafted a blade to serve as a vessel for his master's essence.
Thunderfury is a vicious sword, crafted from elementium and containing a crackling electrical core that might be all that remains of Prince Thunderaan. The hilt is unusually long, wrapped in black dragon hide, and studded with small spikes of black dragon bone.[1] (MM&M 152)
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker is the reward from the quest Rise, Thunderfury!. It is the culmination of a challenging and very expensive quest chain.
- [60] Examine the Vessel
- [60R] Thunderaan the Windseeker
- [60] Rise, Thunderfury!
The quest chain begins when you loot the Left or the Right half of the [Bindings of the Windseeker], which drop off Baron Geddon and Garr respectively, in Molten Core. Upon looting either of these, you must travel to Silithus and talk with Highlord Demitrian. He will give you the [Vessel of Rebirth] which starts the quest chain.
The next quest requires you to present the following items to Demitrian:
- both left and right halves of the [Bindings of the Windseeker]
- [Essence of the Firelord] - a 100% drop, assuming one has the quest, from Ragnaros, final boss of Molten Core
- 10x [Elementium Bar] - each bar requires 1 [Elementium Ore] (from Blackwing Lair), 1 [Fiery Core], 10 [Arcanite Bar], and 3 [Elemental Flux].
Bring a raid with you when you return with the required items to Demitrian because he will summon Thunderaan, who promptly attacks you. Upon defeating Thunderaan, you receive a [Dormant Wind Kissed Blade]. Deliver this to (the now rather cowed) Highlord, and he will make Thunderfury for you.
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker is constantly used term as a conversation starter in trade chat. It is seen as annoying to most players as the term is more than often spammed.
Patch 2.0.10 (2007-03-06): The threat generated from the proc has been substantially reduced. The threat generation from a proc of Thunderfury was previously equivalent to that of approximately one application of Sunder Armor from a lvl 60 warrior.
The warrior ability Improved Thunder Clap offers the same 20% slow and will overwrite the Thunderfury debuff. The secondary nature resistance reduction debuff that is applied to the targets does not break crowd control effects, this generates approximately half an application of Sunder Armor from a lvl 60 warrior.
- Thunderfury still saw use in the Burning Crusade era, but has been easily outdated by current weapons. It is now considered a collector's item at best.
- Wowhead's info seems to be incorrect (doesn't match official Armory) as of Patch 4.0.6a.
Patch changes
- / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Item stats changed. +16-30 nature damage removed, physical damage increased from 44-115 to 82-153.
- Patch 3.1.1 (2009-04-21): The quest can be started by any class.
- Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): The quest can be started by Death Knights.
- Patch 2.0.10 (2007-03-06): The threat generated from the proc has been substantially reduced. The threat generation from a proc of Thunderfury was previously equivalent to that of approximately one application of Sunder Armor from a lvl 60 warrior.
- Patch 1.12.0 (22-Aug-2006): Thunderfury may be equipped in either hand.
- Patch 1.8.0 (10-Oct-2005): The Thunderfury effect's spell damage will no longer be increased by other item effects.
- Patch 1.6.0 (12-Jul-2005): Added.

Police are hoping surveillance video they released will solve a break-in of a popular Greenville eatery.
Greenville police say around 4:40 a.m. last Monday a burglar broke into Peaden's Grill on North Memorial Drive.
The video shows the man was wearing blue jeans, a dark shirt, gloves and a ski mask.
Police say the burglar used a tire tool and pried open a crash drawer in the office and got away with an undisclosed amount of money.
Anybody with information on this break-in should call Greenville police at 252-329-4356 or Pitt-Greenville CrimeStoppers at 252-758-7777.

