Research suggests that gender-related differences in lung cancer survival are largely determined by known prognostic factors, suggesting an opportunity to explore gender differences in treatment preference, choice and accessibility.
For many patients after early lung cancer surgery, it is common for them to worry about recurrence. For this reason, many patients tend to undergo CT examinations more closely to ensure that they have not had a recurrence. However, a recent new study conducted by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that even with more frequent CT reviews, post-operative outcomes for lung cancer did not improve...
A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!
The trial is testing the effectiveness of two chemotherapy drugs, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine, in combination with radiotherapy, an approach that has been used to treat other aggressive tumours
Recent findings show that the use of cutting-edge immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (referred to as immunotherapy in this article) has increased rapidly over the past decade in the population of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the survival benefit is more pronounced in younger people than in older people, who have limited survival benefit with this therapy.
Researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have now identified a new treatment that promises to help cancer patients with bone marrow transplants manage side effects better than current standard therapies, making the treatment more effective and safer.
If you are suffering from itchy hair and hair loss, it is important to understand the causes of itchy hair and hair loss so that you can get to the root of the problem. For example, some people only have mild hair loss, which can be relieved after certain adjustments, while others have both itchy symptoms and hair loss symptoms that are more pronounced, so it is also important to pay attention to the right treatment
Every disease has a cause, and we are all sick because of various factors. Understanding the causes of diseases can help us to prevent them, which will help our health a lot.
According to researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a new treatment that helps the immune system kill multiple myeloma cancer cells has benefited up to 73% of patients in 2 clinical trials!
Almost everyone hopes to have a young and healthy heart. However, 62% of people over 40 years old have cardiovascular disease or risk factors to varying degrees, and 80% of them have not yet fully understood how to maintain a healthy heart. Medical research shows that among all internal organs, the heart is most likely to suffer from "obesity", especially in patients with hypertension, which can also lead to gradual thickening of the heart muscle.
