			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ce nouveau traitement est le premier et l&#39;unique qui rallonge l&#39;esp&eacute;rance de vie des Canadiens atteints de la forme la plus mortelle du cancer de la peau </p>
<p><strong>VANCOUVER, COLOMBIE-BRITANNIQUE</strong>&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; 8 f&eacute;v. 2012) &#8211; Sant&eacute; Canada a annonc&eacute; l&#39;autorisation du YervoyMC (ipilimumab) pour le traitement du m&eacute;lanome m&eacute;tastatique ou de stade avanc&eacute;. Yervoy est le seul nouveau traitement du m&eacute;lanome depuis ces dix derni&egrave;res ann&eacute;es et est le seul m&eacute;dicament qui a montr&eacute; un rallongement significatif de la vie des patients vivant avec cette maladie. Le m&eacute;lanome est la forme la plus mortelle du cancer de la peau. C&#39;est &eacute;galement un des cancers qui progresse le plus vite au Canada. </p>
<p>&quot;L&#39;autorisation du Yervoy par Sant&eacute; Canada donne de l&#39;espoir aux Canadiens luttant pour vivre plus longtemps,&quot; explique Kathy Barnard, Fondatrice de la Fondation Save Your Skin. &quot;C&#39;est d&eacute;chirant de voir autant de Canadiens perdre leur combat contre le m&eacute;lanome, et comme la plupart des patients atteints du m&eacute;lanome avanc&eacute; ont une esp&eacute;rance de vie de moins d&#39;un an le temps est essentiel. J&#39;esp&egrave;re que tous les Canadiens qui en ont besoin auront acc&egrave;s &agrave; Yervoy d&egrave;s que possible pour leur donner une chance de survivre &agrave; cette maladie.&quot; </p>
<p>Cette nouvelle a touch&eacute; personnellement Barnard, qui m&egrave;ne sa propre lutte contre le m&eacute;lanome. Barnard a &eacute;t&eacute; diagnostiqu&eacute;e pour la premi&egrave;re fois en 2003 et en 2005 le m&eacute;lanome malin de stade IV s&#39;&eacute;tait propag&eacute;. On a d&eacute;couvert des tumeurs dans son poumon gauche, dans son rein, dans son foie et dans sa glande surr&eacute;nale. En 2007 au travers d&#39;une &eacute;tude clinique Barnard a &eacute;t&eacute; trait&eacute;e avec Yervoy et depuis elle est gu&eacute;rie de cette maladie. </p>
<p>&quot;J&#39;ai eu beaucoup de chance d&#39;avoir acc&egrave;s &agrave; ce m&eacute;dicament,&quot; t&eacute;moigne Barnard. &quot;La sensibilisation et l&#39;acc&egrave;s aux nouveaux traitements sont essentiels. C&#39;est la raison pour laquelle je suis vivante aujourd`hui.&quot; Un des objectifs cl&eacute;s de Save Your Skin est de communiquer rapidement et &agrave; une &eacute;chelle nationale sur les options de traitement disponibles. </p>
<p>Dans les stades avanc&eacute;s de la maladie, l&#39;esp&eacute;rance de vie moyenne des patients atteints de m&eacute;lanome n&#39;exc&egrave;de pas six mois. Avec 25 pourcent des patients pouvant esp&eacute;rer vivre un an au plus, le m&eacute;lanome m&eacute;tastasique est le cancer le plus agressif et la forme la plus mortelle de cancer de la peau. </p>
<p>On estime que 5,500 Canadiens seront diagnostiqu&eacute;s avec un m&eacute;lanome cette ann&eacute;e et que 950 en mourront. Le m&eacute;lanome est responsable de 75 pourcent des d&eacute;c&egrave;s associ&eacute;s au cancer de la peau. Gr&acirc;ce &agrave; Yervoy le taux de survie Kaplan-Meier apr&egrave;s un an et apr&egrave;s deux ans a presque doubl&eacute; compar&eacute; aux patients trait&eacute;s avec le vaccin contre le cancer gp100. Avec Yervoy le taux de survie a &eacute;t&eacute; de 46 pourcent apr&egrave;s un an et de 24 pourcent apr&egrave;s deux ans contre 25 pourcent apr&egrave;s un an et 14 pourcent apr&egrave;s deux ans avec gp100. Yervoy a &eacute;galement permis a certains patients de vivre jusqu&#39;&agrave; trois ou quatre ans au del&agrave; du traitement. </p>
<p>Yervoy offre une importante nouvelle option de traitement &agrave; ceux qui souffrent du m&eacute;lanome avanc&eacute; et le m&eacute;dicament donne un vrai espoir d&#39;une survie &agrave; long terme. </p>