2011 Greenbrier Classic champ Stallings searching for consistency
DUBLIN, Ohio - Three champions have been crowned at the Greenbrier Classic, and their differing career trajectories were on display this weekend on the Course That Jack Built.
Stuart Appleby, who fired the 59 that seized the inaugural tournament, wasn't here for this 120-man invitational. The affable Aussie is playing the PGA Tour full-time by using a career-earnings exemption; he is currently below the top 125 in the FedExCup points race. Again.
Ted Potter Jr., last year's Greenbrier winner, zipped off in a huff after finishing 6 over par for 36 holes. His season hasn't been a disaster, but he has missed seven of 15 cuts and owns just one top-10.
Scott Stallings, who won the 2011 Classic, is best positioned to have a nice career. As he showed Sunday with a final-round 67, it could be a very nice career.
Nobody was going to catch the perpetually solid Matt Kuchar, who stayed ahead Sunday and won by two strokes. Down seven strokes after a wacky third-round 75, Stallings was not a contender.
But after a string of six birdies in seven holes, the 28-year-old native of Oak Ridge, Tenn., was briefly a stroke back at 7 under par.
It was a flashback of sorts to the Sunday of the '11 Classic. Four bogeys on the front nine left his title chances for dead, but he ripped off six birdies on the back nine and repeated his 18th-hole birdie to beat Bill Haas and Bob Estes in a playoff.
Sunday at the Memorial, Stallings' rally stalled, as Kuchar birdied the fifth and dominated from there. Still, Stallings created some buzz around the course - his gallery grew and by the 14th, he was getting applause every time he walked onto the green.
He finished the back nine with an even-par 36, which was simultaneously disappointing and impressive.
Disappointing because he barely missed two birdie putts and bogeyed the 16th and 18th. Impressive because he didn't let the round get away like he has several times this year - that wind-whipped third round Saturday, for example.
"Not every day you make five birdies and an eagle and shoot 75," he said.
In a tournament where Tiger Woods suffered two triple bogeys and finished 65th, that was about as baffling. Stallings' good work was wiped out by three bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple on that 16th, perhaps the Tour's toughest par-3.
He has had other crazy weeks. He birdied the first five holes at the Players Championship, then suffered three double bogeys and a triple bogey to miss the cut by five shots.
He could have suffered a similar disaster on the par-5, 515-yard 15th, when he pulled his drive to the left and down an embankment. He couldn't do much better on the second shot but poking it into the right rough. He had 139 yards left into a green with an unforgiving hole placement in the front.
And he had a stance issue with a sprinkler head. He figured he had the right to seek relief, and asked for a rules official. I guess they had to truck the guy in from Toledo, for he took an eternity to get there.
Stallings was allowed that drop, and got a nice break when it rolled into the first cut of rough. He missed the green to the back left, but hit a difficult chip to 101/2 feet and dropped the par putt.
To get where he wants to go, he has to keep doing that. And he can't miss 8-foot putts on the 72nd hole - he lost nearly $87,000 with that little miscue.
He has made only seven of 16 cuts this year, further speaking to his inconsistency. But he has three fourth-place finishes, two in the last two events.
In 2012, he scored his second Tour victory, the TrueSouth Classic in Madison, Miss., and it gave him another shot of confidence to get through tough times.
"It was great," he said. "It gave you a sense of accomplishment knowing that, hey, this wasn't necessarily a fluke. It's tough to win out here - everybody that's in the top 10 is a shot or two from winning. You feel very fortunate every opportunity to be out here, every single day, and you never take anything for granted."
With that attitude and a propensity to rattle off a long string of birdies, he is as fun to watch as anybody. If he curbs his disastrous stretches, he'll have a fine career.
If he does that, remember where it all started.
Other items from the Memorial:
Alas, the two combined to go 17-over for the tournament.
Coincidentally or not, Phil Mickelson, who was driven to distraction and withdrawal by cellphone camera noise last year, did not play this week.
It makes me wonder: Was he camping out at Urban Meyer's house (near No. 7 green) in some strange attempt to score some recruiting info? Nothing would surprise me.

I knew someone would use the old "one off game" thing. Well we now have a much stronger squad backed by the use of Widnes players should we need them, so that pretty much negates that argument.
DKW I'm not knocking your team far from it. I hope you Cumbrian teams do stay up because you will bring more to the champ than some champ clubs. It was just when oracle was saying his team would and should beat x.y and z that's all. I was just letting him know it wouldn't be as easy as he thinks/ thought it will be.

He's a barrow fan I think,but hes deluded if he thinks any game in this league will be easy for any of us. Your reply wasnt to him though.
I appologise it was ment for him 😄😄😄
Posted 30 January 2013 - 12:08 PM
I do hope you stay up though because I wouldn't wish any team to be relegated into the league of oblivion.
That's not what you said on the Fev forum where you said you hoped Fev would throw games to get certain teams relegated ! Make your mind up.
Have you recently walked 500 miles ? Were you advised to walk 500 more ? Did you fall down at someone's door ?

That's not what you said on the Fev forum where you said you hoped Fev would throw games to get certain teams relegated ! Make your mind up.
If you read the post properly I said I want 2 feeder clubs to get relegated that's all I said I never mentioned any specific clubs. I would rather 2 feeder clubs go down than 2 who are standing on their own 2 feet and trying to build a successful club on their own.i don't wish relegation on any team ever not even the carpet carriers but 2 have to go down and I would rather it be a link up club than a club that as gone it solo.

Last season did you want clubs using Dual reg to stay up over clubs not using that system?
DKW I have nothing against the DR system if its used properly ie injuries. How ever I'm totally against the link ups but my gripe is more to do with the RFL than any club. The SL clubs get enough money as it is without scraping the under 23s etc. They continually waste money on imports etc. If the SL clubs can't survive when there is no relegation and a massive pay out from sky then they don't deserve to survive IMO. But I'm worried about our game and clubs that are not in the elite league with these link ups we all know its for the RFLs and SL clubs benefit and not for clubs like yourselves.

Community awareness, trust cited as factors in Black business and event success
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
With the African American community being relatively small in Minnesota, it can be challenging for Black business owners and those planning events targeted at Blacks to obtain the level of support they are seeking. But there are at least two events that continue to gain momentum each year. This year's Twin Cities Black Film Festival (TCBFF) appeared to be attended by many Blacks. "This festival was one of our most successful festivals, because I did try to tap into those unknown groups" such as community groups with large numbers of African American in attendance, reported TCBFF Founder-Director Natalie Morrow. She noted that during the four-day event held in September, one film was sold out and other screenings had large crowds. Continue Reading →

They are very similar, however there is a slight difference in nuance. げ implies a stronger sense of uncertainty compared to そう.
So, in your first example, you are not certain whether he wanted to say something or not, while in the second example, you are almost certain that he wants to say something.
Another example:
If you saw the person and noticed that they were laughing, smiling, etc. You are most likely to use version #1 and not version #2 because you are confident about your conjecture.
However, although in standard dialect there is the distinction I mentioned above, in some dialects (and in young people's slang) they do no make this distinction and げ is used commonly to mean そう.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A bill creating a separate approval and oversight board for taxpayer-funded charter schools in North Carolina has passed the state Senate.
The Republican bill passed Tuesday creates a new board to approve charters and determine whether they're meeting expectations. The State Board of Education, which currently has final approval, could veto a charter board action within 45 days if three quarters of members oppose it.
Supporters of the bill argue charter schools offer choice to parents and introduce needed competition to the system. Critics argue charters aren't a true choice for the most disadvantaged because they're not required to provide busing or other services.
A Democratic amendment requiring charter schools to provide busing and free-or-reduced-price lunches within five years failed.
The bill now heads to the House.

