The Global Leadership Forum for Cancer Control (GoPublic) took place September 23-26 in Ottawa, Canada. The event, presented by the Canadian Campaign to Control Cancer (C2CC), focused on public engagement in cancer control and best practices in the field. Cristina Parsons Perez, PhD, manager, Latin America Cancer Initiatives, American Cancer Society, together with Jeff Rushton of Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation co-chaired the steering committee for the forum. Johanna Ralston, vice president, Global Strategies and managing director, International Affairs, American Cancer Society, delivered a presentation on the Society’s global workplace initiative work and led a workshop on the subject. Parsons Perez also gave a presentation on the Society’s international work as part of the forum’s opening plenary. The GoPublic forum included high-profile speakers including: Elizabeth Edwards, cancer survivor and health advocate; Stephen Lewis, former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa; and Steve Hildebrand, who was deputy campaign manager for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign). Suzanne Steffens of Duke University reported on the Community Conversations that preceded the GoPublic forum, which was an effort to engage people around the world in an online dialogue about global cancer control. The American Cancer Society contributed to Community Conversations by hosting its own conversation via its American Cancer Society Global Facebook page and its Global Fight Against Cancer blog (see March 2, 2009, blog entry).

I receive skin caencr screenings every 6 months now and do not hesitate to act if a suspicious area appears in the meantime that maybe Actinic keratosis.I am very grateful that Obagi NuDerm revealed not only beautiful healthy skin cells but also brought attention to not so healthy skin cells that needed medical attention. The first spot which appeared on my upper lip has been the hardest one to eliminate, I hope only because I was slow to respond to a peeling area on my upper lip when my whole face was going through the peeling and flaking duirng the 16 week NuDerm regimen. That's somewhat understandable, who knew?It was after all the peeling and flaking was over with the exception of that one spot which would heal and flake off only to reappear again. That should have given me a clue and I am not the dense, I just did not suspect anything.The affected area was about the diameter of a dime.This went on for approximately one year and then a red, crusty area appeared on the right temple area and a small red spot on my forehead. when these appeared I knew I needed to go to the dermatologist.That was a few years back and I have returned to Obagi NuDerm, now inNuDerm and ZO Skin Health maintenance and love it including mandatory sunscreen! Also, six month skin caencr screenings!Thank you, Dr. Zein Obagi!