<p><strong>&Agrave; Propos du M&eacute;lanome au Canada <br />
	</strong></p>
<p>Tous les ans, des milliers de Canadiens sont diagnostiqu&eacute;s avec un m&eacute;lanome. La fr&eacute;quence de la maladie augmente ainsi plus rapidement que pour tout autre cancer. Le m&eacute;lanome est la forme mortelle du cancer de la peau caract&eacute;ris&eacute;e par la prolif&eacute;ration incontr&ocirc;l&eacute;e des cellules qui produisent les pigments cutan&eacute;s (m&eacute;lanocytes). 1 homme sur 74 et 1 femme sur 90 sont susceptible de d&eacute;velopper un cancer de la peau de type m&eacute;lanome au cours de leur vie; 1 homme sur 284 et 1 femme sur 486 en mourront. Le m&eacute;lanome est clairement visible &agrave; la surface de la peau. 90 pourcent de m&eacute;lanomes sont caus&eacute;s par l&#39;exposition aux rayons ultraviolets y compris les bancs solaires. </p>
<p><strong>&Agrave; Propos de YervoyMC <br />
	</strong></p>
<p>Yervoy (3 mg/kg) est indiqu&eacute; pour le traitement du m&eacute;lanome non r&eacute;s&eacute;cable ou m&eacute;tastatique chez les patients qui ne tol&egrave;rent pas ou pour qui d&#39;autre th&eacute;rapies syst&eacute;miques contre la maladie avanc&eacute;e ont &eacute;chou&eacute;. Yervoy est un recombinant; un anticorps monoclonal humain. Il s&#39;agit de la premi&egrave;re immunoth&eacute;rapie de cancer autoris&eacute;e pour le m&eacute;lanome pour cibler le CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4), qui joue un r&ocirc;le en supprimant la fonction normale du syst&egrave;me immunitaire. </p>
<p><strong>&Agrave; Propos de la Fondation Save Your Skin <br />
	</strong></p>
<p>La Fondation Save Your Skin est une fondation &agrave; but non lucratif bas&eacute;e au Canada. Au travers d&#39;&eacute;v&egrave;nements et de diverses initiatives, la fondation a pour objectif de collecter des fonds d&eacute;di&eacute;s &agrave; l&#39;&eacute;ducation et &agrave; la sensibilisation, de proposer un soutien psychologique et financier aux patients atteints de m&eacute;lanome et d&#39;autres types de cancer de la peau, et de soutenir la recherche et les traitements contre le cancer de la peau &#8211; en particulier le m&eacute;lanome. </p>
<p>Les dons servent &agrave; offrir des traitements rapides et primordiaux, ainsi qu&#39;&agrave; l&#39;&eacute;ducation, &agrave; la recherche et aux initiatives pour la sensibilisation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VANCOUVER, C.-B., le 16 juin 2011 &ndash; D&rsquo;apr&egrave;s un nouveau sondage r&eacute;alis&eacute; par la Fondation Save Your Skin, la plupart des Canadiens (85 pour cent) savent que le m&eacute;lanome est une forme de cancer de la peau, mais plus du tiers d&rsquo;entre eux (35 pour cent) n&rsquo;examinent jamais leur peau pour d&eacute;celer la pr&eacute;sence de grains de beaut&eacute; et de taches pigment&eacute;es suspectes ou n&eacute;gligent de les faire &eacute;valuer. </p>
<p>Le m&eacute;lanome compte parmi les cancers dont la fr&eacute;quence augmente le plus rapidement dans le monde, mais comme il s&rsquo;agit de l&rsquo;un des seuls types de cancer tout de m&ecirc;me assez visible sur la peau, le d&eacute;pistage pr&eacute;coce est non seulement possible, mais aussi important pour assurer la r&eacute;ussite du traitement.</p>
<p>&quot;Il est important de poss&eacute;der les connaissances de base sur le m&eacute;lanome et d&rsquo;examiner r&eacute;guli&egrave;rement ses grains de beaut&eacute;. Plus les anomalies sont port&eacute;es rapidement &agrave; l&rsquo;attention du m&eacute;decin, plus les chances de survie sont grandes&quot;, explique Kathy Barnard, fondatrice de la Fondation Save Your Skin et elle-m&ecirc;me atteinte d&rsquo;un m&eacute;lanome. </p>
