“In melanoma, Prof Long and her team discovered that immunotherapy works better when a combination of drugs is used, and when they are administered before any surgery to remove a tumour. And so, Prof Scolyer last year became the first brain cancer patient to ever have combination, pre-surgery immunotherapy. He is also the first to be administered a vaccine personalised to his tumour's characteristics, which boosts the cancer-detecting powers of the drugs. The results so far have generated huge excitement - and optimism that the duo may be on the cusp of a discovery which could help the roughly 300,000 people diagnosed with brain cancer globally each year.”-great news, wishing prof Scolyer the best of health. #braincancer #glioblastoma #vaccinedevelopment #cancer #immunotherapy #cancerresearch

Help your patients relieve their challenging BPH symptoms with a minimally invasive procedure. Following the UroLift System procedure, most patients experience minimal downtime (1) and benefit from the lowest catheterization rate of leading BPH procedures. (1-6) See this example of the UroLift System with Advanced Tissue Control (ATC) successfully creating an open urethral channel. 1. Shore, Can J Urol 2014 2. Roehrborn, Can J Urol 2017 3.

A sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that begins in the bones and in the softer connective tissues in the body. Sarcomas that begin in the bones are called “bone cancer,“ and sarcomas that form in the tissues, including muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and the lining of joints, are called “soft tissue sarcoma.“ #treatmetoday #sarcoma #awareness

Ophthopedia Update:Bilateral Diffuse Uveal Melanocytic Proliferation with Oral Mucosal Pigmentation: A 54-year-old man presented with blurred vision. His medical history was significant for metastatic lung cancer. At presentation, his vision was 20/40 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed multiple choroidal nevi-like melanocytic tumors and subtle, round, orange-red subretinal patches at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium in the macula (A and B). Autofluorescence displayed a giraffe-like pattern in the posterior pole (C). He also reported new oral pigmentation on his lips and oral mucosa (D). #Ophthalmology #ophthotwitter #eyecare

Look into this important study that sheds light on why metastatic uveal melanoma responds poorly to currently approved immunotherapies. This is a first step in the right direction for this rare tumor. #cancerresearch #immunotherapy #raretumor https://lnkd.in/dpRDiAct