Working with many people on a big project can be though. Asana solves this problem for you. The startup founded by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and fellow-Facebooker Justin Rosenstein, develops collaborative task and project management software and managed to do what many others have unsuccessfully tried and spent millions of dollars on: They improved the way how people collaborate on projects and work in teams.
Contrary to other big group collaboration tools for enterprises, Asana is free and will stay free of charge. It reduces the amount of work you have to do in order to keep everyone on the same project status. The app makes it extremely easy to add new tasks to a project for example. Everything you have to do is simply typing in the text on a blank canvas and hitting return on your keyboard. After that you get the chance to assign this task to certain people, add notes, set a due date or attach a file. After that you and your assigned co-workers are able to comment on this task. This way you'll keep updated on the progress of your colleagues without having to bother them by asking about it.
Opposed to many other collaboration tools, Asana is purpose-built for the web and is very well structured so that you'll still be able to keep up with the developments of the projects if they grow and you have many comments under the various tasks. Your news feed will notify you, when a task you're involved with is completed, without someone needing to separately remember you by email. Working with Asana will decrease your email usage and save you a lot of time. Besides of that, it is actually quite fun to work with.
You'll find two videos with a quick tour trough Asana right here:

Found only in Britain and Ireland, the Imp is a magical creature often confused with the Pixie. They are of similar height, between six to eight inches, but that is where the physical similarities end. The Imp cannot fly like the Pixie, nor is it as brightly coloured.
Imps make their home in marshland, where they indulge their slapstick sense of humour by pushing and tripping the unwary. The Imp's diet consists mainly of insects. Imp breeding habits are like the Pixie's, but their young hatch full formed.
Behind the scenes
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, you encounter Imps within Ollivanders Wand Shop, where you must knock them out with the Knockback Jinx and throw them in a cage to trap them. You will have similar encounters with them in the remainder of the game and in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They also appear in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but instead of throwing them into a cage, they throw Wizard crackers, and you must kill them by throwing the Cracker back at them.

Carnarvon xeric shrublands
Monkey Mia, Western Australia Photograph by M. Brauwer
The Carnarvon xeric shrublands ecoregion in western Australia lies within the deserts and xeric shrubliands biome. Considered as a Critical/Endangered ecoregion, the land area of this unit approximates 34,900 square miles (89,500 square kilometres). There are approximately 600 kilometers of coastline along the Indian Ocean that form the western limit of the ecoregion, which as a whole is classified as a G200 area.
The Carnarvon is comprised of two sub-regions:-
- Wooramel sub-region in the south, a key part of which is the Shark Bay World Heritage Area
- Cape Range sub-region in the north
Location and General Description
The Carnarvon xeric shrublands is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west; from the Peron Peninsula in Shark Bay up to the North West Cape. The Pilbara shrublands lie to the northeast, the Western Australian Mulga shrublands to the east; and to the south the Southwest Australia savanna. The region is named after the coastal town of Carnarvon, and a number of coastal towns and tourist resorts lie within the Carnarvon xeric shrublands ecoregion.
The ecoregion's topography is chiefly low-lying, and the plantlife varies with the underlying geology, which is primarily comprised of recent alluvial, aeolian, and marine sediments over cretaceous strata. This ecoregion is extremely arid, claiming less than 250 millimetres of total precipitation per annum..
The Carnarvon is also referred to physiographically as part of the Carnarvon Basin, essentially a physiographic province of the larger West Australian Shield division.
Cape Range sub-region
The Cape Range itself is the outcome of gradual uplifting from the sea floor accompanied by fluctuating sea levels, wind and water erosion which processes have slowly eroded the range and plain leaving a residual range of rugged limestone, deep canyons and unspoiled coastal backshores.
Sturt's desert pea is found in the Carnarvon ecoregion and beyond. Fir0002/Flagstaffotos The Cape Range s the only elevated plateau consisting of limestone on the entire northwestern coast of Australia. The montain range exhibits plateaus attaining elevations of up to 315 meters; moreover, this montane area is the geomorphic backbone of the whole peninsula, and it extends are far as North West Cape.
A portion of the Cape Range is protected as the Cape Range National Park; within the National Park flows Yardie Creek, a scenic gorge where the watercourse is dammed by a permanent sandbar. Within the Cape Range National Park are over 700 karst caves; moreover, in excess of 630 herbaceous plant species have been recorded in the park, including the Sturt's desert pea (Swainsona formosa) and the the green birdflower (Crotalaria cunninghamii).
Wooramel sub-region
The Wooramel sub-region features its crown jewel, the Shark Bay World Heritage Site, a locus of great significance for its claim to the largest seagrass expanse in the world. Marine resources here include a notable population of dugongs (Dugong dugon). Shark Bay also exhibits a remarkable occurrence of stromatolltes, coastal limestone deposits formed by cyanobacteria colonies that have been trapping sediment for thousands of years to gradually build these rocklike formations.
Biodiversity features
Leporillus apicalis, critically endangered mammal, whose last refuge may be in the Carnarvon eoregion. Source: John Gould, F.R.S., Mammals of Australia Covering the saline alluvial plains are chiefly low samphire and saltbush shrublands, with snakewood scrublands upon the clay flats; Bowgada low woodland covers sandy ridges and plains, red sand dune fields are interspersed or overlain with tree to shrub steppe over hummock grasslands, and Acacia startii-A. bivenosa shrublands cover limestone outcrops at the north. Other tree species in the ecoregion include limestone wattle (Acacia sclerosperma) with an undergrowth of dead finish (Acacia tetragonophylla). The sheltered embayments and expansive tidal flats along the coastal zone support mangroves.
Fauna of the ecoregion include birds such as the Thick-billed grasswren (Amytornis textilis) and the Australian endemic red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii). This locale is thought to be the sole possible habitat for a surviving population of the lesser stick-nest rat, which is otherwise potentially extinct. If this small mammal still survives, the most likely habitat may be one of the unexplored karstic caves of the eoregion.
Human population
There are only about 10,000 people resident in this ecoregion, most of whom are aborigines. The Carnarvon makes up most of the land area of the Gascoyne, which is one of the nine administrative divisions of West Australia.
Current status
The Carnarvon xeric shrublands ecoregion is deemed to be a Critical/Endangered ecoregion.
Type and severity of threats
Threats to the ecoregion include overgrazing as well as oil and gas resource development, the latter of which could eventually bring an expanded human population to the ecoregion.
Justification of ecoregion delineation
The Carnarvon Xeric Shrublands ecoregion comprises the Carnavon unit within the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia, known as IBRA. (Thackway and Cresswell 1995).

