Salivary Gland in the Sky

As MCA’s parotid gland takes the Beastie Boys catalog to the other side, we are left to wonder about this extremely rare form of cancer that took musician, rapper, father and Buddhist activist Adam Yauch’s life so early. According to the American Cancer Society, only about 2 in 100,000 adults are diagnosed with salivary gland cancer each year. Because it is so rare, not much is known about what causes it or how to treat it, aside from the standard chemo treatment, but is is known to recur, invading the lymph nodes, and sometimes bones and lungs. The parotid gland is the largest salivary glands, which help break down food in preparation for digestion. The cancerous gland was discovered when Yauch felt an unusual lump on his throat. Our hearts go out to his wife, his daughter, and of course the Beastie Boys and their fans.

It’s impossible to thank our mommies enough for all they have done for us. She let you occupy her uterus, wiped your butt when you couldn’t, gave you kisses when you got boo-boos and she still gives you free sympathy while you whine and complain. So how will you show mom you love her? Let us know:

Some of the great anatomy-themed sights from the 2nd annual USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. There was so much to see and do, impossible to do it all, especially with a gutsy booth to run, but we hope you had fun! Thanks to everyone who came out to say hi, it was a pleasure!

The Big Test

Did you know most men would rather take out the trash, floss their teeth and scrub dishes than schedule prostate exam? Good news, gents, looks like your prostate can stop studying because more and more experts think prostate screening is actually useless unless you have a history of cancer in your family. While the issue is still subject to debate, it’s never a bad idea to keep your prostate on its toes with some pop quizzes every now and again.
