doesn't count. let's get better. we wanted to start with a disease that can strike suddenly. the fight against pancreatic cancer. doctors uncovered a new way to heal disease. you automatic think this is that can't be treated. is that true or has it changed? >> it can be treated. the problem is the treatment thing is not effective and people are worried about pancreatic cancer. it's the number four awaiting killer in the country. it is found too late to treat it surgically. with processed cancer, if you can't treat it surgically, you can't cure the patient. the surgery is complicated and the problem is most of the time you can't even do it. it's spread too far. what do we do when most people present to a silent painless jaupdis. by the time you turn yellow
7:32 am
painlessly, it's too late to do anything. we have to look for tests that will find it before. not imaging, but you don't know how early enough. blood tests and markers. we have won the ca 19-9. it is not that effective. in japan, they found markers in the blood stream that can help you. still not ready for prime time. answer eric's question. a new study out is looking at genetic factors. something called rna, a genetic factor that tells the body you are making a tumor. if that worked out that could be the answer. it's the wave of the future to diagnose something before it gets out of the barn and before the horses get out of the barn. >> that could work for other silent cancer killers like ovarian. >> this is a specific source.
7:33 am
as you mentioned, the disease has a lot of people get it. this is a death sentence unfortunately. partially because we are not catching it early. the super marker, 80% of the patients who had pancreatic cancer had this marker. what is walking out there with pancreatic cancer that we don't know about. 45,000 people are diagnosed and 70,000 die. a the love people are dying from this. who are the people? if you are a smoker, smoking comes up again. obesity and diabetes. pank retights. if you are a male over 45, you are at risk and you should tell your doctor you have this so they can screen more.
7:34 am
a pank re a pancreas is a-inch organ and we can't examine it and find it. surgery is a treatment of choice. when we find it in the hands of experience surgeons, laproscopic surgery and followed by chemotherapy. there a lot of great studies going on. the scientists are having a tough time getting the cancer because the cells are surrounded and they can't get to it. they get the chemo there and a lot of exciting things are going on. >> what should i ask for? >> they know this already. if you say pancreatic cancer, you can get this. >> my glad panel. >> it's not that effective. we don't have an answer yet. we can't find it on the cat skaps and we are looking for something else.
7:35 am
we have to think about it. if there is a family history. one of the points, the pancreas is a double organ. we talkeded about that. today we are talking about the other side. it's called the side that makes digestive hormones and the part that makes digestive hormones. >> did they ask about the parchg reas? >> it's coming from copenhagen. i wanted to say that it's it's funny. we have a long way to go. >> you can't live without your pancreas. . >> you can remove part of it. watch sunday house call you especially don't want to get sick on sunday. it could be more dangerous if you get sick at night or on the weekend.
7:36 am
all the doctors are on call to pick up the phone and the hospital is open. >> the doctors are here. this is a study that came out from the mayo clinic. we see the studies coming in and this is not to scare you, but as we get closer and closer to night time and the weekend, friday night, saturday, and sunday. the care may not be as good. the staff is not there and based on this study, or they have stroke, it was about 10% increased risk of dying. not to scare people, they are looking into it and they are using telemedicine. send the cat scan to the radiologist. bring them on the weekends is a
7:37 am
rap response team we have. when there is a problem, this team of experts. if you are planning to have a heart attack, make sure it's monday, tuesday, or wednesday. >> will they cover this extensively in the future of health care and will they have the capability and resources to staff a hospital on the night and the weekends? >> that's a big question. the patients have to be their own advocates. we are talking about the heart here. if you are having a heart attack ongoing and people are still dying of heart disease in this country. if you have a heart attack ongoing, there is door to balloon time. you have to get to the hospital within 90 minutes to get up stairs and have that angiogram done or have that artery reopened. that's an important point. the study shows that 40% less likely to get there in the 90 minutes if we are talking weekends or nights.
7:38 am
here's what you can do if you are a patient. if you are here at university hospital, a major study tries to get there. don't tell the ambulance driver. they know what they are doing. the ambulance drivers know what they are doing. if you get to a major medical center, it's going to help you. the other point is hospitals are starting to gear up for this. they know about this. the cardiac lab knows about this and they are on call. >> having a relationship with your doctor is tremendous. you have to know your doctor. people call me and hopefully, make sure people are standing in the emergency room so when i get there, i don't have to sit around for three hours. >> we will leave a message and they never call back. >> everyone practices medicine in different ways. a lot of people have cell phones and e-mails. for the hospital, this study is

7:53 am
came up with a classification for these renal cysts. we have four different types of classification, bosnjak one and two, three and four are more aggressive. you want to remove them and make sure if it's one of those, then your meteorologistist will recommend removal. >> thanks for the nyu nod. but he says he has pain. so one thing that can happen with simple cysts, and again, we're talking a simple cyst here, it can actually obstruct. so somebody has to make sure that it isn't obstructing the flow through the tubals. now, assuming that that is not the case, you can just follow it. the more complex ones, those are the ones you worry about. talking about kidney cancer for a minute, which we haven't covered here before, what puts you at risk for that, eric? high blood pressure, obesity, the thingsz we were worried about at the beginning of the show. smoking. we're always worried about smoking. and the other thing is workplace

welcome back, everybody. there is definitely arguments on both sides when it comes to the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana. and the effects medically, as well. what is the impact on our body and our overall health if you are prescribed or you decide to just smoke marijuana? dr. siegel. >> first of all, i think it has the medical indication. it decreases nausea, it can improve appetite if you're suffering from cancer. multiple sclerosis, it's been shown to help with pain. but on the other hand, with kids taking it, 60% of people under the age of 60 say it's the primary reason they go into rehab. it impairs thinking, impairs performance on tests, it's addictive. you don't want to get behind the wheel on it. it's a dangerous drug when it's used recreationally. too many times the distinction is blurred. >> you talked about kidney from smoking, heart, it seems like a
7:59 am
lot of your organs would be impacted. >> and this is something we all have to think about as doctors. this is not a political statement, because you have to watch out for your patients. i'm not sure -- i disagree a little bit. i don't think there's anything wrong with medical marijuana. i really don't think so. and i know a lot of people may disagree with this. i know it's ridiculous that we have this legalized in washington, in colorado, other places. studies show that prolonged marijuana use reduces the i.q., psychosis, depression and the risks outweigh the benefits. for that reason, i'm out. >> so i agree with that. rec yaekzally, it's awful. it leads to a lot of problems. >> dangerous. don't do it. >> dangerous. >> illegal most places. >> it's very interesting in your opinion both of them are shared by many people. the debate will continue. that's going to do it for us on
