Understanding Bladder Cancer

 


https://worldbladdercancer.org/bladder-cancer-article/signs-risk-factors/


World Bladder Cancer Awareness month -  May

Bladder Cancer. Two words that deliver a devastating impact. Every year, over 570,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer and 1.7m people find themselves living with the condition. It is the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer and the 13th cause of death from cancer globally. But, a timely diagnosis offers a significant increase in the chance of long-term survival and quality of life. Blood in the urine is the most important warning sign of bladder cancer to watch out for.

Yet bladder cancer is the forgotten cancer, and it should not be. We need to unite and raise our voices for people affected by bladder cancer. World Bladder Cancer Awareness month in May 2023 is a chance for us to do exactly that!

Long-Term Response with Eribulin Mesylate in a Breast Cancer Patient: A Case Report.

Medici M. · Fossile E.

Oncology 2018;94(suppl 1):3–5


In December 2015, PET and MRI showed focal hyperaccumulation at the spine and hips (Fig. 1). These lesions were associated with severe pain (8–10 on a visual analogical scale).


After multidisciplinary assessment of the case, given the refractoriness to prior regimens, the triple-negative status of the disease, the presence of severe pain, and the relatively young age of the patient, we instituted therapy with eribulin mesylate (1.23 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, every 21-day cycle) in January 2016. This therapy was associated with palliative radiotherapy on bone lesions (3–30 Gy). In March 2016, the patient showed a partial response on bone lesions. In August 2016, US imaging showed liver steatosis, which was paralleled by increased transaminases. However, examination by a hepatology specialist excluded liver involvement and/or treatment-related toxicity. Further imaging examinations, in November 2016, showed a complete response (CR) at all lesions

Triple-negative breast cancer clinical trial shows promise


While Robbie was waiting for an open slot in the trial, she took two rounds of an oral chemotherapy drug called Xeloda and a drug called Ixempra, which is administered through an IV. Neither shrunk the tumors, so Saleem pulled her off the medications to prepare her for the clinical trial. On Nov. 22, 2016, Robbie started taking Olaparib twice daily and AZD5363 twice a day, four times a week.

By the early 1990s the number of people being diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime had risen from one in four to one in three. It has been increasing slowly ever since and in 2010 was four in ten for persons (1 for 2.5).

Risk of cancer increases with age.Children and young people are less affected by it.
Less than one per cent of all cancers in the UK occur in children (aged 0-14).
Less than one per cent of all cancers in the UK occur in the teenagers and young adults (aged 15-24).
