HF/CM risks in breast chemotherapy
Earlier study findings that anthracycline- or trastuzumab-based treatment for breast cancer raises the risk for heart failure and cardiomyopathy can be extended to a more general population of women.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Diagnosis and surgery for prostate cancer reduces quality of life
One year after men undergo surgical removal of prostate cancer, they have significant anxiety, which appears to be linked to poor sexual satisfaction and depression.
Children with acute myeloid leukemia benefit from improved diagnostic test
Flow cytometry has been identified as better for checking for minimal residual disease than two other widely used methods to predict patient survival.
Excess weight bodes poorly for HR-positive breast cancer
Overweight and obese women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive operable breast cancer have an increased risk of disease recurrence and death.
Multiple tumors worsen glioblastoma prognosis
Persons with more than one glioblastoma tumor upon diagnosis experience significantly worse survival than do patients with a solitary lesion.
Risk model finds best candidates for lung cancer CT screening
A lung cancer risk-prediction model effectively identified individuals who would benefit most from low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening.
PSA era sees improved overall survival rates in prostate cancer
Overall survival rates have improved for men with prostate cancer following the introduction of PSA screening, particularly for African Americans.
Finasteride, dutasteride therapy may enhance PSA reading
The magnitude of change in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy may be useful in diagnosing prostate cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma viewed as a chronic disease for some
Because people who have had multiple bouts of basal cell carcinoma always risk recurrence, the disease can be considered chronic for such patients.
Recommendations for management of esophageal precancer, cancer
Good endoscopic equipment, endoscopic surgery, and good tissue samples are key to diagnosing and managing esophageal conditions.
