Paul Romness, Chairman, CEO, and President of OS Therapies, and Olivia Egge, a member of the Board of Directors of OS Therapies, discuss osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer that primarily affects teenagers. OS Therapies is developing an immunotherapy that utilizes a weakened form of the listeria bacteria to stimulate the immune system and prevent the spread of cancer cells to the lungs and brain. Olivia's experience as a patient has motivated her to advocate for better treatment options and join the board of OS Therapeutics. Paul explains, "So osteosarcoma is quite literally bone cancer. It happens in teenagers like Olivia, after the growth comes together in the long bones, and there's some sort of miscalculation, and a very aggressive and very deadly cancer develops from that of the growth. And as a result, the cancer can usually spread to the lungs and then the brain. And that's where it gets very, very deadly. And our approach is to stimulate the immune system with a weakened or attenuated listeria that fires up the immune system and goes and finds these little culprits, little micro metastases that have survived the chemo and radiation that these kids go through. It tries to destroy those little micro metastases before they land in the lungs and the brain." Olivia elaborates, "I talk to patients all the time. Actually, I was introduced to people who became close friends during my actual treatment, but today I still do physical therapy and I'm constantly meeting kids who are in the middle of treatment and some of them have relapse, some haven't, but so I'm constantly meeting new patients and it's just evident that we need better treatment options. I see how weak they are from chemo. They're all, especially with osteosarcoma, you usually have to have a joint replacement or amputation, and chemo just weakens you. So it makes it even harder to recover from that. And I mean, these treatments are just so old. And so for sure, seeing all of these patients going through active treatment just reinforces how badly we need new treatment options, especially treatment options like surgery and immunotherapy." #OSTherapies #Osteosarcoma #SolidTumors #Immunotherapy #ListeriaCancerImmunotherapy #ComparativeOncology #CanineOsteosarcoma ostherapies.com Download the transcript here

Osteosarcoma is an extremely challenging and often aggressive cancer that has particular treatment challenges due to location, changing genotypes, and high recurrence rates. It mostly affects children and young adults under 20 years of age. In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh spoke with Paul Romness, president and CEO of OS Therapies, a company focused on the identification, development, and commercialisation of treatments for osteosarcoma (OS) and other solid tumours. Describing the current treatment landscape for primary and secondary bone cancer, Romness explains the potential of their own – OST-HER2, a bioengineered bacterial immunotherapy based on listeria.

Imagine the shock and horror of having a child be diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, going through treatment for that for 8 months,, relapsing 2 months later, and then being told that the first diagnosis was wrong, and that the child actually had Ewings Sarcoma. That is what happened to then 2 1/2 year old Connor Mocey who is now 5 years old and doing as well as possible while dealing with this difficult Bone Cancer.
He lost most of his leg, two lungs got cracked open, and somehow he still walked it off—literally. Jeff Bryant's life was all about basketball—until a swollen leg led to a diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma. What followed was a wild medical journey: a full femur and knee replacement, the loss of three out of four quadriceps, two lung surgeries, and multiple reconstructive operations. But Jeff didn't just survive—he came back swinging, walking hospital laps days after surgery, mentoring other patients, and even launching an international young adult cancer support network. This episode dives deep into the physical pain, the mental grit, and the community that helped Jeff keep going. From titanium bones to Final Four tickets, this is a story of resilience, purpose, and finding new dreams when old ones get ripped away.

When Rene Michael's 6 year old daughter Alicia was complaining of a backache in December of 2001, little did she know that her backache would lead to a diagnosis of a Peripheral Nueroectodermal Tumor which is a Bone Cancer closely related to Ewings Sarcoma. During her inpatient treatment, her mom Rene tells the story of Alicia deciding to find a way to donate money to the Pediatric Cancer patients and their families who were on her oncology floor. Thus, the Honeysuckle Foundation was born, inspirationally started by Alicia and officially started by Rene who has been the director of this foundation since its inception in late 2002. This foundation focuses on the all important psychosocial aspects of Pediatric Cancer. Today Alicia is approaching her 30th birthday, is married, and living her best life possible.

Whats most interesting that after doing the 10 day cleanse and meditations the Huntsman Cancer center told her some amazing news! Kathy's experience as a Homepathic doctor and holds 2 masters degree in Counseling led her to really embrace a more holistic approach. She was later convinced to get a bone marrow transplant and harvest her stem cells and then did a stem cell transplant.

