I am thrilled to have attended today's webinar, "Advances in Pancreatic SBRT with the cyberknife system," by AEx. The following were critical points noted; >Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer is an advanced radiotherapy technique that delivers high-dose fractions of radiation precisely to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. >This method is particularly advantageous given the pancreas' proximity to critical structures such as the stomach, intestines, and liver. >SBRT is typically used in cases where the pancreatic cancer is locally advanced or borderline resectable. It is also an option for patients who cannot undergo surgery due to other health conditions. >The treatment involves delivering a few high-dose fractions of radiation over a short period, usually five sessions or fewer, compared to traditional radiotherapy, which may require many weeks of daily treatments. One of the main benefits of SBRT is its precision, which reduces the risk of damage to nearby organs and tissues. This precision is achieved through advanced imaging techniques and sophisticated technology to guide the radiation beams. >However, SBRT is not without risks. Potential side effects can include fatigue, nausea, and gastrointestinal issues, although these are often less severe than with traditional radiotherapy. Thanks to the Accuracy Exchange Community for these informative webinars. #accuracyexchange #cyberknife #SBRT #RTT

What Are the Specific Benefits to Breast Cancer Patients? Breast cancer patients who have had skin and blood vessel damage, as a result of radiotherapy or surgeries, including mastectomy and breast reconstruction, can benefit significantly from HBOT treatments. Blood vessels can become narrowed and scarred in areas that have been irradiated. This can cause tissue damage months or even years after radiation therapy. Skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures can also lead to skin loss or mastectomy flap necrosis. HBOT can be a transformative treatment in these types of circumstances. Dr. Enoch Huang, MD, of online information website Hyperbaric Aware points out: "HBO2 is able to reverse some of the effects of radiation therapy by stimulating blood vessel growth in previously irradiated tissue. This can (also) be used before and after surgery to increase the chance of healing.

Cervix uteri cancer, primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), affects women globally. Early detection through screening is vital for effective treatment. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. With proper management and care, many women with cervical cancer can achieve positive outcomes and improved quality of life. Signs of cervix uteri cancer listed point-wise: Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding Pelvic Pain Pain During Intercourse Abnormal Vaginal Discharge Advanced Symptoms Masina Hospital provides comprehensive care for cervix uteri cancer, offering advanced diagnostic screenings, personalized treatment plans, and access to experienced oncologists and gynecologic surgeons. With a multidisciplinary approach, Masina ensures timely intervention, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and supportive therapies, to optimize patient outcomes and well-being. #CervixuteriCancer #Cancer #MasinaCares

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Long-Term Outcomes of Adjuvant Therapy in the ESPAC4 Phase III Trial out on JCO The ESPAC4 trial analyzed long-term survival outcomes of patients with resected #PancreaticCancer treated with either gemcitabine or a combination of gemcitabine plus capecitabine (GemCap). With a median follow-up of 104 months, GemCap showed a significant overall survival (OS) benefit over gemcitabine alone, with median OS of 31.6 months versus 28.4 months, respectively (HR 0.83, p=0.031). Particularly, R0 patients (those with no residual tumor after surgery) had a notable survival advantage with GemCap, achieving a median OS of 49.9 months compared to 32.2 months with gemcitabine (HR 0.63, p=0.002). Additionally, lymph node-negative patients on GemCap had improved 5-year OS rates. The study suggests that GemCap is an effective adjuvant therapy, especially for patients not eligible for the more intensive mFOLFIRINOX regimen.

What is MRD testing, and what is it used for? #MRD (minimal residual disease) testing indicates whether tiny numbers of cancer cells are left in the body after surgery or other treatment. These cells can be too few to detect via traditional imaging, but without additional treatment, they can multiply and lead to recurrence. MRD testing can be used to help: • Determine a patient’s risk of recurrence after surgery or other treatment • Identify patients who may benefit from adjuvant therapy or additional treatment • Monitor a patient’s disease while on treatment • Monitor patients for recurrence after treatment Haystack MRD™ was purpose-built to identify residual cancer cells through a noninvasive liquid biopsy (blood) test that detects circulating tumor DNA (#ctDNA)—fragments of DNA that are released by tumor cells into the bloodstream. With unparalleled sensitivity, Haystack MRD identifies residual or recurrent disease earlier so that a patient can receive any necessary treatment, or achieve peace of mind, sooner.

After a multidisciplinary team review, Justine underwent a mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Dr Dusseldorp detailed the complex reconstruction process that followed, including a bilateral DIEP flap procedure. This is a modern breast reconstruction technique that uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen while sparing the abdominal muscles, resulting in reduced abdominal wall injury, less weakness, and a quicker recovery.   Justine also chose sensation reconstruction, a technique aimed at restoring feeling in her breasts. This added 30 minutes to her eight-hour surgery but resulted in a significant improvement in sensation, helping her feel more connected to her body. “They just feel part of me now,” she said.   As evidence of the sensory benefits continues to grow, more plastic surgeons are likely to incorporate sensation reconstruction into their DIEP flap procedures. Patient advocates are also raising awareness about the issue of numbness after mastectomy, urging a shift towards incorporating sensory preservation in standard reconstruction practices.   With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is imperative to share patient experiences, as the future success of this technique relies on continued advocacy and the widespread sharing of successful outcomes.

Optimizing neoadjuvant immunotherapy before surgery can significantly enhance outcomes for patients with metastatic melanoma, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for additional adjuvant treatments post-surgery. By tailoring treatment based on individual responses to neoadjuvant therapy, healthcare providers can not only improve event-free survival rates but also potentially minimize treatment duration and costs, offering a more personalized and effective approach to cancer care. #ImmunotherapySuccess #PersonalizedTreatment #CancerCare #NeoadjuvantTherapy #HealthcareInnovation BioMedHack.com is your leading source for the latest news, breakthroughs, and insights in medicine, biohacking, and alternative medicine.

Bile duct cancer is a rare, aggressive form of cancer. It often affects adults in their 70s and has spread beyond the bile ducts by the time healthcare providers diagnose it. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
