Highlights lecture EANM 2015: the search for nuclear medicine ’s superheroes
AbstractThe EANM 2015 Annual Congress, held from October 10th to 14th in Hamburg, Germany, was outstanding in many respects. With 5550 participants, this was by far the largest European congress concerning nuclear medicine. More than 1750 scientific presentations were submitted, with more than 250 abstracts from young scientists, indicating that the future success of our discipline is fuelled by a high number of young individuals becoming involved in a multitude of scientific activities. Significant improvements have been made in molecular imaging of cancer, particularly in prostate cancer. PSMA-directed PET/CT appears to ...

Cancer treatment experiences among survivors of childhood sexual abuse: A qualitative investigation of triggers and reactions to cumulative trauma.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: Some 25% of women and 8% of men in the United States have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA) before the age of 18. For these individuals, healthcare visits and interactions can be retraumatizing due to perceived similarities to past abuse (e.g., pain, undressing, lack of control). However, no prior studies have provided formal qualitative analyses regarding CSA survivors' reactions to cancer treatment. Therefore, our study's objective was to identify key themes pertaining to CSA survivors' cancer treatment experiences. METHOD: Male and female members of the Amazon Mechanical Turk (N ...

Unmet supportive care needs, health status and minimum costs in survivors of malignant melanoma
We explored the relationship between unmet care needs, health status, health utility and costs in people treated for melanoma via a cross‐sectional follow‐up survey (N = 455) 3 months to 5 years after complete resection of stage I–III cutaneous malignant melanoma. 51% (n = 232) had unmet care needs. This group had higher mean resource use, estimated conservatively (£28 vs. £10 per person) and worse overall health. Mean health‐related utility index (AQoL6D) was 0.763 (95% CI 0.74; 0.79) in those with self‐reported unmet need vs. 0.903 (0.89; 0.92) in those with no unmet need. Melanoma survivors with unmet ...

Chemiexcitation and Its Implications for Disease.
Abstract Quantum mechanics rarely extends to molecular medicine. Recently, the pigment melanin was found to be susceptible to chemiexcitation, in which an electron is chemically excited to a high-energy molecular orbital. In invertebrates, chemiexcitation causes bioluminescence; in mammals, a higher-energy process involving melanin transfers energy to DNA without photons, creating the lethal and mutagenic cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer that can cause melanoma. This process is initiated by NO and O2- radicals, the formation of which can be triggered by ultraviolet light or inflammation. Several chronic diseases share...

The value of novel immuno-oncology treatments.
CONCLUSIONS: The novel I-O treatments studied here generate substantial survival gains and, thus, social value. Less than half of this value accrued to the pharmaceutical manufacturer as sales revenue. PMID: 30586486 [PubMed - in process]

Cost differential of immuno-oncology therapy delivered at community versus hospital clinics.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with I-O therapies in community practice is associated with a lower total cost of care compared with that in hospital-based outpatient practices. With the expanding indications of these agents, future research is needed. PMID: 30875173 [PubMed - in process]

Intramedullary spinal cord metastases of malignant melanoma: A rare case report on paraplegia in palliative care
Rutula Sonawane, Arunangshu Ghoshal, Anuja Damani, MaryAnn Muckaden, Jayita K DeodharIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2019 25(3):468-470 Rates of malignant melanoma have been increasing in frequency. Studies have shown that up to 46% of patients with melanoma will experience metastases to the central nervous system. Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of malignant melanoma is rare. In advanced cancers, surgery might not be possible, and radiotherapy with corticotherapy is a viable option. In the following case, a 54-year-old male presented to the clinic with an intramedullary tumor in the D1 region. He was s...