156: Commented
Title text: Your IDE's color may vary.
[edit] Explanation
In certain programming languages (including but not limited to C (since C99), C++, C#, Java, Javascript, PHP, and Scala), inserting a double slash (//) in a line marks everything after the double slash in the line as a "comment"; i.e. something for humans to read that generally helps them understand the code better, rather than something for the computer to execute. Since all comment lines are ignored when a program is run or compiled, it is possible to simply put a double slash in front of any line of code to skip that line. This is known as "commenting out" the line.
Black Hat lifts two fingers toward Cueball, forming a double slash and thereby ignoring both him and his question.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE for short) is an application that programmers use to write, compile, execute, and debug code. Many IDEs color-code text to make reading the code easier. In IDEs like Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio, a line that is commented out will be colored green, however the color may vary depending on which IDE you use, and can usually also be customized. The title text refers to this variation among IDEs' color schemes.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball and Black Hat are talking to each other, and Black Hat is making a gesture towards Cueball.]
- Cueball: Hey, can you do me a favor?
- Black Hat: Commented!
- [The same frame from a different angle.]
- Cueball: Huh?
- [Black Hat is holding his first and second fingers parallel and at an angle, and they are green. Cueball and his next line are also green.]
- Cueball: Wait, what does that gesture even mean?

In the first two panels, it looks like he's flicking the guy off. It's not until the third panel that we actually see the subversion. I'm reasonably certain that this is intentional. 18.104.22.168 02:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
In QtCreator, comments are dark blue. Kaa-ching (talk) 08:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I'm surprised that no-one has picked up on the fact that the text that is being commented out is multiple lines, but there is only one double slash, therefore only one of the lines can be commented out. For both to be commented, you'd need /* ... */ --220.127.116.11 09:03, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
The title text may also be a reference to the "Your milage may vary." commonly found in the fine print in car commercials. 18.104.22.168 22:28, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
I believe he's commenting out Cueball entirely, thus ignoring him and therefore any and all statements he may make. Notice in the last panel that it's not Cueball's question alone that is color-coded, but Cueball as well. 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I also interpreted it as Black Hat explicitly painting his fingers green in order to utilize the comment power of the double slashes as opposed to them turning green due to the gesture.Flewk (talk) 10:52, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Investigators said the victim of an overnight stabbing is reluctant to tell them much about what happened.
Deputies in Beaufort County said a woman is expected to survive after she was cut in the Pantego area last night.
While her name and where it happened has not yet been released, investigators told WITN the victim is, "uncooperative and refuses to give details about the incident."
Deputies added there is not an apparent community threat at this point in their investigation.
The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office says a woman is expected to survive after she was cut in the Pantego area last night.
Her name and where it happened has not been released, but we'll keep you posted.

Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma Treatment
General Information About Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in muscle tissue.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of sarcoma. Sarcoma is cancer of soft tissue (such as muscle), connective tissue (such as tendon or cartilage), or bone. Rhabdomyosarcoma usually begins in muscles that are attached to bones and that help the body move. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. It can begin in many places in the body.
There are three main types of rhabdomyosarcoma:
- Embryonal: This type occurs most often in the head and neck area or in the genital or urinary organs. It is the most common type.
- Alveolar: This type occurs most often in the arms or legs, chest, abdomen, genital organs, or anal area. It usually occurs during the teen years.
- Anaplastic: This type rarely occurs in children.
See the following PDQ treatment summaries for more information about soft tissue sarcomas:
- Childhood Soft Tissue Sarcoma
- Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Certain genetic conditions increase the risk of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma.
Anything that increases the risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your child's doctor if you think your child may be at risk. Risk factors for rhabdomyosarcoma include having the following inherited diseases:
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
- Pleuropulmonary blastoma.
- Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
- Costello syndrome.
- Noonan syndrome.
Children who had a high birth weight or were larger than expected at birth may have an increased risk of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
In most cases, the cause of rhabdomyosarcoma is not known.
A possible sign of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is a lump or swelling that keeps getting bigger.
Lumps and other symptoms may be caused by childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. The symptoms that occur depend on where the cancer forms. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Check with a doctor if your child has any of the following problems:
- A lump or swelling that keeps getting bigger or does not go away. It may be painful.
- Bulging of the eye.
- Headache.
- Trouble urinating or having bowel movements.
- Blood in the urine.
- Bleeding in the nose, throat, vagina, or rectum.
Tests that examine the area where symptoms have occurred are used to detect (find) and diagnose childhood rhabdomyosarcoma.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
- Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
- X-ray: An x-ray of the organs and bones inside the body. An x-ray is a type of energy beam that can go through the body and onto film, making a picture of areas inside the body.
- CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, such as the abdomen or pelvis, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): A procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. This procedure is also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI).
- Bone scan: A procedure to check if there are rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, in the bone. A very small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein and travels through the bloodstream. The radioactive material collects in the bones and is detected by a scanner.
- Ultrasound exam: A procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram.
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone. Samples are removed from both hipbones. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for signs of cancer.
- Lumbar puncture: A procedure used to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal column to check for cancer cells. This is done by placing a needle between two bones in the spine and into the spinal column to remove a sample of CSF. This procedure is also called an LP or spinal tap.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy: The removal of the sentinel lymph node during surgery. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to receive lymphatic drainage from a tumor. It is the first lymph node the cancer is likely to spread to from the tumor. A radioactive substance and/or blue dye is injected near the tumor. The substance or dye flows through the lymph ducts to the lymph nodes. The first lymph node to receive the substance or dye is removed. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. If cancer cells are not found, it may not be necessary to remove more lymph nodes. A sentinel lymph node biopsy is done to check whether rhabdomyosarcoma of the arms or legs has spread to the lymph nodes.
Biopsy: The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. The biopsy is done after imaging tests are done. If rhabdomyosarcoma is found, the pathologist will find out what type it is. Because treatment depends on the type of rhabdomyosarcoma, biopsy samples should be checked by a pathologist who has experience in diagnosing rhabdomyosarcoma. The following tests may be done on the sample of tissue that is removed:
- Light and electron microscopy: A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of tissue are viewed under regular and high-powered microscopes to look for certain changes in the cells.
- Immunohistochemistry study: A laboratory test in which a substance such as an antibody, dye, or radioisotope is added to a sample of cancer tissue to test for certain antigens. This type of study is used to tell the difference between different types of cancer.
- Cytogeneticanalysis: A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of tissue are viewed under a microscope to look for certain changes in the chromosomes.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
- Where in the body the tumor started.
- The width of the tumor when the cancer was diagnosed.
- Whether the tumor has been completely removed by surgery.
- Whether the tumor has spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant parts of the body.
- Whether there are certain changes in the genes.
- The type of rhabdomyosarcoma.
- The patient's age and general health.
- Whether the tumor has just been diagnosed or has recurred (come back).
For patients with recurrent cancer, prognosis and treatment depend on the following:
- Where in the body the tumor recurred (came back).
- Whether the tumor was treated with radiation therapy.
- The size of the tumor when the cancer was diagnosed.
- How much time passed between the end of cancer treatment and when the cancer recurred.
Stages of Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
After childhood rhabdomyosarcoma has been diagnosed, treatment is based on the stage of the cancer and whether all the cancer was removed by surgery.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the tissue or to other parts of the body is called staging. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. The doctor will use results of the diagnostic tests to help find out the stage of the disease.
Treatment for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is based on the stage and the amount of cancer that remains after surgery to remove the tumor. The pathologist will use a microscope to check the tissues, including lymph nodes, removed during surgery, and the edges of the areas where the cancer was removed. This is done to see if all the cancer cells were taken out during the surgery.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
- Through tissue. Cancer invades the surrounding normal tissue.
- Through the lymph system. Cancer invades the lymph system and travels through the lymph vessels to other places in the body.
- Through the blood. Cancer invades the veins and capillaries and travels through the blood to other places in the body.
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
Staging of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is done in three parts.
Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is staged by using three different ways to describe the cancer:
- A staging system.
- A grouping system.
- A risk group.
The staging system is based on the size of the tumor, where it is in the body, and whether it has spread to other parts of the body:
Stage 1
In stage 1, the tumor is any size, has not spread to lymph nodes, and is found in only one of the following "favorable" sites:
- Eye or area around the eye.
- Head and neck (but not in the tissue next to the brain and spinal cord).
- Gallbladder and bile ducts.
- In the testes, vagina, or uterus.
Rhabdomyosarcoma that forms in a "favorable" site has a better prognosis. If the site where cancer occurs is not one of the favorable sites listed above, it is said to be an "unfavorable" site.
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
Stage 2
In stage 2, cancer is found in an "unfavorable" site (any one area not included in stage 1). The tumor is no larger than 5 centimeters and has not spread to lymph nodes.
Stage 3
In stage 3, cancer is found in an "unfavorable" site (any one area not included in stage 1) and one of the following is true:
- The tumor is no larger than 5 centimeters and cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- The tumor is larger than 5 centimeters and cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Stage 4
In stage 4, the tumor may be any size and cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. Cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, such as the lung, bone marrow, or bone.
The grouping system is based on whether the cancer has spread and whether all the cancer was removed by surgery:
Group I
Cancer was found only in the place where it started and it was completely removed by surgery. Tissue was taken from the edges of where the tumor was removed. The tissue was checked under a microscope by a pathologist and no cancer cells were found.
Group II
Group II is divided into groups IIA, IIB, and IIC.
- IIA: Cancer was removed by surgery but cancer cells were seen when the tissue, taken from the edges of where the tumor was removed, was viewed under a microscope by a pathologist.
- IIB: Cancer had spread to nearby lymph nodes and the cancer and lymph nodes were removed by surgery.
- IIC: Cancer had spread to nearby lymph nodes and the cancer and lymph nodes were removed by surgery. Tissue was taken from the edges of where the tumor was removed. The tissue was checked under a microscope by a pathologist and cancer cells were seen.
Group III
Cancer was partly removed by biopsy or surgery but there is tumor remaining that can be seen with the eye. Cancer has not spread to distant parts of the body.
Group IV
Cancer had spread to distant parts of the body when the cancer was diagnosed.
- Cancer cells are found by an imaging test; and
- there are cancer cells in the fluid around the brain, spinal cord, or lungs, or in fluid in the abdomen; or tumors are found in those areas.
The risk group is based on the staging system and the grouping system.
The risk group describes the chance that rhabdomyosarcoma will recur (come back). Every child treated for rhabdomyosarcoma should receive chemotherapy to decrease the chance cancer will recur. The type of chemotherapy agent, dose, and the number of treatments given depends on whether the child has low-risk, intermediate-risk, or high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma. The following risk groups are used:
Low-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma
Low-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is one of the following:
- An embryonal tumor of any size that is found in a "favorable" site. There may be tumor remaining after surgery that can be seen without a microscope. The cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. The following areas are "favorable" sites:
- Eye or area around the eye.
- Head or neck (but not in the tissue next to the brain and spinal cord).
- Gallbladder and bile ducts.
- In the testes, vagina, or uterus.
- An embryonal tumor of any size that is not found in one of the "favorable" sites listed above. There may be tumor remaining after surgery that can be seen only with a microscope. The cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Intermediate-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma
Intermediate-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is one of the following:
- An embryonal tumor of any size that is not found in one of the "favorable" sites listed above. There is tumor remaining after surgery, that can be seen with or without a microscope. The cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- An alveolar tumor of any size in a "favorable" or "unfavorable" site. There may be tumor remaining after surgery that can be seen with or without a microscope. The cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
High-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma
High-risk childhood rhabdomyosarcoma may be the embryonal type or the alveolar type. It may have spread to nearby lymph nodes and has spread to one or more distant parts of the body.
Recurrent Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
Recurrent childhood rhabdomyosarcoma is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the same place or in other parts of the body.
Treatment Option Overview
There are different types of treatment for patients with childhood rhabdomyosarcoma.
Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Because cancer in children is rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Children with rhabdomyosarcoma should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating cancer in children.
Because rhabdomyosarcoma can form in many different parts of the body, many different kinds of treatments are used. Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer. The pediatric oncologist works with other health care providers who are experts in treating children with rhabdomyosarcoma and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include the following specialists:
- Pediatric surgeon.
- Radiation oncologist.
- Pediatric hematologist.
- Pediatric nurse specialist.
- Geneticist or cancer genetics risk counselor.
- Social worker.
- Rehabilitation specialist.
- Psychologist.
Some cancer treatments cause side effects months or years after treatment has ended.
Side effects from cancer treatment that begin during or after treatment and continue for months or years are called late effects. Late effects of cancer treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma may include:
- Physical problems.
- Changes in mood, feelings, thinking, learning, or memory.
- Second cancers (new types of cancer).
