GOING THE DISTANCE WITH BREAST CANCER:

Sometimes it's easy to get frustrated when improvements in care and research results are slow to materialize. Yet if we look back over time, we can see that some great things have happened in breast cancer treatment. Consider this:

• For decades, the standard of care for breast cancer was a total radical mastectomy: removal of the breast, all lymph nodes, and the chest muscles. This was very debilitating surgery. Today, more than 80 percent of women are candidates for lumpectomy surgery and most are candidates for sentinel node biopsy, two procedures with far less impact on how a patient's breasts look and how quickly she rebounds from surgery.

HIV and AIDS CAMPAIGN(WAC):

This VISION is of a global movement bringing renewed impetus and resolve to the fight against the epidemic. We believe that the "business as usual" approach to campaigning on AIDS should be a thing of the past. We now see many more partners joining the AIDS response, a redoubling of existing efforts and our policymakers beginning to act on their commitments on AIDS.

The GOAL of the World AIDS Campaign (WAC) is to energize and support an effective and sustained response to the HIV pandemic. By helping partners work together at national and international levels, we will broaden the partnership among those shaping the response to AIDS. Crucial to our success will be increased public awareness of past policy commitments and promises on AIDS, including the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS. On these promises we will hold our governments accountable.
