SRT Protocols?
I have problem with my PPO insurance as they partially approved my SRT treatment at "USC Noris cancer center" so I have to pay the "facility fees". The Blue Shield California said that the same treatment is available at Adventist Health Glendale, and regarding my 6 months Firmagone injections they said

Dominant-negative PD1-armored CART cells induce remission in refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients
Background: The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatment has been demonstrated as an effective therapy to relapse/refractory B cell malignancy. However, tumor microenvironment influences and affects CAR T treatment. For example, programmed death ligand 1/2 (PDL1/2) may inhibit the CAR T cells

Dermatologist says it’s just a routine apt. After saying it was skin cancer.
We have been waiting for an apt. At the hospital expecting it within 2 weeks but on chasing the apt. Found it had been put forward as routine and is scheduled for 6 weeks. Should we wait for that or get a second opinion. When the visiting dermatologist saw my daughter she told her it was likely to need

Resuming nutritional supplements after radiation therapy
I just finished 33 RT treatments last Friday. Those treatments were aimed at the 4 lymph nodes that were detected during my PSMA scan in January. The PSMA scan took place within a clinical study at Yale and was initiated due to BCR of my G9 PCa. In addition to the RT, I've been on ADT (Firmagon) and

Hyperthyroidism and hypopituitarism: two incompatible diagnoses?
This is a moderately interesting case report. However, the reason I am posting is mostly to do with the comment that Graves (Hyperthyroidism) and hypopituitarism are not mutually exclusive. Just why would anyone ever suggest they are mutually exclusive? Entirely different mechanisms. Just because the

No biopsy possible
Hi there. I just wondered if there is anyone out there who has not been able to give biopsy tissue because the tumour(s) were either inaccessible or were sitting too near either main blood vessels or other risky areas. I have had two operations to remove two tumours. One operation removed aright lobe

Traditional Radiation therapy -- used everywhere/Proton Radiation therapy more targeted, safer --only in five or six centers in the U.S.
Persons prescribed radiation therapy need to know the difference between photon and proton. The proton radiation does not burn you all the way in and beyond the target. If possible refuse the traditional radiation and choose the other. Its been around for about 30 years, though some insuraqnces claim

ADT and PSA levels
Hi All, I just wanted some advice. We saw the radiologist yesterday to start a treatment plan for my partner. We had so much information that we forgot to ask him to elaborate on something he said. He said there is no research reported benefit from being on ADT for 18 months as compared to 6 months
