stage 4 single cell carcinoma :: Article Creator Cancer Vaccine Shows Promise For Patients With Stage III And IV Kidney Cancer Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers report that all nine patients in a clinical trial being treated for stage III or IV clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a form of kidney cancer), generated a successful anti-cancer immune response after initiation of a personalized cancer vaccine. The vaccines were administered after surgery to remove the tumor and are designed to train the body's immune system to recognize and eliminate any remaining tumor cells. At the time of data cut-off (median of 34.7 months), all patients remained cancer-free. The results of this phase 1 trial were reported today in Nature. "We're very excited about these results, which show such a positive response in all nine patients with kidney cancer," says co-senior author and co-principal investigator Toni Choueiri, MD, Director of the L...

stage 1 breast cancer prognosis :: Article Creator Breast Cancer Is On The Rise: Data Reveal Drastic Gap In Survival Rates Mammograms can help to detect breast cancers early, increasing the chance of successful treatment.Credit: Eduardo Briones/Europa Press via Getty Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, but survival chances vary drastically depending on where a woman lives, a new study shows1. Using global data, the work paints a detailed picture of breast cancer trends and disparities across countries. Although wealthy nations have more diagnoses, low- and middle-income countries face higher death rates owing to limited access to early detection and treatment. "This is the best comprehensive global overview of breast cancer," says Rudolf Kaaks, a cancer epidemiologist at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. The findings — published in Nature Medicine on 24 February1 — could inform health policies w...

end stage colon cancer :: Article Creator For Cancer Patients, Oncologists Often Have The Final Word At the end of life, doctors' actions and patients' wishes may be misaligned, according to a Rutgers Health study For terminally ill cancer patients, the final days of life are immensely personal, having the choice to continue cancer treatments, or to stop treatments and prioritize a more comfortable passing. What a patient wants, however, isn't always what they receive, according to a Rutgers Health study published in the journal Cancer. "A patient's end of life is often not a reflection of what they want, but rather, who their oncologist happens to be," said Login S. George, a health services researcher at the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, and lead author of the national study. "The data doesn't indicate patient-centered treatment decisions, but rather, more habitual or d...

limited small cell lung cancer survivors :: Article Creator Updated TNM Staging System For SCLC Offers Better Predictive Power Photo Credit: Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen Researchers recently validated the ninth edition of the TNM staging system for SCLC, finding improved accuracy and predictive power. The tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system plays a critical role in the prognostic assessment and treatment decisions for lung cancer. Guidelines recommend treatment modalities for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), which accounts for approximately 10% of the global incidence of lung cancer, based on the TNM classification. The ninth edition of the TNM staging system (TNM-9) of lung cancer was presented at the 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer, but there remained a need for proper external validation of the staging system. Previously, researchers validated the TNM-9 using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (...