Some late effects may be treated or controlled. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about the effects cancer treatment can have on your child. (See the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for more information.)
Three types of standard treatment are used:
Surgery (removing the cancer in an operation) is used to treat childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. A type of surgery called wide local excision is often done. A wide local excision is the removal of tumor and some of the tissue around it, including the lymph nodes. A second surgery may be needed to remove all the cancer. Whether surgery is done and the type of surgery done depends on the following:
- Where in the body the tumor started.
- The effect the surgery will have on the way the child will look.
- The effect the surgery will have on the child's important body functions.
- How the tumor responded to chemotherapy or radiation therapy that may have been given first.
In most children with rhabdomyosarcoma, it is not possible to remove all of the tumor by surgery.
Rhabdomyosarcoma can form in many different places in the body and the surgery will be different for each site. Surgery to treat rhabdomyosarcoma of the eye or genital areas is usually a biopsy. Chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy, may be given before surgery to shrink large tumors.
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, patients will be given chemotherapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Radiation therapy may also be given. Treatment given after the surgery to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy.
External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Certain ways of giving radiation therapy can help keep radiation from damaging healthy tissue. These types of external radiation therapy include the following:
- Conformal radiation uses a computer to create a 3-dimensional (3-D) picture of the tumor. The radiation beams are shaped to fit the tumor.
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses images created by a computer that show the size and shape of the tumor. Thin beams of radiation of different strengths are aimed at the tumor from many angles.
- Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy uses a rigid head frame attached to the skull to aim radiation directly to a tumor. This causes less damage to nearby healthy tissue. The total dose of radiation is divided into several small doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy may be used for rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck. This procedure is also called stereotactic external-beam radiation therapy and stereotaxic radiation therapy.
- Proton-beam therapy is a type of high-energy, external radiation therapy that uses streams of protons (small, positively-charged particles of matter) to kill tumor cells.
Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. Internal radiation therapy is used to treat cancer in areas such as the vagina, vulva, bladder, prostate, head, or neck.
The type and amount of radiation therapy and when it is given depends on the age of the child, the type of rhabdomyosarcoma, where in the body the tumor started, how much tumor remained after surgery, and whether there is tumor in the nearby lymph nodes.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). Combination chemotherapy is treatment using more than one anticancer drug. The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Every child treated for rhabdomyosarcoma should receive chemotherapy to decrease the chance the cancer will recur. The type of chemotherapy agent, dose, and the number of treatments given depends on whether the child has low-risk, intermediate-risk, or high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma.
See Drugs Approved for Rhabdomyosarcoma for more information.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant
High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant is a way of giving high doses of chemotherapy and replacing blood -forming cells destroyed by the cancer treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
Immunotherapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biologic therapy or biotherapy.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells. Targeted therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors is being studied to treat childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. Angiogenesis inhibitors keep blood vessels from forming in a tumor. This causes the tumor to starve and stop growing or to shrink. Monoclonal antibodies and kinase inhibitors are two types of antiangiogenic agents used in clinical trials for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma.
Monoclonal antibody therapy uses antibodies made in the laboratory, from a single type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances that may help cancer cells grow. The antibodies attach to the substances and kill the cancer cells, block their growth, or keep them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion. They may be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive material directly to cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies used in clinical trials for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma attach to and block substances that cause new blood vessels to form in tumors. Monoclonal antibodies may be used with chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy.
Kinase inhibitors stop cells from dividing and may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your child's condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Treatment Options for Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your child's doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for your child.
Previously Untreated Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
The treatment of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma often includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The order that these treatments are given depends on where in the body the tumor started, the size of the tumor, the type of tumor, and whether the tumor has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. See the Treatment Option Overview section of this summary for more information about surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy used to treat children with rhabdomyosarcoma.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the brain and head and neck
- For tumors of the brain: Treatment may include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
- For tumors of the head and neck that are in or near the eye: Treatment may include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If the tumor remains or comes back after treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, surgery to remove the eye and some tissues around the eye may be needed.
- For tumors of the head and neck that are near the brain and spinal cord but not in or near the eye: Treatment may include radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
- For tumors of the head and neck that cannot be removed by surgery: Treatment may include chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
- For tumors of the larynx (voice box): Treatment may include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Surgery to remove the larynx is usually not done, so that the voice is not harmed.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the arms or legs
- Surgery to remove the tumor. If the tumor was not completely removed, a second surgery to remove the tumor may be done.
- For tumors of the hand or foot, radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be given. The tumor may not be removed because the function of the hand or foot would be lessened.
- Lymph node dissection (one or more lymph nodes are removed and a sample of tissue is checked under a microscope for signs of cancer).
- For tumors in the arms, lymph nodes near the tumor and in the armpit area are removed.
- For tumors in the legs, lymph nodes near the tumor and in the groin area are removed.
- Chemotherapy.
- Radiation therapy.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest, abdomen, or pelvis
- For tumors in the chest or abdomen (including the chest wall or abdominal wall): Surgery (wide local excision) may be done. If the tumor is large, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy, is given to shrink the tumor before surgery.
- For tumors of the pelvis: Surgery (wide local excision) may be done. If the tumor is large, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy, is given to shrink the tumor before surgery. Some pelvic tumors may be treated with biopsy, rather than wide local excision, followed by radiation therapy.
- For tumors of the diaphragm: A biopsy of the tumor is followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the tumor. Surgery may be done later to remove any remaining cancer cells.
- For tumors of the gallbladder or bile ducts: Surgery is done to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
- For tumors of the muscles or tissues around the anus or between the vulva and the anus or the scrotum and the anus: Surgery is done to remove as much of the tumor as possible and some nearby lymph nodes, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the kidney
- Surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder and prostate
- For tumors that are only at the top of the bladder: Surgery (wide local excision) is done.
- For tumors of the prostate or bladder (other than the top of the bladder):
- Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given first to shrink the tumor. If cancer cells remain after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the tumor is removed by surgery. Surgery may include removal of the prostate, part of the bladder, or pelvic exenteration without removal of the rectum. (This may include removal of the lower colon and bladder. In girls, the cervix, vagina, ovaries, and nearby lymph nodes may be removed).
- Chemotherapy is given first to shrink the tumor. Surgery to remove the tumor, but not the bladder or prostate, is done. Internal radiation therapy is given after surgery.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the area near the testicles
- Rhabdomyosarcoma of the testicular area is usually treated with surgery to remove the testicle and spermatic cord.
- The lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen may be checked for cancer, especially if the lymph nodes are enlarged or the child is older than 9 years. Radiation therapy may be given if the tumor cannot be completely removed by surgery. CT scans may be done every 3 months after surgery to see if the cancer is growing in nearby lymph nodes.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the vulva, vagina, uterus or ovary
- For tumors of the vulva and vagina: Treatment may include chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove the tumor. Internal or external radiation therapy may be given after surgery.
- For tumors of the uterus: Treatment may include chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Sometimes surgery may be needed to remove any remaining cancer cells.
- For tumors of the cervix: Treatment may include chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove any remaining tumor.
- For tumors of the ovary: Treatment may include combination chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove any remaining tumor.
Metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma
- Radiation therapy may be given for tumors that have spread to the brain, spinal cord, or lungs.
Treatment is also given to the site where the tumor first formed.
Some of the treatments being studied for rhabdomyosarcoma include the following:
- A clinical trial of a new schedule of combination chemotherapy with radiation therapy.
- A clinical trial of new combinations of anticancer drugs, with and without targeted therapy (monoclonal antibody).
- A clinical trial of immunotherapy.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with previously untreated childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Recurrent Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma
Treatment options for recurrent childhood rhabdomyosarcoma are based on many factors, including where in the body the cancer has come back, what type of treatment the patient had before, and the needs of the individual child. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
- Chemotherapy with one or more anticancer agents.
- Surgery.
- Radiation therapy.
- A clinical trial of new anticancer drugs.
- A clinical trial of targeted therapy.
- A clinical trial of combination chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
- A clinical trial of high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplant using the patient's own stem cells.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent childhood rhabdomyosarcoma. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." In the United States, about two-thirds of children with cancer are treated in a clinical trial at some point in their illness.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. For additional help in locating a childhood cancer clinical trial, call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
The PDQ database contains listings of groups specializing in clinical trials.
The Children's Oncology Group (COG) is the major group that organizes clinical trials for childhood cancers in the United States. Information about contacting COG is available on the NCI Web site or from the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – You could say Parkview Field went to the dogs Sunday afternoon with the first ever Bark in the Park.
For $12, a limited number of dogs were allow in and filled the lawn seats at the ball park. A portion of the pooch passes was donated to the Allen County SPCA to help continue their work in providing shelter to cats and dogs.
TinCap fans we talked to say it was a great idea to share America's favorite past time with their four legged friends.
"I think the best part of this is the animals that have been adopted from the Allen County SPCA back here today as alumni. They are behaving great, they are enjoying company. I think it is great for Fort Wayne to be a more pet friendly city, and have more events like this. So, we are thankful to the TinCaps, thankful to the Petco Foundation, and thankful for everyone that supports the Allen County SPCA today," said Jessica Henry with the SPCA.
Space was limited to 150 dogs, and before being admitted to the park, owners had to present an up-to-date vaccination and shot record, as well as sign a waiver form.

