Contemporary treatment with radiosurgery for spine metastasis and spinal cord compression in 2015.

With the progress of image-guided localization, body immobilization system, and computerized delivery of intensity-modulated radiation delivery, it became possible to perform spine radiosurgery. The next question is how to translate the high technology treatment to the clinical application. Clinical trials have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of spine radiosurgery and efficacy of the treatment in the setting of spine metastasis, leading to the randomized trials by a cooperative group. Radiosurgery has also demonstrated its efficacy to decompress the spinal cord compression in sel

Risk factors and time to symptomatic presentation in leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

BackgroundUK policy aims to improve cancer outcomes by promoting early diagnosis, which for many haematological malignancies is particularly challenging as the pathways leading to diagnosis can be difficult and prolonged.MethodsA survey about symptoms was sent to patients in England with acute leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Symptoms and barriers to first help seeking were examined for each subtype, along with the relative risk of waiting >3 months' time from symptom onset to first presentation to a doctor

Approaches to Managing Safety With Lenalidomide in Hematologic Malignancies.

Lenalidomide is an oral immunomodulatory agent approved in relapsed multiple myeloma with dexamethasone, for transfusion-dependent anemia in myelodysplastic syndrome associated with deletion 5q, and in relapsed/progressive mantle cell lymphoma following bortezomib. In recent clinical trials, lenalidomide has shown promising activity in hematologic malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Starting doses and dosing schedules vary by malignancy, with lenalidomide started at a lower dose for CLL than for NHL or multiple myeloma. Certain adverse eve

Tumor Whole-Genome Sequencing for Prediction of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Metastasized Solid Cancer.

BACKGROUND: International guidelines suggest prophylactic anticoagulation for patients with cancer at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Here, we evaluated whether tumor whole-genome sequencing data may improve the selection of high-risk patients. METHODS: In a pan-cancer cohort of 3087 patients, associations of candidate clinical predictors, the germline extended 297-single nucleotide polymorphism polygenic risk score, tumor mutational characteristics, and somatic tumor mutations with VTE were estimated by calculating hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS: During 12-month follow-up, 237 (7.7

A Case of Syphilis with High Bone Arsenic Concentration from Early Modern Cemetery (Wroclaw, Poland).

Venereal syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum - Gram-negative, slowly growing bacteria. The spread of the disease in the Old World was due to increased birth rate, urban population growth, migration and lack of knowledge concerning the epidemiology.

Effects of Carbon Nanomaterials and Aloe vera on Melanomas-Where Are We? Recent Updates.

Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that affects approximately 140,000 people worldwide each year, with a high fatality rate. Available treatment modalities show limited efficacy in more severe cases. Hence, the search for new treatment modalities, including immunotherapies, for curing, mitigating, and/or preventing cancer is important and urgently needed. Carbon nanoparticles associated with some plant materials, such as Aloe vera, have shown appealing antineoplastic activity, derived mainly from the compounds aloin, aloe-emodin, barbaloin acemannan, and octapeptide, thus representing new p

Neuropathic cancer pain: What we are dealing with? How to manage it?

Cancer pain is a serious health problem, and imposes a great burden on the lives of patients and their families. Pain can be associated with delay in treatment, denial of treatment, or failure of treatment. If the pain is not treated properly it may impair the quality of life. Neuropathic cancer pain (NCP) is one of the most complex phenomena among cancer pain syndromes. NCP may result from direct damage to nerves due to acute diagnostic/therapeutic interventions. Chronic NCP is the result of treatment complications or malignancy itself. Although the reason for pain is different in NCP and non

Determinants of Adverse Events in Patients with Cancer Who Practiced Self-Medication: A Cross-Sectional Study in Southwestern Uganda.

BackgroundCancer therapies have been the cornerstone in cancer care. Co-morbidities and Adverse Events (AEs) often encourage some patients with cancer to resort to self-medication in search of relief or better symptom management. While self-medication is a key aspect of self-care and may offer some relief, it also poses risks, especially the potential for AEs. Limited data exist in Uganda, particularly at the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) Cancer Unit, regarding the prevalence and determinants of AEs.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence and factors associated with AEs among self-med

Obesity Pillars roundtable: Excessive weight reduction with highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOMs).

BackgroundHistorically, many anti-obesity medications (AOMs) were withdrawn from development and/or the market due to safety concerns. Another challenge was that, with some exceptions, most of these AOMs had limited weight reducing efficacy. Approved AOMs often did not meet the weight reduction expectations of either clinicians, or their patients. Currently, newer approved and investigational AOMs achieve greater weight reduction than older AOMs. This has prompted an emerging new challenge of "too much weight loss" with some of these highly effective anti-obesity medications (heAOM) - somethin

Supportive Care and Symptom Management for Patients With Immunoglobulin Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis.

Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a disorder of clonal plasma cells characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils in a variety of tissues, leading to end-organ injury. Renal or cardiac involvement is most common, though any organ outside the central nervous system can develop amyloid deposition, and symptomatic presentations may consequently vary. The variability and subtlety of initial clinical presentations may contribute to delayed diagnoses, and organ involvement is often quite advanced and symptomatic by the time a diagnosis is established. Additionally, while organ function