<p>Les jeunes font particuli&egrave;rement preuve de n&eacute;gligence en ce qui a trait &agrave; l&rsquo;examen de leur peau pour d&eacute;celer des signes de cancer, en d&eacute;pit du fait que le m&eacute;lanome soit le deuxi&egrave;me cancer en importance chez les personnes &acirc;g&eacute;es de 15 &agrave; 34 ans . Selon le sondage, pr&egrave;s de la moiti&eacute; (46 %) des Canadiens de ce groupe d&rsquo;&acirc;ge n&rsquo;examinent jamais leur peau pour d&eacute;celer la pr&eacute;sence de taches pigment&eacute;es anormales ou de grains de beaut&eacute;. De plus, apr&egrave;s avoir &eacute;t&eacute; inform&eacute;s que la fr&eacute;quence des m&eacute;lanomes a plus que tripl&eacute; au cours des 30 derni&egrave;res ann&eacute;es plus de la moiti&eacute; d&rsquo;entre eux (52%) ne sont pas plus enclins ou sont seulement un peu plus enclins &agrave; examiner leurs peau. </p>
<p>&quot;Le d&eacute;pistage pr&eacute;coce est capital pour survivre au m&eacute;lanome&quot;, affirme le Dr Claveau, dermatologue &agrave; Qu&eacute;bec. Ces r&eacute;sultats sont inqui&eacute;tants car ils d&eacute;montrent que les jeunes Canadiens n&rsquo;ont pas conscience de l&rsquo;importance d&rsquo;un examen fr&eacute;quent de leur peau, et ce malgr&eacute; l&rsquo;incidence croissante de ce cancer chez les 15-34ans.</p>
<p>&quot; Dans l&rsquo;ensemble, les Canadiens ne prennent pas toutes les mesures n&eacute;cessaires pour d&eacute;celer &agrave; un stade pr&eacute;coce ce cancer clairement visible sur la peau. Parmi ceux qui surveillent r&eacute;guli&egrave;rement leur peau &agrave; la recherche de taches pigment&eacute;es anormales ou de grains de beaut&eacute; suspects, pr&egrave;s de la moiti&eacute; (49 %) s&rsquo;en remettent &agrave; leur m&eacute;decin de famille comme principale ressource pour d&eacute;celer d&rsquo;&eacute;ventuels m&eacute;lanomes. En outre, moins d&rsquo;une personne sur cinq (17 %) examine ou fait examiner chaque mois ses grains de beaut&eacute;, comme le recommande l&rsquo;Association canadienne de dermatologie. </p>
<p>Avec l&rsquo;&eacute;t&eacute; officiellement entam&eacute; la semaine prochaine, la Fondation Save Your Skin continue d&rsquo;insister sur l&rsquo;importance du d&eacute;pistage pr&eacute;coce du m&eacute;lanome, et encourage tous les Canadiens &agrave; examiner r&eacute;guli&egrave;rement leur peau et celle de leurs proches.</p>
<p>&quot;Faites-en une habitude ludique&quot;, sugg&egrave;re Kathy Barnard.&quot;Montrez &agrave; vos jeunes enfants comment proc&eacute;der, prenez des photos ou pr&eacute;parez un album personnalis&eacute; afin qu&rsquo;ils sachent ce qui doit les alerter et connaissent l&rsquo;existence de la maladie. Entre conjoints, cette pratique peut &ecirc;tre chaque mois le pr&eacute;texte &agrave; un rendez-vous romantique permettant de marquer une pause fort appr&eacute;ci&eacute;e dans le tourbillon de nos vies tr&eacute;pidantes.&quot; </p>
<p>Pour en savoir plus sur le m&eacute;lanome et la fa&ccedil;on de proc&eacute;der pour bien examiner vos grains de beaut&eacute;, visitez le site www.saveyourskin.ca. </p>
<p>&Agrave; propos du m&eacute;lanome au Canada </p>
<p>Tous les ans, des milliers de Canadiens re&ccedil;oivent un diagnostic de m&eacute;lanome, une maladie dont la fr&eacute;quence augmente plus rapidement que celle de tout autre cancer. Ainsi, 1 homme sur 74 et 1 femme sur 90 sont susceptibles d&rsquo;avoir un m&eacute;lanome au cours de leur vie; 1 homme sur 284 et 1 femme sur 486 en mourront. Le m&eacute;lanome est le type le plus grave de cancer de la peau et cause 75 % des d&eacute;c&egrave;s attribuables au cancer de la peau. Malgr&eacute; l&#39;augmentation constante du nombre de personnes atteintes de m&eacute;lanome m&eacute;tastatique (stade avanc&eacute;), il n&#39;existe actuellement au Canada aucun traitement permettant d&rsquo;am&eacute;liorer la survie des patients. </p>
