Beratungsstellen und Informationen für Krebskranke. Durch meine Tumor-OP im November 2024 habe ich viel erfahren und recherchiert zu Beratungsstellen und Informationen für Krebskranke. Die Aufstellung ist geprägt von meiner Krebserkrankung und meiner Behandlung in Mainz, doch viele der Punkte gelten generell für Krebserkrankungen.

Wie ich dem Tumor-Tod von der Schippe sprang

Ein bösartiger Tumor wurde frühzeitig erkannt und sauber entfernt, es folgen noch eine Tabletten-Chemo und eine dreiwöchige Reha. Ich bin wohl dem Tod von der Schippe gesprungen.

Researchers discover tumors inherited by generations of jellyfish-like creatures

Researchers from the CANECEV laboratory, an international collaboration between Deakin University and the University of Montpellier, have observed for the first time the birth of transmissible tumors in freshwater brown hydras—tiny, jellyfish-like creatures.

Krass: eine Zagreber #Virologin hatte wieder #Brustkrebs und hat sich dann selbst gemachten #Viren (Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine strain (MeV) & vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana strain (VSV)) in den #Tumor injiziert, die dessen Wachstum umgedreht haben.

Und nein das hat nichts mit #homopathie zu tun.

MDPIAn Unconventional Case Study of Neoadjuvant Oncolytic Virotherapy for Recurrent Breast CancerIntratumoural oncolytic virotherapy may have promise as a means to debulk and downstage inoperable tumours in preparation for successful surgery. Here, we describe the unique case of a 50-year-old self-experimenting female virologist with locally recurrent muscle-invasive breast cancer who was able to proceed to simple, non-invasive tumour resection after receiving multiple intratumoural injections of research-grade virus preparations, which first included an Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine strain (MeV) and then a vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana strain (VSV), both prepared in her own laboratory. The intratumoural virus therapy was well tolerated. Frequent imaging studies and regular clinical observations documenting size, consistency and mobility of the injected tumour demonstrate that both the MeV- and VSV-containing parts of the protocol contributed to the overall favourable response. Two months after the start of the virus injections, the shrunken tumour was no longer invading the skin or underlying muscle and was surgically excised. The excised tumour showed strong lymphocytic infiltration, with an increase in CD20-positive B cells, CD8-positive T cells and macrophages. PD-L1 expression was detected in contrast to the baseline PD-L1-negative phenotype. The patient completed one-year trastuzumab adjuvant therapy and remains well and recurrence-free 45 months post-surgery. Although an isolated case, it encourages consideration of oncolytic virotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment modality.

On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer #research #facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."

Why it matters:
⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️

The big picture:

"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.

Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical #removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.

Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia.
It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN.
💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.

Zoom out:
Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal #surgeries more successful.

The awardees are
Dartmouth College,
Johns Hopkins University,
Rice University,
University of California in San Francisco,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
University of Washington and
Cision Vision in California.

Their projects include inventing a #new #microscope and creating #new #imaging #systems to visualize blood vessels and nerves

STRYPER Guitarist OZ FOX Undergoes Successful Brain Surgery, Shares Photo
Earlier this week, Christian metallers, Stryper, announced that guitarist, Oz Fox, was to undergo another brain surgery. Said the band: "Many of you might remember the challenges Oz faced back in 2018 when doctors found two tumors in his brain. After a couple of successful surgeries, we were all hoping...