President Jakaya Kikwete yesterday nominated three members of Parliament as Tanzanians anxiously await the announcement of the cabinet line-up.
An official statement issued by the State House in Dar es Salaam, said the president made the nominations under Article 66 (1) (e) of the country's Constitution of 1977 as amended which empowers him to nominate ten members of Parliament.
Those nominated included former Finance and Economic Affairs Minister, Zakia Hamdani Meghji, the former Zanzibar Chief Minister, Shamsi Vuai Nahodha and Prof Makame Mnyaa Mbarawa.
"The President will announce other Members of Parliament in days to come," according to the State House statement.
Names of the nominated MPs, according to the statement, have been submitted to Speaker of the National Assembly Anne Makinda, for other necessary procedures.
Zakia Hamdani Meghji has been in politics since 1985, and served in many posts, including district and regional commissioner, head of Economic and Social Affairs Department at the Secretariat of CCM.
Born in Zanzibar, Meghji who is a teacher by profession served as minister of Natural Resources and Tourism and Finance and Economic Affairs between 2000 and 2008.
She once served as the President of the Africa Travel Association, where she introduced several highly important and timely initiatives in terms of developing the tourism sector, sponsored promotional tours of the USA, and introduced a Tourism Awards programme.
The former Zanzibar Chief Minister, Shamsi Vuai Nahodha was born on November 20, 1962. He holds a diploma in languages from the Institute of Kiswahili and Foreign Languages in Zanzibar.
He speaks fluent French, a language he studied at Bujumbura University after graduating with a bachelor's degree from the University of Dar es Salaam in 1987. He received his master's degree from the Open University of Tanzania in 2008.
In 2000 he was elected Mwera Representative before being appointed Chief Minister in the same year. In 2005, he was elected the Representative for Mwanakwerekwe constituency and President Karume retained him as the Chief Minister. This year, he contested for the Isles presidency and was one of the three finalists for the post.