<p>&Agrave; propos de la Fondation Save Your Skin </p>
<p>La Fondation Save Your Skin a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e par la famille, les amis et les coll&egrave;gues de la fondatrice, Kathy Barnard, qui lutte elle-m&ecirc;me contre un m&eacute;lanome. Save Your Skin est une fondation canadienne &agrave; but non lucratif. Elle a pour objectif de recueillir, au moyen de campagnes, d&#39;&eacute;v&eacute;nements et de diverses initiatives, des fonds destin&eacute;s &agrave; l&#39;&eacute;ducation et &agrave; la sensibilisation du public, au soutien psychologique et financier des patients atteints d&rsquo;un cancer de la peau, ainsi qu&rsquo;au soutien de la recherche scientifique sur le cancer de la peau afin de contribuer &agrave; l&#39;&eacute;volution des traitements contre cette maladie. Vos dons permettent &agrave; la fondation Save Your Skin de fournir en temps voulu les traitements n&eacute;cessaires aux patients, de financer la recherche scientifique et de mettre en place des campagnes d&#39;&eacute;ducation et de sensibilisation. Pour toute information compl&eacute;mentaire, visitez le site http://www.saveyourskin.ca/ ou communiquez avec Marion P&eacute;role, au 604-734-4223. </p>
<p>&Agrave; propos du sondage</p>
<p>Les 18 et 19 mai 2011, Opinion publique Angus Reid a r&eacute;alis&eacute; un sondage en ligne pour le compte de la Fondation Save Your Skin aupr&egrave;s de 1009 adultes canadiens choisis au hasard. La marge d&#39;erreur, qui mesure la variabilit&eacute; d&#39;&eacute;chantillonnage, est de +/- 3,1 %, 19 fois sur 20. Les r&eacute;sultats ont &eacute;t&eacute; statistiquement pond&eacute;r&eacute;s selon les plus r&eacute;centes donn&eacute;es de recensement sur l&#39;&eacute;ducation, l&#39;&acirc;ge, le sexe et la r&eacute;gion afin d&#39;assurer un &eacute;chantillon repr&eacute;sentatif de la population adulte canadienne. Les &eacute;carts dans ou entre les totaux sont dus aux arrondis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another U.S. Approval of New Melanoma Treatment Offers More Hope for Canadians</p>
<p>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; Aug. 18, 2011) &#8211; U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Zelboraf (vemurafenib), a drug to treat patients with late-stage (metastatic) or unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery) melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Zelboraf is specifically indicated for the treatment of patients with melanoma whose tumors express a gene mutation called BRAF V600E. The drug has not been studied in patients whose melanoma tests negative for that mutation by an FDA approved diagnostic.</p>
<p>Zelboraf is being approved with a first-of-a-kind test called the cobas 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test, a companion diagnostic that will help determine if a patient&#8217;s melanoma cells have the BRAF V600E mutation. The BRAF protein is normally involved in regulating cell growth, but is mutated in about half of the patients with late-stage melanomas. Zelboraf is a BRAF inhibitor that is able to block the function of the V600E-mutated BRAF protein. It is the first oral agent for metastatic melanoma.</p>
<p>&laquo;&nbsp;The discovery of Zelboraf represents another significant advance in the treatment of melanoma,&nbsp;&raquo; says Kathy Barnard, Founder of the Save Your Skin Foundation. &laquo;&nbsp;As there are few current patient options that extend life, we hope to soon celebrate its availability in Canada.&nbsp;&raquo;</p>
<p>This news hits a personal note for Barnard, who is currently fighting her own battle with melanoma. In 2003 Barnard was first diagnosed, and by 2005 stage IV malignant melanoma had spread. Tumors were found in her left lung, kidney, liver, and adrenal gland. Kathy is currently in remission but has recently been tested positive with the cobas 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation test. &laquo;&nbsp;Zelboraf gives melanoma patients even more hope in their fight with melanoma,&nbsp;&raquo; says Barnard.</p>
