This document summarizes a presentation on the fundamentals and generalities of breast cancer screening and medical management. It discusses screening methods like risk assessment interviews, physical exams, and diagnostic imaging. For screening, it recommends monthly breast self-exams starting at age 20, clinical breast exams every 1-2 years from age 30 onward, and mammograms every 2-3 years from age 50 to 74. The presentation also covers international and Philippine guidelines for breast cancer screening.
ROJoson PEP Talk: CANCER CURABILITY & SURVIVORSHIPReynaldo Joson
The document discusses cancer curability and survivorship. It begins by defining cancer as uncontrolled cell growth that can spread to other tissues. It then notes that while there is no true cure for cancer currently, some cancers may be considered cured if they do not recur within a certain time period, such as 10 years, based on the typical recurrence timelines for different cancer types. The document also discusses how physicians use the term "remission" if cancer is undetectable, but do not guarantee it will not return. It defines a cancer survivor as anyone diagnosed with cancer and notes the speaker's registry of over 150 survivors who have been in remission for 10+ years.
ROJoson PEP Talk: How to Live a Life with a Possible and Actual CancerReynaldo Joson
The document provides guidance on how to live with a possible or actual cancer diagnosis. It recommends accepting the reality of cancer risk, avoiding modifiable risk factors, learning cancer symptoms, conducting regular self-exams, seeing an oncologist yearly, and getting treatment early if cancer is detected. It also stresses trusting doctors and one's spirituality, sharing one's cancer journey, and making an intentional living plan to cope with cancer and its uncertainties.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Can one skip CHEMOTHERAPY in BREAST CANCER TREATMENT?Reynaldo Joson
Chemotherapy is a systemic cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy fast-growing cancer cells. It works by keeping cancer cells from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy can be given alone or with other treatments depending on the cancer type and stage. Factors like a person's age, health, and the cancer details help determine the chemotherapy plan and drugs. Chemotherapy aims to cure cancer, shrink tumors before other treatments, destroy remaining cancer cells after treatment, or slow cancer progression and relieve symptoms.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Thyroid Cancer Management - Part 1 - Fundamentals and Gener...Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses fundamentals and generalities in the medical management of thyroid cancer. It covers screening for thyroid cancer through risk assessment, physical examination, and diagnostic procedures if suspicious symptoms are present. Clinical diagnosis of thyroid cancer involves evaluating symptoms and signs through pattern recognition and prevalence.

ROJoson PEP Talk: CANCER INCURABILITY and HOSPICE CAREReynaldo Joson
The document discusses cancer incurability and hospice care. It defines cancer as an uncontrolled growth of cells that can spread to other tissues. Cancer incurability means the cancer cannot be cured or there is no cure. Some cancers may be incurable but not all - early treatment and effective therapies can cure some cancers. A cancer is considered terminally incurable if it is advanced, growing rapidly, recurring and no effective treatment exists, and the patient is expected to pass away within a year. At that point, the goal shifts from curative to palliative care and hospice to improve quality of life.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Two Early Detection Programs for CancersReynaldo Joson
This document describes a zoom presentation on two early detection programs for cancers: early clinical diagnosis and screening programs. The early clinical diagnosis program involves assessing patients with symptoms through physical exams and tests. The screening program uses laboratory tests and procedures on asymptomatic high-risk patients to detect cancers early. The presenter recommends an early clinical diagnosis program combined with selective screening for high-risk patients due to concerns about overdiagnosis from broad screening programs.

