TNBC and recurrence
I am 47 and have undergone MRM for TNBC grade 3 stage 2A node negative a year back. I had 4 Epirubicin + 4 Paclitaxel chemo cycles. A PET scan at the time of surgery had not revealed any metastases. With TNBC, the sceptre of recurrence always looms large. A few studies about aspirin, taurine and turmeric

Nanotech Methods May Be the Future of Cancer Treatment
At Rice University they are blowing up cancer cells with nanoparticle "bombs." Like integrative immunotherapy, the new cancer-fighting technique kills cancer cells without harming surrounding healthy cells. Experimental trials have been so successful in destroying aggressive and resistant cancer cells

Rebecca Bechhold, MD has just blogged on the Cancer Network about the different and all equally right approaches of approaching cancer treatment. While written for medicos, it is still a relevant read for those of us facing treatment: http://www.cancernetwork.com/blog/nobodys-poster-child (Free membership

FISH Results; Co-existance of Trisomy 12 & 13q deletion
Hello, I have been recently diagnosed with CLL and have received the results of my bone marrow biopsy and FISH test. "These FISH studies detected Trisomy 12 and deletion of one or both 13q loci in 40% of interphase nuclei." I haven't been able to find much information on the significance of having

Tried lots of oral drugs, where do i go now?
Rhumy says that studies are now showing it's inconclusive if biologics cause an increase in
lymphomas
. What do you think? Any suggestions of other meds to talk to my rhumy about? Any experience with biologics? Other side effects of them?

News flash—the way most oncologists create income is by giving chemotherapy

Help, FCR OR BR?
My oncologist has telephoned me today giving me an option of either FCR or BR. As I am 11q del I thought I had only one option! She told me that the FLAIR trial will be starting in 6-8 weeks time but as my WBC is at 387 and my Hg is 95 she would like me to start treatment now. I am 52 years old now and

CT scan series part 10 - Clinical Trial CT scan Context
CT scan series part 10 - Clinical Trial CT scan Context There is solid rationale for CT-scanning in a Clinical Trial setting that cannot be avoided but is it adequate or overkill? Who decides? There are so many newer drugs that promise better efficacy with less toxicity that it is hard to keep up with

ASH 2013: Dr. John Pagel Discusses Radio-Immune Therapy (RIT) in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
This is the model that has been successfully deployed in other
lymphomas
, but not in CLL. More interviews to come from ASH as I get ready for ASCO 2014. If you haven't already, please check out Dr. Sharman's latest post on his crazy schedule at the upcoming ASCO http://www.cll-nhl.com .

CT scan series part 5 – A bit about CT scanners
Let's first define some terms. I don't want to lose you in the detail of sievert (Sv) vs gray (Gy) as units of radiation measurement because there is no meaningful way you can calculate your individual risk based on adding up sources of ionizing radiation. Any assessment of risk must be done by statistical

CT scan series part 4 - Everything needs context
But aren't we living with ionizing radiation all the time so what's the big deal? Correct, the average yearly exposure of a US resident is 3 to 3.2 mSv (milli sievert). Brian Koffman who spends much of his time at 30 thousand feet flying all over the place to bring us great interviews is probably getting

Has anyone here successfully treated Diffuse Large B Cell lymphoma using CVP-R, minus the Vincristine?
My mother had one round of CHOP-R, but it affected her heart so adversely the doctor won't administer it anymore as he is afraid she might not survive through it. (So, she will continue with CVP-R, minus the Vincristine.) As a result he says we are no longer treating to cure, but to relieve symptoms

There's lots happening in Adoptive T-cell transfer technology cancer research - CAR-T being just one aspect
When Dr Carl June of the University of Pennsylvania, used chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology to provide an amazing cure in a CAR-T trial in 2011 for three CLL patients that had pretty well run out of options http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/News_Releases/2011/08/t-cells/ there were valid concerns

SLL and prognostic indicators
I'm reading articles which suggest that the chromosomal abnormalities of SLL are different from CLL, most especially absence of 17p del and prevalence of Trisomy 12. Does anyone know anything about this?
