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...

PET/CT scans ‘crucial’ in patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma
PET/CT has significant advantages over conventional methods for lesion detection and staging in patients with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, according to a study published December 18 in Heliyon.In a retrospective analysis, a team in Taiyuan, China, found that F-18 FDG-PET/CT was superior for analyzing imaging manifestations of NK/T-cell lymphoma and suggested that the scans can improve treatment plans for patients.“F-18 FDG-PET/CT scanning is crucial in identifying tumor lesions, determining staging, and devising treatment strategies for individuals diagnosed with NK/T-cell lymphoma,” wrote lead author Huixia Geng, M...

PET/CT predicts patient responses to CAR-T cell therapy
F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans may predict outcomes in patients with large B cell lymphoma undergoing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, according to a presentation delivered November 30 at RSNA. Doris Leithner, MD, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, presented a study in which researchers explored whether F-18 FDG-PET/CT imaging features acquired prior to treatment with CAR T-cell therapy were related to patient outcomes. They found the imaging features were strongly associated with death, relapse, and disease progression.“Our results demonstrate that quantitative PET imaging features in LBCL...

BOSTON (AP) — Boston firefighter Daniel Ranahan had heard about colleagues getting cancer but he was stunned when doctors discovered a tumor in his chest.

After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze during a press conference this month, the Kentucky Republican’s second such episode this summer, his office released a note from the Capitol physician intended to calm those worried about his ability to continue at his job.
