Our current study focuses on the metastatic setting, where cancer is usually not curable. Currently, treatment decisions are based on the availability of targeted therapies (for HER2+ and ER+ cancers) and on metastatic site, symptoms, prior use of chemotherapy, and overall health, and comorbiditie...
Hope is defined as the expectation of achieving a future good. Patients with cancer, whether it is curable or not,prioritize cure as their highest hope. Patients withincurable cancerwish to be informedabout their disease and its treatment but also need to maintain hope. This inner conflict can ...
The success of targeted therapies and immunotherapies has created optimism that cancers may be curable. However, not all patients respond, drug resistance is common and many patients relapse owing to dormant cancer cells. These rare and elusive cells can disseminate early and hide in specialized nich...
Canceris more curable when detected early. Although some cancers develop completely without symptoms, the disease can be particularly devastating if you ignore symptoms because you do not think that these symptoms might represent cancer. People with risk factors for cancer (for example, smokers, heavy...
Hence, prostate cancer is globally a major health and economic burden in our current aging population. When diagnosed at an early organ-confined stage of the disease, prostate cancer is potentially curable by radical prostatectomy, which involves the removal of the prostate gland, and/or ...
”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and ...
Therapies which could target these cells may develop into an effective strategy for tumor eradication and a hope for patients for whom this disease remains uncurable. Keywords: cancer stem cells; non-coding RNAs; EMT; phenotypic and metabolic plasticity; anti-cancer therapies 1. Introduction ...
or a sore that doesn't heal. It most often occurs on the nose, forehead, ears, lower lip, hands, and other sun-exposed areas of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma is curable if caught and treated early. If the skin cancer becomes more advanced, treatment will depend on the stage of ca...
Screening is aimed at early detection of NSCLC rather than small cell lung cancer because the latter is much less common and typically spreads too quickly to be reliably detected at an early, potentially curable stage by screening. Currently, 79% of patients present with lung cancer that has ...
11 Because keratinocyte carcinoma is common and usually curable, it is not monitored by cancer registries and reliable epidemiologic data are not available. However, emerging evidence indicates that mortality data for squamous cell carcinoma may be underestimated.2,8 Exposure to UV radiation from sun ...
