Cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. This process is referred to as metastasis. Metastases are the major cause of death from cancer. (WHO)
Cancer known medically as a malignant neoplasm, is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth.
In cancer, cellsdivide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, and invading nearby parts of the body.
The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream.
Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not invade neighboring tissues and do not spread throughout the body.
There are over 200 different known cancers that affect humans.
This document summarizes management strategies for metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer. It discusses that hormone receptor positive disease has better survival rates than other subtypes. Roughly 30% of early breast cancer patients will develop advanced or metastatic disease, with 6-10% presenting with metastases initially. Treatment modalities discussed include reducing estrogen production, selective estrogen receptor modulators like tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant, progestins, targeted therapies, CDK4/6 inhibitors, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors, and mTOR inhibitors. Combination treatment strategies are also summarized.
The document discusses how certain hormones can cause cancer by encouraging cell proliferation. It notes that hormones are an important factor in sex-related cancers like breast, prostate, and ovarian cancer. Both genetic and non-genetic factors determine an individual's hormone levels. Sex hormones drive the growth of cancers in hormonally responsive tissues, and hormone therapy aims to block the effects of these hormones. The document provides details on specific hormone-related cancers and potential hormone-based treatments.

It notes that lung, breast, colon, rectal, endometrial, pancreatic, kidney, prostate, thyroid, and leukemia are common cancer types. Environmental factors like tobacco, alcohol, diet, occupation, viruses, parasites, and lifestyle habits contribute to cancer risk. Genetic factors can also play a role. The global cancer burden is expected to increase, with more deaths in developing countries by 2020. Cancer rates vary between developed and developing economies and within India based on etiological factors like smoking, betel nut chewing, and air pollution. Lifestyle changes, physical activity, and healthy diets can help prevent cancer. Recent studies found
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual periods, occurring on average at age 51. Hormone therapy can relieve menopausal symptoms but carries risks like endometrial cancer and blood clots. Options include oral or transdermal estrogen with or without progestin. Non-hormonal treatments include black cohosh, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Hormone therapy is generally recommended for short-term use to treat moderate to severe symptoms.
1. Immunosuppressants and immunomodulators used in pregnancy include corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, hydroxychloroquine, intravenous immunoglobulin, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, and tofacitinib.

This patient has stage IV breast cancer that has metastasized to the liver and bone. The primary goal of treatment is now palliation. The recommended treatment plan includes four cycles of dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the patient will undergo mastectomy or breast conserving surgery. Anastrozole will be given for 5 years as endocrine therapy. Since the cancer has spread to bone, denosumab and tramadol will be added for palliation of bone pain. Therapy efficacy and adverse effects will be monitored through clinical exams and symptom reporting. The patient will be counseled on proper medication administration and potential side effects to report.
Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the breast tissue. It is metabolized in the liver into active metabolites that bind to estrogen receptors in tumor cells, inhibiting DNA synthesis and estrogen effects. Common side effects include hot flashes and increased risk of blood clots. Its effectiveness can be reduced by certain antidepressants that inhibit the enzyme needed to metabolize tamoxifen. Genetic testing can help determine if a patient's metabolism makes them less likely to benefit from tamoxifen. Aromatase inhibitors are an alternative class of drugs for breast cancer that work by preventing the conversion of androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues.
Adjuvant endocrine therapy in breast cancer Mamdouh Sabry
Adjuvant endocrine therapy is an important treatment for breast cancer patients. Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors are commonly used to block the effects of estrogen and progesterone, which can fuel breast cancer growth. Determining menopausal status is crucial for selecting the appropriate endocrine treatment. While adjuvant endocrine therapy improves outcomes for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, doctors must also monitor for side effects and address issues like future fertility with patients.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Several factors can increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, including family history, lifestyle factors like obesity and lack of exercise, and hormonal influences. Regular screening through self-exams and mammograms can help detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Diet and nutrition also play an important role, as certain foods and dietary patterns may promote inflammation and increase cancer risk, while others provide protective antioxidants.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

4. INTRODUCTION
• The breast plays and important role in the
female body.
• It is an organ where breast milk is produced
• The major organelles involved in the production
of breast milk are the lobules and ducts
• Another important structure which plays a role is
the axilla
6. INTRODUCTION CONT’D
• Breast cancer is a disease whereby the cells
found in the breast begin to divide uncontrollably.
• It can occur in the ducts or lobules or within the
accessory organelles within the breast
• Breast cancer has become a thing of worry due to
its increasing prevalence.
• Breast Cancer occurs due to the interplay
between genetic and environmental factors.
