A 45-year-old man is diagnosed with a T3N1 tumour, identified through oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD). The patient began fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT) chemotherapy and underwent surgical resection. After 9 months, CT showed three lung metastases. At this point, the original biopsy was tested for HER2 and found to be positive (3+). He has since progressed on capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and trastuzumab as well as paclitaxel and ramucirumab. What would be the most appropriate next step in managing this patient? Join expert Elizabeth Smyth, MD, FRCP, in this series on patients with HER2+ gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. #PeerVoice #meded #pathology #oncology https://lnkd.in/eTkT44WT

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve successfully completed our very first 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗔 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲® test in routine care! This marks an exciting step forward in our mission to personalize radiotherapy for prostate cancer patients and help improve treatment outcomes. We predict the risk of developing late complications at 36 months after radiotherapy. Specifically, we assess grade 2+ pelvic toxicities affecting the urinary and digestive systems. This follows our 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗔 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁® test, which is already in routine use for breast cancer patients. Interested in learning more about this new test?

New Therapy Protocol for Colorectal Cancer – Over 50% Had Complete Response! 🙌 Precision Cancer Medicine specialist, Alex Rolland, discusses a recent study that is bringing hope to many patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer – by giving them a much higher chance at long-term remission. Alex explains the exciting results of the TORCH study, which found that adding a combination of certain therapies prior to surgery made a massive difference to the numbers of colon cancer patients achieving remission. Watch this video to learn 👇 ✅ Issues with biomarkers in standard care – and how to get past them? ✅ Colorectal cancer and this new therapy ✅ What is the current standard of care for colorectal cancer? ✅ Adding this new therapy to standard chemo / radiation ✅ The importance of a pCR after neoadjuvant therapy ✅ Exploring the recent TORCH study ✅ Understanding the results of the TORCH study ✅ Summary of these groundbreaking study results ✅ How patients can get the information and support they need now Click to watch 👉 https://buff.ly/4fVXyG8 👀 Alex also explains why patients who achieve a pCR with this new protocol can expect to be cancer-free for 10 years or more. This is compared to only 15% of those who receive the current standard of care and have the same response. He is joined by Precision Oncology Advocate and CTOAM cofounder, Michelle Morand. Together they share next steps patients can take to find out whether this new protocol can work for them and how to access it. #HopeIsHere #PrecisionCancerMedicine

Adenomas are a type of polyp that can turn into colorectal cancer over time. Screening colonoscopies helps reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer by allowing doctors to remove these adenomas before they have a chance to transform. Microscopically, pathologists typically divide these adenomas into three types tubular, tubulovillous, and villous.

Alberto Bossi, MD, highlights the crucial role of #brachytherapy as a boost for high-grade prostate cancer cases, complementing active surveillance for lower-grade diseases. He stresses its effectiveness in extending survival for at-risk patients, emphasizing its combination with external beam radiotherapy. Additionally, he discusses its utility in salvage settings and for patients with previous pelvic irradiation. His insights underscore the evolving landscape of prostate cancer treatment.

In continuation to the previous post, we would like to emphasize again the importance of early detection and coming to us asap in case of any abnormalities as or problems. -that surgical oncology offers the best chance of curing solid cancers when detected early? By surgically removing tumors and affected tissues, surgical oncologists aim to eradicate cancerous cells and prevent their spread to other parts of the body. Early diagnosis allows for timely intervention, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes and improving long-term survival rates. Surgical oncology plays a crucial role in the comprehensive management of cancer, offering patients the opportunity for a cure and a better quality of life.

➡️Primary brain tumors are notoriously hard to treat due to the lack of treatments that can pass the blood brain barrier. More brain penetrant compounds are needed for patients. As we approach the end of 🧠Brain Tumor Awareness Month, our commitment to advancing research and development does not waver. We continue to focus on our investigational program, Debio 0123, a WEE1 inhibitor that is able to overcome one of the most significant challenges in treating brain tumors, crossing the blood-brain barrier. 👇Discover why this is crucial and how it could change the course of treatment for such a hard-to-treat disease. Let's keep spreading knowledge and fostering hope for a future where Glioblastoma can be effectively tackled!✨ #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth #Glioblastoma #CancerResearch #Oncology

🔬 Did you know that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could potentially revolutionize the detection of #GallbladderCancer? 🤔 Gallbladder cancer is a relatively rare but aggressive malignancy that often goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages, making it difficult to treat effectively. However, recent research suggests that ctDNA analysis holds great promise in improving early detection and guiding personalized treatment approaches. 🎯 ctDNA analysis has the potential to significantly improve the detection, monitoring, and treatment of gallbladder cancer. This non-invasive technique allows for early detection, facilitates treatment response assessment, and guides personalized therapies. As research into ctDNA analysis continues to advance, we may witness a new era of improved outcomes for gallbladder cancer patients. 🌟 For more details read our blog @ https://lnkd.in/gU8C9z6Z and keep an eye out for future developments in this exciting field! 💙 #CancerResearch #LiquidBiopsy #ctDNA #GallbladderCancerTreatment #GallbladderCancerResearch #GallbladderCancerManagement #GallbladderCancerSymptoms #NonInvasiveBiomarker #TumorDNA #GeneticAbnormalities #LiquidBiopsy #GastrointestinalMalignancies #Bhimar #LifeSciences #Healthcare #Informations #Omics #Surgery #Radiotherapy #Chemotherapy
