stage 3a breast cancer :: Article Creator 'I Was Diagnosed With Late-Stage Breast Cancer At 28. Six Months Later, It Came For My Sister.' On March 27, 2024, I was trying to sleep after my night shift as a paramedic when I rolled over in bed and felt a lump in my breast. I wasn't concerned about it, and neither was my primary care physician, who thought it was a fibroadenoma (non-cancerous breast tumor) or just some swelling from hormones. To be safe, I got an ultrasound. The tech who did my scan called in the radiologist, who looked at the images for a while, which I knew wasn't good. My biopsy the next week confirmed it: I had invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer. Doctors weren't sure how long it had been there, but decided to treat it as Stage III cancer and told me they thought it was curable. Many doctor's appointments later, my oncologist found that the tumor was bigger than they thought, and that it might have s...

small cell lung cancer metastasis to brain :: Article Creator Immunotherapy Regimen Proves Successful For A Patient With Advanced Lung Cancer Lung cancer remains a severe malignancy, expected to account for over 125,000 deaths in 2024.  With high rates of mortality in both males and females, lung cancer accounts for more cancer-related deaths than any other malignancy.  Advanced cases of lung cancer can metastasize to the brain, and about 20% of patients have brain metastases when diagnosed.  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a highly aggressive subtype of lung cancer, accounting for over 80% of lung cancer cases.  As NSCLC skews towards late-stage diagnoses, five-year survival rates remain around 20%.  Approximately 30 – 50% of NSCLC patients experience brain metastasis.  Due to the complexity of finding feasible therapies to reach cancer cells in the brain, NSCLC with brain metastasis presents significant clinical challenges.  In...

alveolar lung cancer :: Article Creator Scientists Discover That Special Immune Cells Stop Metastatic Cancer Metastatic disease -- when cancer spreads from the primary tumor to other parts of the body -- is the cause of most cancer deaths. While researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary site to seed new tumors, it's not well understood why some of these wayward cancer cells spawn new tumors -- sometimes decades later -- while others do not. Now, a research team at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) has discovered a natural immune mechanism in mice that stops escaped cancer cells from developing into tumors elsewhere in the body. The findings were published today in the journal Cell. "Preventing or curing metastases is the most critical challenge in cancer," said study leader Julio Aguirre-Ghiso, Ph.D., director of MECCC's Cancer Dormancy Institute. ...
