Azurity Pharmaceuticals’ Post

2024 has been a big year in cancer prevention and screening. USPSTF changed guidelines on #breastcancer screening age, #colorectalcancer screening age and #lungcancer -- now another change from the FDA with screening and this time we're talking #densebreasttissue. The Wall Street Journal can help explain. Like Valerie, in the article, I posted about my personal concern with the "dense tissue footnote" on my mammogram results and what I learned with my own health (https://lnkd.in/gnjKp4nG) - and thanks to Color I now have the validation that I AM high risk and need to screen via MRI. So what is this new change - "The Food and Drug Administration starting Sept. 10 will require that women nationwide be notified whether their mammograms reveal dense breast tissue. Mammography reports will also encourage women to speak with doctors about their breast density and personal risk. Nearly 40 states already require that women be notified about dense breast tissue. But there isn’t consensus on what to do with such results. Many doctors encourage women with dense tissue to consider additional tests including an ultrasound or MRI. Others say further tests could lead to unnecessary procedures. Some aren’t caught up on the trade-offs." Color is more important now than ever, because 50% of women in the US have #densebreasttissue and there will be a lot of uneasy people wanting the reassurance and confirmation their screening is ACTUALLY all-clear, with nothing lurking under the cloudy white masses in their mammo scans. Validating this risk for all people with breast tissue (men included) is a step in the right direction. But we cannot allow screenable cancers, like breast cancer, to grow for 2 years unchecked. We can do better, we will do better. Color can help. #cancerawareness #breastcancer #earlydetectionsaveslives #womenshealth #healthcare https://lnkd.in/gRhunvnN

I have been involved in improving the care of women undergoing lower genital cancer workups for over 4 decades. It was obvious that the education and comforting counseling I provided took most of the time for the visit rather than the procedure; colposcopy and biopsy. I had great mentors. My observation was that women feared the pain and bleeding associated with the procedure and that it COULD be avoidable. Here is the evidence that this is something VERY important that should be appreciated: 1.

The ability to provide minimally invasive biopsy during colposcopy is a game changer moving us from early 20th century reusable steel cutting tools to safe single-use disposable (yet environmentally friendly) proprietary Kylon® brush biopsy technology. Compliance to accept more needed samples during the procedure and willingness to undergo follow up exams to assure a 'cure" is enhanced when the patient's experience releases the anxiety about the "trauma", and enhances listening about the importance of the epidemiological risks and how they can contribute to the regression of HPV related cancer(s) precursors.

The assertion that cancer research address symptoms rather than root causes is evident in cancer care options. That there is a 97% failure rate in chemotherapy according to this post and it raises concerns about the industry's focus on profit over genuine solutions. Pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers benefit from this cycle, often supported by insurance systems that prioritize treatment over prevention. Regulatory bodies appear to be caught in this cycle, often criticized for inadequate oversight. Many individuals prefer lifestyle changes for health management, resorting to stronger medications like morphine only when necessary, reflecting a desire for more holistic approaches to health management. 🙏🙏🙏

PDO... for personalized treatment...

Confirm before treating: NTTS is a unique as it allows for a predictable ablation zone as energy deposition is independent of tissue type.

I usually do not encourage any news without research. Reposting this post to take a collaborative approach in order to understand the reality of it. Any research paper, any facts in this reference are highly appreciated!!!! Lets join hands to promote humanity!!!

Colon cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., but it doesn’t have to be. Getting screened is the easiest way to significantly reduce the chances of colon cancer. In a recent survey of 2,000 Americans, 36% of respondents said they are more likely to complete an at-home test collection kit if it comes from their employer. A Labcorp ColoFIT screening program with at-home collection can help your employees get screened from the privacy and comfort of home.