<p>Zelboraf&#8217;s safety and effectiveness were established in a single international trial of 675 patients with late-stage melanoma with the BRAF V600E mutation who had not received prior therapy. Patients were assigned to receive either Zelboraf or dacarbazine, another anti-cancer therapy. The trial was designed to measure overall survival (the length of time between start of treatment and death of a patient).</p>
<p>The median survival (the length of time a patient lives after treatment) of patients receiving Zelboraf has not been reached (77 percent still living) while the median survival for those who received dacarbazine was 8 months (64 percent still living).</p>
<p>&laquo;&nbsp;The approval of Zelboraf by the U.S. F.D.A. marks a major advance in the treatment of metastatic melanoma,&nbsp;&raquo; said Dr. Michael Smylie. &laquo;&nbsp;Metastatic melanoma is one of the most aggressive cancers in humans and treatment until recently has been mostly futile. Melanoma patients now have an effective treatment option available to them with at least 50% of all patients getting a significant response, and future discoveries will hopefully be able to give even more successful treatment outcomes.&nbsp;&raquo;</p>
<p><strong>About Melanoma in Canada</strong></p>
<p>Every year, thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with Melanoma, with the incidence of the disease increasing faster than that of any other cancer. One in 74 men and 1 in 90 women are expected to develop melanoma during their lifetime; 1 in 284 men and 1 in 486 women will die of it. It is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, causing 75% of deaths associated with skin cancer. Currently in Canada, there is no treatment proven to extend the lives of people diagnosed with metastatic (advanced) melanoma, despite the rising incidence of the disease.</p>
<p><strong>About the Save Your Skin Foundation</strong></p>
<p>The Save Your Skin Foundation was created by family, friends, and colleagues of Founder Kathy Barnard, who is currently battling melanoma. Save Your Skin is a Canadian based not-for-profit Foundation. Through events and other initiatives, the Foundation focuses on raising funds for education and awareness, providing emotional and financial support to those dealing with skin cancer, and on supporting the ongoing research and treatment of skin cancer. Donations go towards providing critical and timely treatments, as well as ongoing education, research, and awareness initiatives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday, August 7, people all across Canada came together to walk with those in their community for a ‘Walk to Remember’.  The walk took place in three cities this year; West Vancouver B.C., Kelowna B.C., and Halifax N.S. Last minute – we also put together a walk in Cannes, France!</p>
<p>The 5K walks were held in the early evening, avoiding peak sun light hours when the UV index is highest. Thankfully, the sun came out in every location this year to make these walks even more memorable – of course we were all covered head-to-toe in sunscreen and protective clothing. Each walk remembered those individuals that the Foundation has loved and lost, and those who inspire hope in families and friends affected by melanoma and other skin cancers.</p>
<p>We are so proud to have held Save Your Skin’s first annual Walk to Remember and to have as much support from those in each community as we did. Next year we hope to have a walk in each province across Canada. </p>
<p>Photos of the event are on the way so stay tuned!</p>
<p>Walk to Remember – Kelowna – In Memory of Klara</p>
<p>Walk to Remember – West Vancouver – In Memory of Terra</p>
