Tumor Lysis Syndrome: What ( CLL ) Patients Need to Know (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society podcast)
As cancer cells are dying off, either spontaneously or in response to
chemotherapy
, a number of electrolytes, including phosphate and uric acid end up in the bloodstream and can end up precipitating in the kidneys and ultimately causing a lot of organ dysfunction.

The human microbiome links to prostate cancer risk and treatment (Review)
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), hormone therapy and
chemotherapy
are also effective in male patients with Pca (8). However, certain patients progress to castration‑resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 2‑3 years after starting ADT treatment, resulting in a poor prognosis (9).

Health tips for first round of radio and chemo
my 76 yrs old mum was recently diagnosed with grade 4 brain tumour which was 90% removed this wk by craniotomy. She tolerated the craniotomy very well and was discharged the next day after surgery. Some numbness to left side but this was there prior to surgery and appears to have stayed the same thankfully

I need help with my attitude
So I haven’t written in a bit because I have been waiting to find out what my next line of treatment is. ( Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about med change). Ibrance stopped working after a year and a half and Everolimus didn’t work at all. I am waiting to find out if I qualify
