ther, a faithful husband; a gentle, kind-

ways had a word of encouragement.

events, open to the public, are held

events, presented by The University
of Texas at San Antonio and cospon-
sored by the Institute of Texan Cul-

Ultrasound tested as treatment for prostate cancer
Houston—An alternative to sur-
gery is being tested as a treatment
for prostate cancer in men whose ra-
diation therapy has been unsuccess-
ful.
Baylor College of Medicine and
St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in
Houston are one of three U.S. sitfs
evaluating the effectiveness of high
intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)
on prostate cancer.
HIFU is administered through a
device inserted in the rectum. The
instrument focuses ultrasound waves
on a small area of the prostate, the
walnut-sized gland below the blad-
der that makes fluid for semen. The
ultrasound creates enough heat to
kill the cancerous tissue, and treat-
ment continues until the entire pros-
tate has been destroyed. The outpa-
tient procedure can usually be com-
pleted within three hours, and the
patient can go home after the spinal
anesthestic wears off.
“Our research should help deter-
mine whether HIFU can treat pros-
tate cancer w ithout causing some of
the side effects associated with other
options,’ said principal investigator
Dr. Brian Miles, medical director of
the Texas Cancer Institute at St.
Luke’s and associate professor of
urology at Baylor.
For cancer that is confined to the
prostate, surgery and radiation are
standard options. Complete removal
of the prostate, known as a radical
prostatectomy, can cause inconti-
nence and impotence. Radiation
therapy can cause rectal and bladder
injuries, difficulty urinating and im-
potence. For cancer that has spread
or metastasized, hormone therapy
and chemotherapy are usually rec-
ommended. These treatments can
also cause impotence, loss of sexual
desire, fatigue and osteoporosis, or
bone deterioration.
More than 400 patients in Europe
have been treated successfully with
HIFU since 1992. The procedure has
been modified since its inception to
greatly reduce such side effects as uri-
nary tract infections and incontinence.
To be eligible for the study at
Baylor and St. Luke’s, men must be
at least 50 years of age and in good
general health. Their cancer must be
confined to the prostate, and they
must have undergone radiation
therapy at least 18 months ago. Vol-
unteers can call (713) 798-8514. The
HIFU treatment is free. Participants
will be evaluated periodically for
five years for signs of cancer.
In addition to Baylor and St.
Luke’s, the HIFU study is being con-
ducted at Georgetown University
Medical Center and the University
of California at San Francisco.
“More than 179,000 new cases of
prostate cancer are expected to be
diagnosed this year,” Miles said. ‘If
HIFU proves safe and effective,
many men with this disease might be
treated without side effects that can
lessen their quality of life.’

Ag appropriations bill passes U.S. House
Washington - U.S. Congressman
Henry Bonilla today announced
good news for producers across the
state of Texas. The Agriculture Ap-
propriations Bill, which passed the
House today, contained many key
provisions that ensure that U.S. pro-
ducers are able to fairly compete in
the global market.
Among the bill’s highlights are:
• Increased funding for boll weevil
eradication: The House approved
Bonilla’s request for $17 million in
direct funding and $100 million in boll
weevil eradication loan programs.
“Texas is the largest cotton pro-
ducing state in the country,” Bonilla
said. “This boll weevil eradication
funding will help rid Texas cotton
producers of a pest that has plagued
the cotton industry for years.”
• Reactivation of Step II funding:
Bonilla included $201 million to re-
instate Step II funding. The bill al-
lows Step II to operate as needed for
the remainder of the 1996 farm law
which ends in 2003.
“U.S. cotton producers have been
playing on an uneven field for far too
long,” Bonilla said. “Reinstating Step
II funding will help level that field
so U.S. cotton producers can be more
competitive in the world market.”
• Extension of the mohair loan pro-
gram: the year-long extension of the
loan program will help producers
remain competitive while develop-
ing new markets.
“Mohair producers are in a bind,”
Bonilla said. “Virtually no mohair
has been sold in the last four or five
years. Extending this important loan
program will provide producers the
money they so desperately need to
keep afloat through this down time
in the mohair market.”
•Cut red tape at National Sheep In-
dustry Improvement Center lows and
grams: the center can begin distribut-
ing important loans and grants.
“The bureaucratic road blocks
have been cleared.” Bonilla said.
“The National Sheep Industry Im-
provement Center will now be more
able to do what it was designed to
do-to help provide a firm b se for
the U.S. sheep and goat industries.”
• Agriculture research funding;
approval was given for $834 million
for agriculture research.
• Livestock Assistance; The appro-
priations bill also included $322 mil-
lion to compensate livestock produc-
ersTor economic losses in 1999.
“We must do all we can to help
our agriculture producers,” Bonilla
said. “This agriculture appropriations
bill goes a long way in providing pro-
ducers in Texas and across the coun-
try much needed support during this
economically depressed time in the
agriculture industry ”
