Prognosis Poor for Women With Pregnancy-Associated Melanoma
Among women aged up to 49 years with a pregnancy-associated melanoma, recurrence rates were higher than seen in other groups.

Reliance on PET to Detect Lung or Esophageal Cancer Recurrence May Lead to Overuse of the Imaging Modality
In posttreatment follow-up of lung and esophageal cancer, PET scans might be overused to detect cancer recurrence. Furthermore, PET scan use to detect recurrence does not increase survival.
Lipofilling of Breast Not Linked to Breast Cancer Recurrence
No increase in locoregional recurrence, systemic recurrence, or second breast cancer observed following breast lipofilling procedure.
Blood Test Could Help Predict Acute Myeloid Leukemia Recurrence
A simple blood test can identify post-chemo patients with the NPM1 gene mutation.
ASCO: VTE a Risk Factor for Esophageal Cancer Recurrence
No significant difference in survival was observed with VTE, but odds of esophageal cancer ecurrence are increased.
Cancer-induced Weakness in Immune System May Be Key to HER2+ Breast Cancer Recurrence, and Prevention
T cells from patients whose breast cancer had recently recurred showed weak response to the HER2 receptor protein, according to a recent study. The study findings suggest that immune status monitoring may be used to gauge the risk of recurrence.
High Remission Rate Seen With Arsenic Trioxide Consolidation for Children With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Increased rates of event-free surviva were seen with lthe use of arsenic trioxide consolidation for children newly diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
Network of Thread-like Branches Enables Brain Tumors to Avoid Effects of Treatment
Incurable astrocytomas grow into healthy brain tissue like mycelium. Therefore, these tumors cannot be completely removed by surgery and invariably start growing again at some point despite intensive treatment.
Molecular Imaging Study Reveals Improved Detection of Early Stage Recurrent Prostate Cancer
In the study, management was changed in 44% more cases by Use of the imaging agent Ga-68 PSMA with PET/CT resulted in a change in management of prostate cancer in 44% more cases than with another widely used agent.
Combining chemotherapy with an immune-blocking drug could stop cancer recurrence
Shutting down the healing action of certain white blood cells triggered by chemotherapy may help prevent the spread of cancer.
