Research clinical trials seek to answer important questions in cancer treatment. Areas like immunotherapy for rare cancers, reducing radiation therapy in the treatment of some cancers, and the viability of chemotherapy to avoid surgery in some breast cancers are underway. Patients are not automatically enrolled in clinical trials nor are they a "last resort" in care. Patients must meet the strict eligibility criteria, requirements, and all treatments in a clinical trial(s) are optional for patients. Through the efforts of our research team, we can make strides in seeking better methods of treatment for our patients. See our most recent trials: https://lnkd.in/eFZ5narv #ClinicalTrials

Ordensklinikum Linz mit zwei Beiträgen und einem der Best Submitted Abstracts als einzigen österreichischen Beitrag am ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology TAT24 in Paris vertreten. #LiquidBiopsy #Viszeralonkologie —- - preoperative ctDNA detectability indicates high risk for early recurrence and may assist in decision making for NACT vs. upfront surgery in localized pancreatic cancer - ctDNA predicts early response to treatment after 2 weeks of chemotherapy (vs. currently 3 months as clinical goldstandard) in metastasized gastrointestinal cancer (PC, GEC, CRC).

Exciting developments in the world of oncology! A Phase II clinical study has revealed that Lu-177-Dotatate, a radiopharmaceutical initially used for neuroendocrine tumors, shows promise in extending progression-free survival for patients battling meningioma, the most common type of primary brain tumor. In the groundbreaking study, nearly 80% of participants remained progression-free after six months. This significant result surpasses historical benchmarks, indicating that radiopharmaceuticals like 177Lu-Dotatate could offer a more effective treatment option compared to traditional methods such as surgery or radiation.

Breast cancer 5 #Treatment The two basic principles of treatment are to reduce the chance of local recurrence and the risk of metastatic spread. There are several types, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal, target therapy, the choice of therapy depends on the stage and presence of hormones receptors: 1. Hormones positive : hormone therapy 2. HER2 positive: target therapy 3. Triple negative: systemic therapy #breast_cancer #oncology #chemotherapy #drugs #pharmacy #pharmacist

Join us at tomorrow at 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting from 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM for an innovative poster session on Predicting real-world overall survival for post-operative pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: An ASCO CancerLinQ Discovery analysis! This study utilizing real-world data from the American Society of Clinical Oncology's CancerLinQ Discovery database has developed a machine learning model to predict 1-year survival for patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This innovative approach offers a more accurate way to stratify patient risk and make informed treatment decisions. Findings show that factors like chemotherapy, tumor size, age, and lab data contribute to predicting outcomes.

Current treatments for, Breast Cancer (BC), usually include surgery, RT, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or other targeted drug therapies. Tumor diagnosis and prognosis, prediction of recurrence and the definite treatment management of patients, remain a challenge without considering the type of tumor, the nature of tumors and stem cells. Furthermore, cells surrounding an incipient tumor, the cellular and molecular interaction between the tumor and its surroundings, and the type of treatment plus how to use them . # Microenvironmental of Tumor Cell
