Caris
I looked it up and my understanding is it’s a test done on the tumor from
biopsy
but not sure what it will tell my oncologist that she doesn’t already know. Any idea?

Laparoscopy oophorectomy
I now have a 2 week wait for results of endometrioma and omental
biopsy
, if positive then I will have a radical hysterectomy in 2 weeks.I have never had a lap before but I have bruising at top of inside of my legs, I know the surgeon had to make an extra incision because the cyst had attached itself

Latest Update to Here We Go Again
The
biopsy
was August 17, and when it came back as cancer I had already scheduled my annual trip to visit my cousin in Florida. My mind was already made up that I would go to see Kim, regardless of the results.

Liquid Biopsy
Therefore, I'm wondering if a liquid
biopsy
that tests for circulating tumor cells might make sense.

Lung
biopsy
and gene tests confirmed ordinary adenocarcinoma. He was immediately given Firmagon (which then moved to Lupron), had SRT radiation to his two brain lesions, and was started on Docetaxal. Zytiga was added halfway through chemo. Last PSA was in the 3’s.

Diagnosed with Adenosquamous lung cancer
I've been diagnosed with T4 N3 M1b Adenosquamous lung cancer ("predominantly adenocarcinoma with some squamous features" according to the
biopsy
) and am due to see the oncologist next week to discuss possible treatments.

Hysterectomy
What are the chances of the NHS giving me a hysterectomy? I'm fed up of being in pain all the time. Over the last 18 years I have tried the implant, injection, chemical menopause for 6 months, the coil and the patch. With each contraceptive the symptoms due down but then come back and ultimately now

weighing treatment options
Several nodes with SUVmax >5 and a few >10 prompted
biopsy
. No Richter’s! But because of additional risk factors it’s time to start treatment.

New to cancer
He had a
biopsy
on Friday and he is now home after 5 days in the hospital. He has only been unwell for 3 weeks with unexplained weight loss for 5. So no plan and no treatment yet. I am. It even sure about the extent of the cancer. He is very tired and wants to sleep all the time.

Avoiding a Biopsy
A 79-year-old friend with a PSA of 12 (was 6 two years ago) does not want to get a
biopsy
for various reasons. He is considering getting an MRI instead. How much will that tell him? I got a
biopsy
when it was recommended so am not clear on how much one can learn from MRI of the prostate.

Opinion?
Newly diagnosed, Gleason 9, PSA about 40 at
biopsy
, aggressive, PET shows low burden, two bone mets. At my age 82, although health "very good", Onc wants to avoid chemo. Just started on Casodex and will add Lupron, until PSA under control then add (switch to?)

I've had my right lung punctured 3 times due to lung
biopsy
complications. In adulthood my asthma has generally been very well controlled outside of these incidents and during the pandemic I had great lung health, with no infections. I've never smoked.

The potential of using circulating tumour cells and their gene expression to predict docetaxel response in metastatic PCa: 14 Dec 2022.
Liquid
biopsy
of circulating tumour cell (CTCs) is minimally invasive, can provide real-time tumour information of the heterogeneous tumour and therefore may be a potentially ideal docetaxel response prediction biomarker.

Mastecomy tomorrow update and new question
I had my 2 week post op appointment with the surgeon Friday and she had the
biopsy
report...sooner than she had been expecting. The news was not great, although I was expecting it, since I had had the lump for more than 2 years (had been told it was a cyst and nothing to worry about!)

Pomi-T vs Pom Juice
POMI-T Methods The researchers recruited 203 men aged 53 to 89 years with prostate cancer proven by

. 59% of the men had not yet undergone any treatment and were being followed closely with periodic PSA tests (Active surveillance), while 41% had already had a radical intervention (radiotherapy

2nd biopsy, just started on prednisolone. Dietary help pls.
So my doctor had just started me on 25mg of prednisolone indefinitely due to the inflammation (in my kidneys?) as a result of my igA nephropathy acting more aggressively on my body. I am taking effort to abide by a low protein diet at 0.8g/protein/kg body weight per day. Aside from feeling very hungry

An alarming visit: Rheumy suggested infusing with 500 mg per day for 4 days after I've already been tapering for 4 months
Hi all, I'm a GCA patient, diagnosed in AUG via a positive Temporal Artery
Biopsy
. I started on 60 mg for 2 weeks, then 50 for 2 weeks, etc. down to 20 mg at which I've been holding for about 5 weeks.

Tests - NK cells bloods or biopsy \ Chicago blood screening -North East
Can anyone offer and advice on NK cells tests and if it should be by
biopsy
or bloods. I’m getting conflicting information and don’t know which is best. I would obviously prefer the bloods and could possibly get these done closer to home.
