City of Hope launches mobile cancer prevention, screening program
City of Hope is launching its new mobile cancer prevention and screening program into Southern California communities.
The program aims to address health inequities by featuring two mobile clinics with a full staff, including nurse practitioners, nurses, mammography technologists, and support staff. Mobile clinic clients will receive personalized screening recommendations based on a novel risk assessment and necessary tests. The mobile clinic assesses risk and screens for at least 15 different types of cancer and uses mammography technology for breast cancer screening.
If a mobile clinic client receives a positive findin...

The Unique Hell of Getting Cancer as a Young Adult
When I got diagnosed with Stage 3b Hodgkin Lymphoma at age 32, it was almost impossible to process. Without a family history or lifestyle risk factors that put cancer on my radar, I stared at the emergency room doctor in utter disbelief when he said the CT scan of my swollen lymph node showed what appeared to be cancer—and lots of it. A few days away from a bucket list trip to Japan, I’d only gone to the emergency room because the antibiotics CityMD prescribed to me when I was sick weren’t working.I didn’t want to be sick in a foreign country. So when the doctor told me of my diagnosis, the on...

Deep learning distinguishes benign from malignant BI-RADS 4A lesions
A deep-learning method could improve clinical strategies for addressing ultrasound BI-RADS 4A lesions, a study published February 20 in Clinical Breast Cancer found.
Researchers led by Mei Yi from Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, found that their deep learning model achieved higher sensitivities than those of clinical experience alone and that the performance of radiologists improved with deep-learning assistance.
“Using deep learning may guide clinicians to make precise clinical decisions and avoid overtreatment of benign lesions,” Yi and co-authors wrote.
Biopsy is typically recommended for ultraso...

Cancer incidence during pandemic lower than expected
Overall cancer incidence in the U.S. was significantly lower than expected during the first 10 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to research published February 22 in JAMA Oncology.
A team led by Krystle Lang Kuhs, PhD, from the University of Kentucky in Lexington found that cancer incidence from March to December 2020 included 134,395 potentially undiagnosed cancer cases, lower than expected.
“These findings identify a substantial deficit of diagnosed cancer cases in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which underscores the need to reengage individuals in recommended cancer screenings and routine he...

Mortgage discrimination tied to breast cancer outcomes
Mortgage discrimination is tied to breast cancer outcomes, a study published February 20 in JAMA Network Open found.
Researchers led by Jasmine Miller-Kleinhenz, PhD, from Emory University in Atlanta found that living in a historically redlined area is tied to increased odds of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer in non-Hispanic Black women and increased odds of late-stage diagnosis in non-Hispanic white women.
They also reported that persistent mortgage discrimination is tied to higher breast cancer mortality in non-Hispanic white women, while non-Hispanic Black women were more likely to die of breast cancer n...

Annual breast cancer screening starting at age 40 saves lives
Annual breast cancer screening starting at age 40 yields the most mortality reduction, according to research published February 20 in Radiology. A team led by Debra Monticciolo, MD, from Dartmouth in New Hampshire found that starting annual screening at this age and continuing to at least age 79 leads to the highest reduction in mortality with minimal risks. “We’re hoping that not just radiologists, but primary care physicians will see this and realize the benefits of annual screening and how minimal the risks really are of this life-saving technique,” Monticciolo told AuntMinnie.com. Debate continues on when an...
