WINDBER - A new method of determining if breast cancer will spread, sparing many women with early-stage breast cancer from chemotherapy, will be one of the research methods done at the new Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center to be built at [ Windber Medical Center (2001)].
A portion of a $7.5 million grant from the Department of Defense will be used to establish the center in honor of the congressman John Murtha's wife who has long been a proponent of early diagnosis and treatment. Eight representatives of Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Dr. Joe Osterman from the Jackson Foundation, which administers the grant, were in Windber on Tuesday to meet with hospital officials.
"This is the first meeting between the people from Walter Recd and us," [Francis Nicholas "Nick" Jacobs (born 1947)], president and chief executive officer of Windber Medical Center, said. "We're discussing who is doing what, how, when and where. We already collaborate with Walter Reed on the Ornish program and this will be a similar joint venture."
(A defense department grant was awarded earlier for defense department employees, retirees and their families to use the Dr. Dean Ornish Heart Disease Reversal Program at the hospital.)
[Col. Craig David Shriver, MD (born 1958)], chief of surgical oncology at Walter Recd, said the hospital has a good relationship with Windber Medical Center.
"We at Walter Reed are proud of our association with Windber and grateful that congressman (John) Murtha supports these programs." he said. "We will be screening people and assessing their risk of developing breast cancer. Those who are unfortunate to get it will have the advantage of being at a center on the most cutting edge of treatment."
"Some call it an epidemic of breast cancer," Shriver said. ''By age 90, one in nine women will develop it and we are seeing an increase in younger women. Our first goal is to help women learn their risks so they will be diagnosed at an early age because the cure rate is 90 percent if detected early. Our second goal is to show how you can affect the life-changes to prevent breast cancer."
About 175,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Most will have small tumors that have not spread to the lymph nodes. About 70 percent can be cured with surgery and radiation alone. Cancer will reoccur in about 30 percent, who will need chemotherapy.
A German researcher released a study on Monday al the 91st Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research held in San Francisco, Dr. Anita Prechtl, Technical University in Munich, described the use of two proteins in tumors that might help reveal the likelihood of the cancer coming back.
The proteins arc uPA - short for urokinase-type plasminogen activator - and its natural inhibitor, known us PAI--l. About 45 percent of breast cancer patients have high levels of these proteins. they have a higher risk of cancer spread. The new method is called microarray testing. A computer will analyze the sequence of proteins and compare how they. change over time.
It is a very exciting field of study, Shriver said. Instead of removing all the lymph nodes under a woman's arm, they are able to remove one or two for study. It is a more accurate means of determining if the cancer will spread and allows the majority of women avoid side effect of chemotherapy.
"The power of microarray testing is that it allows us .to analyze a huge number of genetic markers over a period of time." he said, "Computers assist with the data analysis. It's a powerful tool to help us decide which women are at risk by testing the tissue. Now we treat them as studies of a large number of people have shown is effective. We will he able to individualize treatment to each patient."
Groundbreaking for the new center should be in the next two months, Jacob said. Construction will he completed within a year.
"If is a significant day for us because we are signaling the beginning of the partnership with Walter Reed for the breast care center," Jacobs said. "This gives life to the dream of having a national breast care center in this area."
Lt. Col. Alfred Brooks, M.D., chief of medical oncology at Walter Reed, said the new center will be an opportunity to enhance the concept of breast care in general, not just breast cancer. Prevention is the key. The center can make a significant impact in the ur ·as of research, prevention and treatment, he said.

Colonel, Medical Corps, United States Army
Director, John P. Murtha Cancer Center
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
Colonel Craig Shriver is a native of Reading, Pennsylvania. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biochemistry (Cum Laude) from the Albright College in Reading, a Medical Degree (Alpha Omega Alpha) from Temple University School of Medicine. Colonel Shriver was commissioned in the US Army Medical Corps in 1984. His post graduate training included his surgical internship and residency at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Dr. Shriver was selected for advanced fellowship training in surgical oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
After completing his surgical oncology fellowship he was assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center as a staff general surgeon. He took over as Chief of Surgical Oncology in 1995, and in 1998 became the Director of the Surgery Residency Program, and Chief of General Surgery in 2001. February 2000 he was selected by the command to become Director of the congressionally-mandated CBCP, a military-civilian coalition providing excellent clinical care and cutting-edge breast cancer research. This research project has been funded over $100 million since its inception, and has amassed one of the world’s most extensive human biorepositories of breast cancers and tissues, which are used by researchers around the world to study breast cancer and its treatment. He was named Interim Director of the Cancer Center at Walter Reed NMMC Bethesda in September 2011, and then named Director of the John P. Murtha Cancer Center at Walter Reed Bethesda in November 2012.
COL Shriver’s military education includes completion of the Advanced Officer Course, and graduating with honors (top 10% of class) from the Command and General Staff College in June 2000. His operational assignments include a two-year tour at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and direct surgical support of four overseas combat military operations (tours).
