💙As we observe Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we're reminded of the critical role GI endoscopy plays in both detection and treatment. 🎗️Unlike many diagnostic procedures, GI endoscopy allows clinicians to not only identify suspicious polyps but also intervene immediately. However, the challenge lies in fully addressing premalignant cases due to various factors such as polyp size and procedural complexity. ⚡️ At Mirai Medical we're proud to introduce a ground-breaking solution: our novel application of pulsed field ablation. This technology empowers clinicians with GI endoscopy skills to safely and effectively treat detected abnormalities during screening and diagnostic procedures, potentially preventing the progression to colorectal cancer. Learn more about how we're revolutionising colorectal cancer care: https://lnkd.in/e9ZzSbuV Together, let's raise awareness and advance the fight against colorectal cancer. #innovation #prevention #healthequity #colorectalcancer #colorectalcancerawareness #coloncancer #advocacy #prevention #healthadvocacy #healthpolicy #publichealth #GIEndoscopy #MedicalInnovation #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

STRATICYTE – Request the test, Proteocyte AI does the rest! Proteocyte AI’s STRATICYTE test offers accurate and objective prediction of oral cancer risk by providing a personalized risk score, which supports managing Oral Pre-cancer (OPMD) patients. Oral cancer can necessitate extensive surgery, significantly impact quality of life. Despite advancements in treatment, the 5-year overall survival rates for oral cancer have barely improved over recent decades, remaining at a concerning 50-65% in Western countries and below 20% in many other regions. In the US, someone dies from oral cancer every 45 minutes. Early prognosis and early management are critical because oral cancer, at late stages, is very difficult and costly to treat. STRATICYTE is an extensively validated, tissue-based advanced prognostic test that applies AI-driven software to predict risk of developing oral cancer. Straticyte is easy to integrate into clinical practice. No additional biopsy is required as the patient’s original biopsy tissue is used for the test. Because every lesion is unique, Straticyte provides the treating physician and patient with additional information about the lesion – an individualized risk score.  This additional information supports effective disease management and care.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 A blood test and a scan are usually done first, but other tests are often needed to diagnose ovarian cancer. You may have an ultrasound scan to see if there are changes to your ovaries. This might be done using a scanning device (the size of a finger) inserted into your vagina (transvaginal scan). Or you may have an external scan over your tummy area (abdominal scan). If your scan comes back normal, but your symptoms continue for a month or more, see a GP again. Sometimes ovaries are too small to show up on a scan, especially after the menopause. Other tests you may have include: - a CT scan - removing a small sample of cells or fluid from your ovaries (needle biopsy), - looking at your ovaries using a camera on the end of a tube through a small cut in your tummy (laparoscopy) - surgery to remove tissue or possibly your ovaries (laparotomy) 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 You should get the results of your tests within a few weeks. Call the hospital or GP if you're worried. They should be able to update you. A specialist will explain what the results mean and what will happen next. You may want to bring someone with you for support. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 Being told you have ovarian cancer can feel overwhelming. You may be feeling anxious about what will happen next. It can help to bring someone with you to any appointments you have. A team of specialists will look after you throughout your diagnosis, treatment and beyond. Your team will include a clinical nurse specialist who will be your main point of contact during and after treatment. You can ask them any questions you have. #ovariancancer #nationalovariancancerawarenessmonth

**Understanding Parathyroid Adenoma and Its Hidden Dangers** A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with left breast cancer (cT2N0M0) underwent a preoperative CT scan, which revealed a suspicious lesion near her thyroid. Further tests showed elevated calcium levels (13.7 mg/dL) and a high parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of 560 pg/mL, leading to a diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma – a benign tumor causing primary hyperparathyroidism. Even though she was asymptomatic, this condition can lead to serious complications like kidney stones, bone fractures, and pancreatitis. In fact, her CT scan revealed asymptomatic bilateral renal stones. She successfully underwent surgery to remove the parathyroid adenoma during her breast cancer surgery. Post-op, her PTH levels dropped to normal (11.2 pg/mL), and she is now recovering well. This case underscores the importance of early detection and treatment of parathyroid adenoma to prevent the silent but serious complications of hyperparathyroidism. **Key Points to Remember:** - Elevated calcium and PTH levels can indicate parathyroid adenoma. - Timely surgery can prevent complications like kidney stones and bone damage. - Even asymptomatic patients are at risk for long-term complications. If you or someone you know has elevated calcium or PTH levels, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. **Dr. Lala Robin MBBS, MS (General Surgery), DrNB (Surgical Oncology)** [Consult Dr. Lala Robin on iCliniq] https://lnkd.in/gePmPcNB #ParathyroidAdenoma #Hyperparathyroidism #KidneyStones #BoneHealth #BreastCancerAwareness #SurgicalOncology #ThyroidHealth #CalciumLevels #PreventComplications #HealthAwareness

Navigating Stomach Concerns: Understanding Stomach Cancer, Treatment Options, Symptoms, Causes, Types, Treatment Success Rate, Recovery Time, Cost etc. Stomach Cancer Surgery in India Hey there! The stomach plays a vital role in digestion, and unfortunately, cancer can sometimes affect this essential organ. Stomach cancer, though less common than some other cancers, requires a tailored approach. Let’s dive into what stomach cancer is, its potential causes, symptoms, treatment options, cost of treatment etc and who might be most susceptible. Skilled gastroenterologists, surgeons, and oncologists can work together to create a personalized treatment plan for you, considering if surgery is the best option. Beyond Upset Stomachs: Unveiling Stomach Cancer Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops when abnormal cells form in the inner lining of the stomach. These cells can grow and multiply uncontrollably, eventually forming a tumor. While stomach cancer can occur at any age, it’s more frequent in older adults.

Summary of current knowledge around pancreatic cancer rising in IPMNs here in BJS , wort a read

It's SO-ROCk'n Wednesday, and April is also National Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month. Patients with a BRCA1 mutation are at high risk of ovarian cancer. However, ~30% of high-risk individuals do not comply with recommendations for risk-reducing surgery, primarily due to the undesirable side effects of premature surgical menopause. The SOROCk trial (CC008) will determine if two surgical procedures (removing fallopian tubes or both tubes and ovaries) are similarly effective for ovarian cancer risk reduction for individuals with BRCA1 mutations. The study will also examine what factors go into deciding which surgery to have and symptoms after surgery caused by lack of estrogen due to ovary removal.