<p>Walk to Remember – Halifax – In Memory of Owen</p>
<p>Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for making these walks possible &#8211; Okanagan Skin Care Centre, Kelowna, B.C. and Physician Skincare Centre, North Vancouver, B.C.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday, July 31st, was Vancouver’s 33rd annual Pride Parade, and the Save Your Skin Foundation was there to take part in the festivities. Our dedicated save your skin team dressed up as sun safety superheroes for the parade and we had our booth set up at the Sunset Beach festival as well.<br />
<a href="http://saveyourskin.ca/fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Photo-2011-07-31-3-29-05-PM.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-968 alignnone" title="Photo 2011-07-31 3 29 05 PM" src="http://saveyourskin.ca/fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Photo-2011-07-31-3-29-05-PM-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>We took to the parade route in yellow and red spandex, capes, and body paint; handing out wipes, hosing people down with sunscreen, and dancing the entire way! We were so excited to be in the parade, and the crowd was equally as responsive. We definitely hope to be in the parade again next year, making a reappearance as the Save Your Skin Superheroes.</p>
<p><a href="http://saveyourskin.ca/fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Photo-2011-07-31-3-29-46-PM1.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-974" title="Photo 2011-07-31 3 29 46 PM" src="http://saveyourskin.ca/fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Photo-2011-07-31-3-29-46-PM1-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>The Sunset Beach celebration was also a success- the weather had picked up by the end of the parade, and our booth was busy. We met (and sprayed down) many eccentric and scantily clad characters. The huge celebration was embraced by the City of Vancouver and it was a very exciting time.</p>
<p>Save Your Skin had a fantastic time in both preparing for the Pride Parade, and the event itself. We look forward to participating in both the parade and at Sunset Beach again next year, to make sure the lovely people supporting Vancouver’s LGBTTQ community are protected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On July 9th, over a thousand scantily-clad Vancouverites took the streets of the West End in the Underwear Affair- A BC Cancer Foundation event to raise funds for “cancers below the waist” (testicular, cervical, prostate, and ovarian, to name a few).  The weather was warm and ideal for the event, and-eager to help the fight against cancers other than melanoma- Save Your Skin was there to make sure all participants were sun safe.</p>
<p>Our booth was set up between the media tent and the Red Bull girls, both of which helped add to our popularity.  As the participants began to arrive before the evening walk/run, the traffic in the SYS booth grew- and this crew provided us with lots of skin to lather!  The costumes were fantastic; while some people played it safe in just their unmentionables, there were also super heroes, the infamous “Green Men” Canucks supporters, and one brave participant dressed in a full-length banana costume!  Regardless of their outfits, participants came to us to chat, fulfill their sunscreen needs, and ensure that they were well protected during the event.</p>
<p>The atmosphere was lively all day, with the Diet Coke truck blasting music while the athletes milled around for hours before the event began, often stopping in with us to re-apply.  Hundreds of spectators came to check out the scene as well.  The Underwear Affair was overall a fantastic and successful event, and Save Your Skin had a successful (and very fun) day.  We hope to lather up the next batch of nearly- naked competitors next year.</p>