- 75% less energy and less heat than incandescent
- Lasts up to 10 times longer
- Used anywhere a medium-base bulb goes
- Can take several minutes for full brightness
- Offers more light per watt than incandescents
- If properly cared for, these outlast incandescents
- Can be costly for initial purchase
- Can be used with dimmers
- Emits a significant amount of heat
Light-emitting Diode (LED)
- Uses less wattage than any other bulb type
- Saves energy and money
- Manufacturers claim their bulbs can last as long as 25,000 hours

- Mercury-free
Watts Versus Lumens
Measurement of energy used by a light bulb.
Measurement of the total visible light emitted by a light bulb.
How Much Light Do I Need?
Use these formulas to see how many bulbs you may need on a chandelier. For instance, if you need 800 watts and each bulb is 60 watts, then you would need a chandelier with approximately with 10 to 15 light bulbs.
Ambient or General Lighting
Width of Room (feet) x Length of Room (feet) x 1.5= Total Number of Watts Needed
Dining room width is 11 feet with a length of 13 feet
11 x 13 x 1.5 = 214.3 watts
Width of Room (feet) x Length of Room (feet) x 2.5= Total Number of Watts Needed
Kitchen width is 16 feet with a length of 20 feet
16 x 20 x 2.5 = 800 watts
- Most incandescent bulbs are dimmable
- CFL bulbs have dimmable options
- LED bulbs now have dimmable bulbs available
