#Desmoid tumors are rare, locally aggressive soft tissue tumors that are diagnosed in 1000-1650 new patients in the United States each year. Help raise #DesmoidAwareness and ensure that we keep progress moving forward for patients and caregivers this #DesmoidTumorAwarenessMonth.

The TARFACT procedure offers a potential palliative option for minimally invasive therapy in patients with cardiac tumors who are ineligible for surgical resection or chemotherapy. As a palliative intervention, TARFACT effectively reduces tumor size, restores impaired hemodynamics in carefully selected patients, and alleviates clinical symptoms. https://bit.ly/3TzUjdS #JACCCardioOnc #CardioOnc

When treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), oncologists do everything in their power to maximize overall survival (OS). In addition, other measures like minimizing BLEEDING RISK also need to be effectively addressed. Depending on therapy, patients may require prior screening for varices. This could potentially delay treatment initiation. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eDkzXC29. #ExploreHCC #EveryMeasureMatters

Aligned with clinical practice observations: Patients with invasive lobular cancinoma (ILC) survive better in early years but worse in later years compared to patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). https://lnkd.in/dV8ydn64

A study (DOI: 10.1097/SLE.0000000000001270) involving 58 patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma indicates that unilateral radioactive stents not only provide longer stent patency (202 vs. 119 days) and overall survival (229 vs. 122 days) but also show comparable rates of stent restenosis with bilateral normal stents (19.3% vs. 9.3%). These findings could guide clinical decision-making for palliative care, suggesting a potential preference for unilateral radioactive stent placement. Continued research is necessary to confirm these outcomes and establish best practices. #MedicalResearch #OncologyInnovation #PalliativeCare #RadiationTherapy #SurvivalStatistics

Penile cancer happens when malignant cells in your penis grow out of control. Penile cancer in the U.S. is rare, but you should see your healthcare provider if you notice changes in your penis, like a lump or discoloration.
