" Playoffs are here for baseball starting this week they've got a whole new meaning for fans here in LA here in Philly here in New York. And for fox sportscaster Joe -- and got a whole lot of -- to this year he's involved with something very cool called stand up to cancer during the playoffs."

" His father the legendary Jack Buck died of lung cancer a few years back Joe is here to explain. What this program is all about you're pushing for a whole lot of home runs in the playoffs I -- that -- master -- is as well you know for every home run its hit during the post season it's another thousand dollars stand up to cancer. The website -- stand up to cancer dot org and do what they're doing. Leading into the World Series -- game three if player hits a home run off -- hit it here TARP in the outfield it's a million dollars. Is there really funding groundbreaking research and putting scientists and doctors from country -- with scientists and doctors from country -- Putting them together they wouldn't typically be together and seeing what comes of it so. It's really worthwhile cause and something that's it's easy for me to talk and we saw that sign for the million dollars but they're also even if there's just a home run just your average -- just. Not -- funny to read thousand dollars all throughout the post season so -- you both -- nineteen home runs hit. This post season even glanced down and Arkansas knows that there have been -- nineteenth. -- Iraqis are starting to rough morning for -- yeah. When a friend tell you don't look like this bother you at all that -- thirty. -- tell us what to look for this week to even be watching what I. I really think you know you're right it has been exciting so far the division series have been great compelling I think one of the things that leads to that is its best of five so you know if you blow game mean you're in trouble and that you get toward the end of an ALCS or World Series. Hopefully if -- TBS you get long series but I you know the Yankees and angels are really well matched evenly matched in and I think for the National -- the Dodgers are. I think they're gonna be tough to beat but Philadelphia they're they're trying to repeats. From the front page headline in the New York Post our sister publication why the yanks -- the angels thrilling halo. I was looking more Madoff who's -- good gang guy in prison Bernie -- off get him in the line yeah. Absolutely a lot people talk about the idea of the freeway series seeing you know Dodgers angels he think it's possible. Oh yeah I mean it's possible because they're both good teams out it's hard for me to pick everybody who always wants to knowing -- think's gonna win music. First of all I do is get myself in trouble because if -- pick against the team I have to walk into that ball park in that city if you. -- on stuff that -- secondly do you would thank pat are you kidding that's the a walk with me Jane and defend -- good arm and arm and see how I feel like life defend well. -- although they probably -- mean there can now eyes. But I get it you know people it's an emotional thing for people and and day. If your critical all of their team -- think you're against them so. You know I've learned by this point I don't make kept predictions it it does nothing to get me into trouble. Get hints c'mon can -- the yeah honestly if I had an opinion that I felt strongly about with one of these aliens I wouldn't share. But since I don't doubt really and I -- sharing -- well so -- have -- done anything here except can choose to do given the cancer fighting because here he is looking for weak pitching exact place throughout yes you on -- lot of home runs that's what we're looking for."

" Well it is an incredible cause and that group's stand up for cancer he hadn't checked out their website shed -- they really are doing phenomenal things -- they've gotten so many people in so many organizations on board just unbelievable stand up."

" Two number two cancer -- to cancer. Yes the number -- you leave it to meet again on cuts aren't -- thanks guests we'll be on TV John Jane thank you bet."

See it which we've seen in prostate cancers and and and and colorectal cancers some cancers are full donating their aggressive. And frankly is that gonna make any difference kind of -- cake but you're them began right and there are other cancers that grow much -- slowly that do respond -- drugs. And trying to figure out what the differences are. So you had people say well majestic trees are gonna do anything right let -- picture reshape meet Christ. Right -- given the statistics on how much is spent a lung cancer versus other alien love this one -- the victim in this. The three organizations in the NIH the CDC that national instant help. They center for disease control and the Department of Defense the environment of the -- kind of defense a big Mac Jenna femininity gap between the of them. They count it. Dollars per death that's how they figure it -- four breast cancer it was increased to thirteen 1800 some odd this year. Lung cancers dollar for -- was decreased. From 1600. To 1400. Well in -- it's almost ten times more money -- going into breast cancer of the lung cancer criminal element and I charger right now. And probably has to do with legislators should get tons of money from. From that
for actress -- Houston. Who placement McCloskey the real life dramas battling lung cancer for the second time. And we heard it today is doctor Cheryl Hilton president's seal of the American Legacy Foundation to talk about this devastating disease. Thank you both coming. I love you work I have to say that from the first thing I just love your work love that Desperate Housewives all the drama that goes on their Internet plan as lot of fun. Lot of real is -- real life stuff goes on there yeah again does. I was gonna talk about. -- very serious and I'm very happy that you're talking about this which is lung cancer . That coming here to talk about it -- well Leo we could be that the lung cancer in -- finished but before I came here on the set. I was talking about lets -- process screening but we would talk about screening and I said you know lung cancer is one of those diseases. That really doesn't get the attention it deserves it doesn't. When he comes to screening protocols. And.
Welcome -- and I were talking earlier about the fact that the lung cancer epidemic in this country that's been ongoing for years and years more women die of lung cancer . Than any other form of cancer by far away. Feels a lot like the aids epidemic did early on in the -- it's it's very very unfortunate and it is something it has to change because. As Kathy will point out in a moment the amount of money spent on lung cancer research is one insufficient. Number two we're waiting a very long time to get the answer about -- screening is efficacious. That said a number of articles including some in The New England Journal of Medicine have really strongly suggested that someone who has a heavy smoking history has smoked for years. Really ought to consider annual screening. I'm a former smoker I get screened annually that's heresy to some in the medical field. But I've lost so many of my aunts and uncles to lung cancer and I know I have a heavy smoking history that I consider myself off a very high risk --
is it why is it bad for people to get screened for lung cancer .
you could develop. The in the mutation that did result some lung cancer and it could go first six months next time mid chest X ray you get a full blown. Right revenue editors staged
large national 50000 person randomized clinical trial. Looking at whether or not lung cancer rates are lower in those that get screening there're a lot of problems with that trial I don't think people are prepared to admit the problems. But there are a lot of problems. Many weeks cancer screening strategies came out of observational studies right. And there are a number of observational studies and make a very strong case for screening the problem is when you disseminate lung cancer screening broadly. You were going to have unfortunately a number of people operated on who actually did not need to be operated
what are you trying to -- chief on because you're a cash lung cancer survivor right you had to deal with that. What is this campaign about.
obviously one of the most important things one can do to avoid lung cancer -- by no means certain because the majority people who get lung cancer . You never smoked or have already quit is to quit. And 90% of people who develop a lung cancer have smoked at some point in their history so this is the station program it's on the web you can go to become the next got to work. It's a nationwide in ad campaign it's been running on in the World Series since launching all over the country and it's. Basically providing tools for people to quit smoking which is critically important their 43 million Americans that still do. And and they need to give detritus but it's good to
