That was the statement alisher back made back in march when he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer now the jeopardy show host says that he has made mind boggling improvements during his treatments, the 78 yearold revealed in people magazine. Some of his tumors have shrunk by more than 50 that is incredible according to doctors he has been responding well to chemotherapy. And is near remission drawbacks. Eddie got emotional at the news that he could be beating the odds. He said e had so we can depressed on occasion since beginning chemo but credit says progress to support from his fans and friends i to talk about this astonishing news today is doctor joe cohen who is in and call on colleges with marine General Hospital thank you shania i think everybody felt. Excited about this news for this and the so many people care about that just the fact that he had such a serious diagnosis are you surprisep. Well its its certainly wonderful news to a go from that terrible diagnosis to a near complete remission that its wonderful news, i dont. I think all of the hurdles are behind them. But the certainly a good start to talk about he said the deathdefying i mean. A lot of people when they get this news stage 4 pancreatic cancer to death sentence one of the odd said you survive it and what how do you think hes beating the odds. What we had to say 0, 4 hits a the odds of a 0 but lets just say there. As close to 0 as as you can be. The the goal of treatment here is not really expected to be a cure. But its expected to. Get this cancer into a full will last not just months but perhaps in some cases that remission can last years and as we tell a lot of patience with this. You know very grim initial diagnosis and prognosis. The hope is and what i was trying to have hope that remission will be durable and that we will then have time to find a better treatment. What do you think that for people who have this diagnosis or even other cancers. He talks so much about how his spirits were boyd by all of this fans and the love and support a lot of people think that that it can also be a Tipping Point far a lot of people when theyre going through difficult challenges like this to agree. Yeah there is Scientific Evidence that support system is important that. In Cancer Treatment and successful Cancer Treatment so it certainly may be contributing to his success. Well we all dont have a national tv audience. Its written for us when we get sick so in other peoples cases when theyre facing cancer is there anything besides at that has been done with alex trebeks that other people might benefit from. I knew i dont know i mean obviously has got millions of which most of us dont but you havent heard about a unique treatment said hes undergone that anybody else would been able to get to its own last. I would say its almost certain that he is receiving the standard treatment. Advanced pancreas cancer, which is for somebody whos in good shape. And he certainly looks to be like in very good shape for a tall man of his age. The standard treatment would be a threedrug chemotherapy cocktail its not easy treatment. There are a lot of side effects. But is its that treatment that hows about a 30 to 35 chance of getting you into a remission or use that word remission which is when cancer becomes eithe or undetectable. And again then the hope is that that remission can be durable and last for quite a long time. Lets hope his diagnosis and prognosis and whatever is happening with him will you know turn out to be an issue that will help others as well and real quick before you go whats the best way to. Do an early check to because early diagnosis is key right so is there anything people should know to make sure that they are are not getting cancer yet we have that we have screening for for many types of common cancer Breast Cancer Prostate Cancer colon cancer. All of those screenings have been shown to reduce mortality from those types of cancers. Unfortunately we dont have a Cost Effective screening for pancreatic cancer. And we dont have. We dont have a high risk population that we would be screaming neither the vast majority of pancreatic cancers are sporadic meaning you have no predisposition to it and it comes out of the blue.
