Frederique Penault Llorca : PT1a/b breast cancer : Prognostic and predictive...breastcancerupdatecongress
PT1a/b breast cancers are typically less than 10mm in size. Pathology reports must include tumor size, histologic type, grade, hormone receptor status, HER2 status, and lymph node status. The tumors are usually ductal carcinoma, grade I or II, HR+, HER2-, and without lymphovascular invasion. Due to the small size of PT1a/b cancers, careful handling of biopsy and surgical specimens is required to allow for complete histopathologic assessment while preserving tissue for additional tests.
The document discusses a prostate cancer test called the Prostate Core Mitomic Test (PCMT) that detects large-scale mitochondrial DNA deletions to help determine if a negative prostate biopsy result represents a true negative or false negative. It provides examples of two patients (Patient A and B) where PCMT identified one as low risk for undiagnosed cancer after a negative biopsy (true negative) while identifying the other as high risk (false negative). The document promotes PCMT as helping physicians confidently stratify patients, avoid unnecessary repeat biopsies, and better manage patient care through early cancer detection.
The document discusses new drug developments in subsets of breast cancer. It describes how breast cancer is being segmented into rare molecular subtypes defined by specific molecular alterations. This molecular segmentation is important for optimally developing targeted agents by enriching clinical trials for patients with the relevant molecular alteration. Several new drugs for treating specific breast cancer subtypes are mentioned, including drugs targeting HER2, angiogenesis, hormone receptors, and DNA repair pathways in triple negative breast cancer.
This document discusses cancer and provides information about its causes, global burden, history, development process, genetics, types like breast cancer, research areas, and molecular targets for treatment. It notes that cancer is caused by both environmental and genetic factors. While over 80% of cancers are due to nature like radiation and viruses, under 10% are due to nurture or genes. The global cancer burden is outlined and breast cancer is used as a paradigm to discuss heterogeneous subtypes including luminal A, luminal B, basal-like, and ERBB2+ based on molecular profiles and markers. Future work is needed to better integrate molecular and clinical classification of cancers like breast cancer to improve diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
SHARE Webinar: Latest Research on Metastatic Breast Cancer from SABCS 2015bkling
Dr. Tiffany Traina, medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, presents the latest research on metastatic breast cancer reported at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December 2015.
1) Kevin Braunschweiger was diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 45 and was more concerned about potential impacts to his sex life than death.
2) Early detection is key for genital-pelvic cancers like prostate and testicular cancer. However, many men delay seeking treatment due to embarrassment or fears over impotence and incontinence from surgery.
3) Braunschweiger opted for brachytherapy seed implantation instead of surgery after learning the procedure had similar effectiveness with less risk of side effects. While surgery offers a higher cure rate, radiation allows additional treatment if the initial treatment fails. Early detection and treatment are important for genital cancers.
This document summarizes information on biomarkers for ovarian cancer, including CA-125, HE4, and risk algorithms like ROMA and OVA1. It discusses several studies on the diagnostic performance of these biomarkers alone and in combination for detecting ovarian cancer, especially early-stage disease. The document also reviews recommendations and guidelines for the use of CA-125 testing in different clinical contexts. Finally, it presents findings from a study showing that hormone receptor expression levels have prognostic value for survival in certain ovarian cancer histological subtypes.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Raphael Nyarkotey Obu on prostate cancer and the church's role in fighting the disease in Ghana. It discusses the anatomy and function of the prostate gland, risk factors for prostate cancer like aging and family history, symptoms of prostate cancer, screening and treatment options, prevention strategies like diet and exercise, and statistics on prostate cancer in Ghana. It also introduces Dr. Obu and his work founding the Men's Health Foundation of Ghana to increase awareness and screening for prostate cancer.
The early symptoms of ovarian cancer are easily missed and often confused with gastrointestinal issues like bloating, constipation, and pelvic pain. There are no reliable screening tests for ovarian cancer detection. Risk factors include family history, never using birth control pills, and having fewer or no children. While ovarian cancer can be deadly, treatments have improved and many women now live longer with the disease. It is important for women with symptoms or risk factors to see a gynecological oncologist for evaluation and care.
P53 protein can repair DNA damage before cell replication. Studies found higher rates of germline DNA repair mutations in men with metastatic prostate cancer, such as with the BRCA1, BRCA2, MHSH2, and HOXB13 genes. These mutations were independent of family history and age of diagnosis. A limitation is that the studies only focused on specific genes and not how multiple genes may interact to influence disease. The student notes that identifying DNA mutations could help various cancer types and that education is needed on tobacco and UV radiation risks.

This document provides an overview of cancer including its causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It discusses that cancer is caused by genetic mutations that disrupt normal cell growth and can be due to factors such as viruses, radiation, chemicals and heredity. The diagnosis of cancer involves tissue biopsies, imaging tests and tumor marker tests to determine the cancer type and stage. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies to cure early stage cancer or control later stage cancer. Screening tests can help detect some cancer types early when they are more likely to be cured. Prevention strategies include avoiding risk factors, vaccinations, chemoprevention and healthy behaviors.
