Sarcoma UK’s Post

📣 During today’s poster session at #ESMOBreast24 Prof. Dr. med. Sibylle Loibl presented #TROPIONBreast04 🎗 This trial in progress poster describes a study which was designed to compare Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) plus durvalumab followed by surgery and durvalumab alone, with the standard-of-care chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated early-stage TNBC or HR-low/HER2–#breastcancer. The study will recruit approximately 1728 patients and assess how well Dato-DXd plus durvalumab works and describe the side effects.

Cancer treatment typically relies on a trio of treatment options: radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy, often performed in conjunction—for instance, a person may have surgery followed by a course of radiation and chemotherapy. While life-saving, many cancer chemotherapy drugs come with serious side effects. These include hearing-related side effects such as hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in your ears) and balance problems. While sometimes these side effects are temporary and get better after treatment ends, often they’re permanent. #hearing #audiology 360care.com READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gXmbeVVQ

The role of oncoplastic breast surgery is crucial in the management of breast cancer. While the primary focus of surgical intervention is to ensure an adequate oncological safety margin, achieving a satisfactory cosmetic result is also vital for a patient’s social and psychological wellbeing and overall quality of life. In this series of videos, we will demonstrate surgical techniques tailored to the tumor's specific location in each quadrant. It's essential to prioritize selecting the technique that ensures oncological safety first, followed by a focus on achieving optimal cosmetic results. https://lnkd.in/gcEMfdZY #breastoncoplasty #breastcancer #cancertreatment #womenhealth #surgicaltechnique #surgicalvideos

📢 Survey on Perioperative Antibiotic Use 📢 There is significant global heterogeneity in the management of perioperative antibiotic administration for head and neck tumors as well as thyroid resections, varying by country and the specialty performing the surgery (ENT surgeons vs. general surgeons). I encourage all endocrine surgeons in my network to participate in Dr. Blaurock's survey, which aims to highlight these differences and contribute to establishing a more standardized, evidence-based approach to prophylactic perioperative antibiotic use. #EndocrineSurgery #AntibioticProphylaxis #SurgicalPractice #PerioperativeCare #HeadandNeckSurgery

Did you know that treating skin cancer treatment is often associated with common MYTHS, like: Surgery is the Only Option: While surgery is a common and effective, it's not the only option available for non-melanoma skin cancer. Superficial radio therapy (SRT) is among the alternatives, and offers comparable cure rates. Natural Remedies Are Sufficient: Some people believe that natural or home remedies can effectively treat skin cancer, but natural substances are generally not considered a substitute for medically proven treatments like surgery, superficial radio therapy, or chemotherapy. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment. #sensushealthcare #SRT #nonmelanomaskincancer
