Optical Biopsy to Spot Tumors Among Healthy Tissue
Researchers at Orel State University in Russia have developed a biopsy system that can distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue in many clinical cases. The device is designed to address the difficulties that clinicians may experience when trying to obtain a biopsy of a liver tumor, where it can be difficult to know if the needle is in the correct location with small, early-stage tumors. The system uses a combination of lifetime fluorescence measurements and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to identify a tumor.
Obtaining a tumor biopsy is an important first step in identifying its characteristics, allowing clinic...

Granulosa Cell Tumour: CT
Granulosa cell tumours on are typically slow-growing, predominantly solid masses with variable amounts of cystic change and intratumoral hemorrhage. Oestrogenic effects on the uterus may manifest as uterine enlargement or as endometrial thickening or carcinoma. GCT is distinct from other ovarian carcinomas in their hormonal activity; their ability to secrete estrogen, inhibin, and M üllerian inhibiting substance.Famous Radiology Blog http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com

Breast Cancer Screening: We Can Do Better
The three risk assessment tools now in use fall far short. Using the latest deep learning techniques, investigators are developing more personalized ways to locate women at high risk.John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform, and Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform, wrote this article.The promise of personalized medicine will eventually allow clinicians to offer individual patients more precise advice on prevention, early detection and treatment. Of course, the operative word iseventually.A closer examination of the screening tools available to detect breast c...

This study aimed to determine the association between: (i) cognitive decline and bone loss; and (ii) clinically significant cognitive decline on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) over the first 5 years and subsequent fracture risk over the following 10 years. A total of 1741 women and 620 men aged ≥65 years from the population-based Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study were followed from 1997 to 2013. Over 95% of participants had normal cognition at baseline. After multivariable adjustment, cognitive decline was associated with bone loss in women but not men. Approximately 13% of participants experienced sign...

BAFT Upregulation Makes T Cells Resistant to Exhaustion
When faced with long-lasting challenges, such as cancer or persistent infections that the immune system struggles to clear, T cells of the adaptive immune system can become exhausted. The exhausted cells lose function, diminishing both the immediate immune response and the ability to form immune memory that will enable a robust future response to the same threat. Researchers see this in the engineered T cells used in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies, and there is thus a strong incentive to find ways to address the issue by identifying important causes or regulators of T cell exhaustion, and interfering to p...

Heart Failure Correlates with Increased Cancer Risk
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/07/heart-failure-correlates-with-increased-cancer-risk/
Age-related disease results from the underlying cell and tissue damage that causes aging. Different people accumulate that damage at modestly different rates, the result of lifestyle choices and exposure to infectious disease. Thus the presence of a sufficient burden of damage to produce one age-related disease will be accompanied by a...

Heart Failure Correlates with Increased Cancer Risk
Age-related disease results from the underlying cell and tissue damage that causes aging. Different people accumulate that damage at modestly different rates, the result of lifestyle choices and exposure to infectious disease. Thus the presence of a sufficient burden of damage to produce one age-related disease will be accompanied by a raised risk of other age-related conditions. The conditions themselves need not have any direct relationship with one another, but can be distinct outcomes of the same root causes. Here, however, researchers propose that heart failure may provoke increased cancer risk via inflammatory and ot...

Calorie Restriction as an Adjuvant Cancer Treatment
Calorie restriction and intermittent fasting have been extensively studied in the context of aging, and most of the age-slowing interventions so far tested in animal studies are derived in some way from a knowledge of the stress response mechanisms triggered by a lowered calorie intake. The long term effects of calorie restriction and fasting in short-lived species are quite different from those in long-lived species: only the short-lived species exhibit a meaningful extension of life span, as much as 40% in mice. Yet the short-term effects on metabolism and cellular mechanisms are very similar. The beneficial response to ...

Evaluation of the Surgical Specimen After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy
ConclusionPostneoadjuvant systemic therapy histopathological changes are complex, and careful systematic review of the specimen is required for accurate diagnosis and follow-up treatment. For pathological complete response to be used as an indicator of response to novel therapies, it is essential to have a standardized way in which residual disease is measured and reported. We designed the recommendations specifically for the clinical trial setting; however, they can be optionally incorporated into routine practice because, in our opinion, standardization is most effective when uniformly applied. Hopefully, such standardiz...

Stomach Cancer Stage 4 Treatment
Stomach cancer stage 4 is a complex diagnosis. It is the stage of cancer that requires specific treatment options.
Is surgery an option for patients with stomach cancer stage 4?
Stage 4 stomach cancer is characterized by rapid tumor growth, metastasizing to regional lymph nodes and distant organs (liver, bones, pancreas, less often lungs). With the development of metastases in other organs, characteristic symptoms occur such as jaundice and liver failure with liver damage, ascites with metastases in the peritoneum, bowel obstruction with metastases in the small intestine, etc.
Therefore, at the advanced stages, ga...