ROJoson PEP Talk: Breast Self-Exam - A Health Habit to CultivateReynaldo Joson
The document discusses the importance of cultivating breast self-examination (BSE) as a health habit given the high incidence of breast cancer worldwide and in the Philippines. It emphasizes that BSE should be the first line of defense, followed by clinical breast exams and imaging tests as needed. Regular BSE is easy to perform, has no cost, and allows early detection of small cancers before they become advanced. BSE can find cancers that may be missed by doctors or imaging. All women should make BSE a regular health habit through commitment and practice to best protect themselves from the risks of breast cancer.
ROJoson PEP TalK: Breast Self-Exam: A Habit to Cultivate - Feb 2023Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses the importance of breast self-examination (BSE) as the primary strategy for females to guard against breast cancer development. It emphasizes that BSE should not be omitted in favor of solely relying on breast specialists or imaging procedures. BSE is recommended as the first line approach because it is a simple, cost-free health habit that empowers females to regularly examine their own breasts and detect any abnormalities early. Regular BSE can help complement clinical examinations and imaging to promote the earliest possible detection of breast cancer.
In this presentation, Dr. Deborah Schrag, Medical Oncologist from Dana Farber Cancer Institute covers therapy options, surgery options, and radiation options, that are specific to rectal cancer patients.

ROJoson PEP Talk: DOES EVERYONE HAVE CANCER CELLS IN THEIR BODY?Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses whether everyone has cancer cells in their body. It explains that while our bodies are constantly producing new cells, not all of these cells are destined to become cancerous. A typical healthy cell goes through cycles of growth, division and death, while a cancer cell does not follow this normal cycle and keeps reproducing abnormally. Not everyone inherently has cancer cells in their body from the beginning - it is possible for initially normal cells to eventually develop into cancer cells due to certain risk factors.

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.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

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.

Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
12. What does “after curative treatment for breast cancer” mean?
At the time of the initial consult with a breast specialist, the
breast specialist will determine the stage of the diagnosed breast
cancer.
He/she can use the categorization of Stage 1 to 4 (with 1 being
earliest and 4 being most advanced) or use simple layman’s
categorization: localized / locoregional / advanced stage.
Based on the stage, the breast specialist determines the goal of
treatment (whether curative vs palliative). He/she maps out the
specific treatment plan based on the goal.
Monitoring
Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
13. What does “after curative treatment for breast cancer”
mean?
A “curative treatment for breast cancer” means the
treatment plan aims for complete remission with the
hope of NO recurrence whatsoever.
Strictly speaking, in the medical world, physicians do not
talk / promise / assure a CURE outcome after treatment
even in the earliest stage of cancer. They would use the
word REMISSION instead of CURE. Because no matter
what stage and treatment done, there is always a
possibility of recurrence.
Monitoring

Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
14. What does “after curative treatment for breast cancer”
mean?
What is the difference between CURE AND REMISSION
from cancer?
CURE means the cancer is completely gone and is not
expected to come back.
REMISSION means there is no evidence of residual cancer
after treatment at the moment but cancer may still come
back.
Again, with the recurrence being possible, physicians do
not talk of cure, but REMISSION.

Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
15. What does “after curative treatment for breast
cancer” mean?
When oncologists say this or that cancer is still
“curable” -
They mean that they can get rid of the cancer if
proper treatment is administered early enough.
The cancer has a good chance of being controlled
completely and attaining complete remission.
However, they still don’t guarantee cure. They
guarantee “good chance for complete remission.”
Monitoring

Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
16. What does “after curative treatment for breast cancer” mean?
To repeat -
A “curative treatment for breast cancer” means the treatment plan
aims for complete remission with the hope of NO recurrence
whatsoever.
A curative intent or goal is usually aimed for Stages 1 and 2 breast
cancers and local and locoregional stages.
A non-curative intent or palliative goal is usually realistically aimed
for the advanced stages especially those with distant metastasis or
Stage 4.
Monitoring

Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
17. Why monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
After a curative treatment for breast cancer,
there is still a possibility of recurrence no matter
what. The lower the stage, the lesser the risk of
recurrence.
Regardless of the stages, after an execution of a
curative treatment plan, there must be a plan to
monitor for recurrences.
The commonly used medical term for monitoring
is surveillance.
Monitoring
Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
18. Why monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
The goal of breast cancer surveillance is to detect
breast cancer as early as possible, prior to the
onset of signs or symptoms of disease, to allow
for earlier, less aggressive treatments, thus
reducing the mortality and morbidity associated
with a recurrence.
Monitoring
Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
19. Why monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
Whatever breast cancer surveillance strategies
are recommended, the following should be
considered:
- Effectiveness in detecting recurrence
- Risk of the detecting strategies
- Outcomes (whether they really prolong
survival with a good quality of life)
- Costs of the detecting strategies
- Availability of the detecting strategies
Monitoring
Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
Note: in breast
cancer, a strategy
that can detect
recurrence early
may NOT necessary
be equated to
prolonging survival
with a quality of life.
Thus, usually a
battery of test is
NOT recommended.
20. Where are the sites of breast cancer recurrences after curative
treatment?
The more common sites of recurrences:
• Local recurrences - operative areas, breast, chest
• Regional recurrences - lymph nodes in armpits and neck (above collar
bones)
• Distant recurrences
• Bones
• Lungs
• Brain / Liver / Skin and soft tissues
• Opposite breast (Note: a new cancer arising on the opposite breast
is not a recurrence.)
Monitoring

21. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
By:
• Self
• Breast specialist with or without lab
diagnostic tests
Self – through symptoms monitoring and
through breast self-exam
Breast specialist – through clinical breast exam
and lab tests as needed

22. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after curative
treatment?
Usually, 3 commonly practiced strategies in breast cancer
surveillance:
• Symptom- and sign-based surveillance with selective
lab tests as needed (depending on the risk of
recurrence)
• Clinical examination and mammogram surveillance
with other lab tests as needed (depending on the risk
of recurrence)
• Battery of lab test surveillance (mammo, ultrasound,
bone scan, CT scan, PET scan, tumor markers, etc.)
Monitoring

Breast Cancer

23. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after curative
treatment?
Symptom - based surveillance (patient self-monitoring
system):
Look and feel for common alert symptoms of recurrences:
• Mass on the operated areas, opposite breast, armpits,
neck and other parts of the body
• Intractable headache – possible brain
• Intractable bone pain – possible bones
• Intractable cough – possible lungs
• Intractable abdominal pain – possible liver

24. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
Sign - based surveillance (breast specialist clinical
examination - monitoring system):
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION searching for signs of
recurrence
- looking and palpating for mass that would
indicate a breast cancer recurrence
- evaluating a patient for recurrence with inputs
from history or interview for symptoms of
recurrence
Monitoring
Recurrence of
Breast Cancer
After Curative
Treatment
The minimum areas
to be examined by
the breast specialists
are the following: 2
breasts / areas; 2
armpits; 2 areas of
the neck above the
collar bones; and
right upper quadrant
of abdomen.
25. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after curative
treatment?
Usually, 3 commonly practiced strategies in breast cancer
surveillance:
• Symptom- and sign-based surveillance with selective
lab tests as needed (depending on the risk of
recurrence or suspicious for recurrence)
• Clinical examination and mammogram surveillance
with other lab tests as needed (depending on the risk
of recurrence)
• Battery of lab test surveillance (mammo, ultrasound,
bone scan, CT scan, PET scan, tumor markers, etc.)

27. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after
curative treatment?
Annual mammography and physical exams are
recommended surveillance strategies for people
who have been treated for curable breast cancer.
More intensive follow-up in people with no
symptoms has not been proven to improve
outcomes.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology
(ASCO) does not recommend routine screening
for cancer at distant sites.

29. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after curative
treatment?
There are clinical studies that compare the use of battery
of tests vs selective test approaches in breast cancer
surveillance.
Results of this trial support the view that a protocol of
frequent laboratory tests and roentgenography after
primary treatment for breast cancer does not improve
survival or influence health-related quality of life. Routine
use of these tests should be discouraged.(JAMA.
1994;271:1587-1592)

30. How to monitor breast cancer recurrence after curative treatment?
There are clinical studies that compare the use of battery of tests vs
selective test approaches in breast cancer surveillance.
Conclusions. —Periodic chest roentgenography and bone scan
allow earlier detection of distant metastases, but anticipated
diagnosis appears to be the only effect of intensive follow-up, and
no impact on prognosis is evident after 5 years. Periodic intensive
follow-up with chest roentgenography and bone scan should not be
recommended as a routine policy.(JAMA. 1994;271:1593-1597)
