Dahleen Glanton  |  Chicago Tribune It appears that Rush Limbaugh is dying. He announced on his radio show Monday that his lung cancer had gotten worse and is "going in the wrong direction." I have never cared for Limbaugh's kind of politics. I've always felt like the right-wing talk radio host's sole purpose was to further polarize America and push conservatives further away from a middle ground. In spite of that, I am saddened that his cancer is terminal. I would like to see his condition turn around, but he doesn't seem to think that it will.

Environmentalists who accused an East Oakland iron pipe company in December of spewing cancer-causing chemicals into the air in surrounding neighborhoods filed a new lawsuit Tuesday accusing regulators of ignoring the problem and failing to consult members of the public. In the suit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, Communities for a Better Environment again accused AB&I Foundry of polluting the low-income neighborhood near the Oakland Coliseum withcarcinogenic emissions that cause headaches, dizziness and nausea. They also alleged that the Bay Area Air Quality Management District had worsened conditions by giving the foundry six more years to comply with clean-air standards it was originally supposed to meet by the end of this year, and by failing to request or accept comments from the public. AB&I, formerly called American Brass & Iron, was also sued in February b...

[embedded content] The prostate (not prostrate ) is a small, rubbery gland about the size of a ping-pong ball, located deep inside the groin, between the base of the penis and the rectum. It is important for reproduction, because it supplies part of the seminal fluid (semen), which mixes with sperm from the testes. Seminal fluid helps the sperm to travel and survive. The more you know about the prostate, its normal development and function, where it's located, and what it's attached to, the better you can understand how prostate cancer develops and impacts a man's life over time—due either to cancer growth, or as a result of treatments.

The seminal vesicles are rabbit-eared structures that sit on top of the prostate and store and secrete a large portion of the ejaculate.

In the second interview of this series, Ben Creelan, MD , Associate Member at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa, Florida, reviews clinical trial data and explains the rationale of using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Targeted Oncology™: What have you learned about tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in melanoma? Ben Creelan, MD: I was fortunate to go to ESMO [European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2022] this year where John Haanen [MD, PhD] was presenting data from a randomized open-label phase 3 trial, where metastatic melanoma patients who had progressed on previous anti–PD-1 therapy were randomized to either our gold standard since 2011, ipilimumab, given at a standard dose every three weeks for four doses, or TIL cell therapy. It was actually quite surprising to me that there was a significant difference in progression-free survival and a trend in overall survival between the tw...

When it comes to red flags around breast cancer, most women know that feeling a new lump in your breast is a reason to seek medical attention immediately. But as it turns out, a rash is also something to be mindful of. This is due to the fact that some breast cancers are inflammatory and manifest in the form of a breast cancer rash. As with any cancer or disease, early detection is important — and many forms of breast cancer are treatable if they're caught early enough. Here's everything you need to know about a breast cancer rash from symptoms of a breast infection to diagnosing a rash. What is a breast cancer rash? "When we think about skin changes associated with breast cancer it could be because the cancer is either invading or growing through the skin or inflammatory breast cancer," explains Dr. Michele Ley, a breast surgical oncologist at Arizona Oncology. "There are other skin conditions that can occur on the breast just as they can occur elsewhere i...
