Childhood cancer.ppt an overview(dr.shamvil)
This document discusses childhood cancer in Pakistan. It notes that over 7,000 children are estimated to get cancer in Pakistan each year, with the most common types being leukemia, lymphoma, and bone tumors. Overall survival rates are below 30% in developing countries compared to over 75% in developed nations, due to issues like late-stage presentation, limited expertise and infrastructure, and inability to afford treatment. While the situation has improved in Pakistan with more pediatric oncology units and trained specialists, major challenges remain including a lack of awareness, high patient volumes, limited resources and support services, and financial barriers to care. Increasing capacity, access, and support are needed to improve outcomes for children with cancer in Pakistan.

This document summarizes a presentation on diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department. It discusses guidelines for PE diagnosis and reasons clinicians may not follow guidelines. It also looks at using D-dimer tests and Wells criteria to evaluate patients and focuses on managing younger patients, pregnant patients, and diagnosing subsegmental PE.
Survivorship Issues Genetics 2016
This document discusses genetics implications for survivorship programs. It highlights identifying patients who were previously missed for genetic testing and may benefit from re-testing given advances in panel testing. It also reviews managing hereditary cancer risks and addressing the psychosocial issues patients face, such as making difficult medical decisions, informing relatives, and dealing with feelings of guilt. Survivorship programs can help such patients navigate these medical and familial implications.
Cancer Genetic Counseling Services
Cancer genetic counseling services provide important benefits for those with and without cancer. Genetic counselors educate patients about their cancer risks, help patients understand genetic testing results, and empower informed decision making. While genetic testing identifies only a small percentage of cancer cases, it allows for targeted treatment and screening that can prevent cancer in families. Expanding access to genetic risk assessment and counseling could help identify more high-risk individuals and families earlier to reduce cancer burden through prevention and early detection strategies.

The document describes a statistics project conducted by a group of students to study the understanding level of breast cancer among Malaysian women aged 21-25 and 26-30. The group developed a 17-question survey and collected responses from 150 women in each age group. They then analyzed the data statistically and found that both age groups had a similar average understanding level of around 60%. However, fewer than 25% of respondents in either group correctly identified that over 80% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed after age 55. The risk factor of obesity was only correctly identified by 34-54% of respondents. Over 80% knew that pink is the prominent breast cancer awareness symbol and that breast cancer can cause death.

Cancer Screening in the Normal Risk 2018
The document provides guidelines from the American Cancer Society and US Preventive Services Task Force for cancer screening in average-risk asymptomatic individuals. It discusses screening recommendations for breast, colorectal, cervical, lung and prostate cancer. For each cancer, it summarizes the guidelines from both organizations, noting areas of agreement and differences in their recommendations for when to begin screening, screening intervals, and when to stop screening.
Every fetus at risk
This document discusses prenatal screening and diagnosis of fetal anomalies. It describes various risks that can affect every fetus, including chromosomal anomalies, structural anomalies, growth disorders, placental problems, infections, and liquor problems. Screening tests are recommended to triage mothers into high-risk and low-risk categories, prevent maternal complications, and screen the fetus for chromosomal and structural defects to decide the optimal time and mode of delivery. Approximately 3% of viable fetuses would be born with a severe anomaly, and prenatal diagnosis has reduced the incidence of severe defects at birth by diagnosing many early in the first trimester.
Point counterpoint in PCa screening
1. The document discusses whether prostate cancer screening should be recommended for elderly men over age 65 given the high prevalence of prostate cancer but also the slow growing nature in many cases and short life expectancy.
2. While screening can detect cancer early, it also risks overdiagnosing biologically unimportant cancers and subjects men to potential harms of treatment without clear benefits due to their age.
3. Guidelines in the US have differing recommendations regarding screening older men, reflecting the ongoing debate around the balance of risks and benefits in this population.

1. The document discusses the debate around prostate cancer screening in elderly men over age 65, with arguments on both sides.
2. Screening may detect cancers early that would not have progressed or caused harm in a man's lifetime given his life expectancy. However, screening also risks overdiagnosis and overtreatment of biologically unimportant cancers.
3. Guidelines in the US do not recommend routine screening for low-risk, elderly patients due to the scientific uncertainties around the balance of benefits and harms. Patient-clinician discussion is important to make informed, individual decisions.
Is there a role for ovarian cancer screening
Annual screening for ovarian cancer with CA-125 testing and transvaginal ultrasound does not reduce mortality in average-risk women but does increase invasive medical procedures and harms. Screening higher-risk women shows potential for earlier detection through the UKFOCSS trial, but results are pending. While tumor markers like HE4 show promise in detecting early cancers missed by CA-125, more research is needed to determine an effective screening strategy. Overall, there is currently no established role for population-wide ovarian cancer screening.

It finds that the average understanding level is 60% for those aged 21-25 and 61% for those aged 26-30, showing similar levels of understanding. Most respondents incorrectly answered the question on the percentage of women diagnosed after age 55. Over 80% correctly identified that breast cancer can cause death and the pink ribbon as the main symbol of breast cancer awareness.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