For opera singer Kathleen Watt, a life-changing cancer journey began during an otherwise routine trip to her family dentist. In January of 1997 when Watt was 43 years old, the examination of a bump in the gumline at the back of her upper jaw eventually led to Watt receiving a diagnosis of the bone cancer osteosarcoma, which would be followed by treatment that included chemotherapy and a decade-long process of facial reconstruction. “A small corps of medical elites convened to excoriate my diseased bones with surgical wizardry and lethal toxins,” as Watt described on her website, “and stayed on to restore me to myself through a brutal alchemy of kindness and titanium screws.” Watt had recently begun her third season in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City when she received her diagnosis. Approximately 1,000 new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the United States each year, and approximately only half of those cases are among adults, according to the American Cancer Society. Osteosarcomas account for approximately 2% of childhood cancers, “but they make up a much smaller percentage of adult cancers,” the American Cancer Society reported. “I think it's common for people who are facing catastrophic illness or in a period of illness that you enter it thinking, ‘This is going to be a hiatus in my life, this is going to be something I'll get through and then I'll get back to my life,'” Watt told CURE®. “If you have a short illness or short, dramatic catastrophe and get it taken care of and you're done with it, it's easy to consider that a hiatus and then you get back to everything. “I think that the fact that my definitive reconstruction was so protracted over so many years, things kept going wrong, things kept not working, or they would work but not come to complete fruition, (it) was just never definitive, and kept me in a limbo for this long, long trajectory. And I had to think change my thinking from the fact that this was a hiatus or some kind of blank space that would (be) taken out of the flow of my life to a feeling that that this is part of life. Long or short, you're on a train that's taking you through your life, it's a view (that) is part of the landscape that you traveled through on the vehicle of your own energy that propels you (with) the propulsion of life along a track through a landscape which is going to change from catastrophe to joy to resolution to discovery, (it) is all one ride.” Watt shares her story in her new memoir, “Rearranged: An Opera Singer's Facial Cancer and Life Transposed,” which is set to be released on Oct. 10 by Heliotrope Books. That same day, she returns to the stage for a cross-country book tour launching at P&T Knitwear in New York City. (For a full list of tour dates and more information on “Rearranged,” visit kathleenwatt.com.) “In the years since I was onstage all the time, I really did not notice how much I had retreated into my naturally shy disposition, content to express myself through my kids' Halloween or Spirit Week costumes, etc., avoiding the camera myself,” Watt said. “Then, in the selfie-revolution, and during the pandemic when everyone in the world took to Zoom, I felt myself shrinking from being seen on screen, becoming hyper-aware of my facial difference, such as it is. The ramp-up to this book tour has forced me to get off the dime, get over myself and just show up. I'm reminded of the time-worn advice to young singers, that no one in the audience has come to watch you be frightened, nervous or apologetic. They show up because they want to buy what you're selling. They don't want to see you be nervous or apologetic; they expect to see you succeed. They show up and pay for a ticket because they intend to be moved by what you have to offer. “This live book tour has required me to call up my performer chops and dust them off, because honestly, I think this cancer journey is actually a success story that people are going to want to hear, and I am privileged to be able to tell.” In this episode of CURE's “Cancer Horizons” podcast, Watt speaks about the importance of remaining present during treatment and how the notes she and her loved ones took during her cancer journey resulted in “Rearranged” decades later.

Cody was only 17 in 2003 when Janet and Don agreed to sign him up to become a soldier. Cody went to basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky the summer between his junior and senior year in high school. Their younger son, Landon, followed suit, attending basic training between his junior and senior year. Both boys came back from basic training changed. They were now responsible adults. Cody was assigned to a transportation unit. He served 18 months in Iraq. Cody suffered brain damage when the semi he was in was hit by an IED. He was awarded the bronze star. Janet had no idea about PTSD when Cody came home for R&R. He was changed, quiet, and reclusive. Cody's injuries are unseen. It took 10 years to get him discharged from service. Cody has endured addiction and divorce. Through healing, he now finds support in his wife and solace in fishing. Landon was in civil affairs. He spent his time speaking with village elders while on his first deployment in Afghanistan. Landon was assigned as a combat medic for his second deployment. Six months into this deployment, life took a drastic turn for him. Janet recalls feeling uneasy about this deployment. She was nervous. On June 16, Landon was injured and medevacked out. On June 21, Janet was finally able to speak to her son. He was having a lot of back pain, something Landon attributed to the heavy equipment he carried, but it got to the point where he was physically unable to walk. Landon underwent surgery to decompress his spine. Tumors were on his spine and around a rib. He was immediately sent to the United States and Walter Reed hospital. Landon was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer (Ewing Sarcoma) ; a cancer most often found in pediatric patients. Landon was 23. Landon's first thought was to knock out the cancer and get back to his guys in Afghanistan. Doctors told him this was not possible; chemotherapy lasted one year and radiation 3-4 months. Landon was devastated. Landon spent 14 months at Walter Reed hospital fighting the cancer. He had no feeling from the chest down. Landon thought he had beat cancer. He was moved to a spinal rehab facility. Several weeks later, the cancer came back like a ferocious beast. Landon was in severe pain. He decided to do chemotherapy again, but first there was a surgery to remove as much cancer as possible. Radiation on his esophagus made it difficult to swallow. Between the bone, nerve, and esophagus pain; plus the PTSD, Landon felt very vulnerable. A new scan was done after the second line of chemotherapy. The news was devastating, the tumor had grown. Landon's last procedure was on his esophagus. He desperately wanted to eat. Landon went into cardiac arrest. He was surrounded by doctors. Landon went into a coma. He was put on a ventilator. Landon was taken off a ventilator for a short period. Janet could see the pain in his eyes and requested that the ventilator be reapplied. Following a command by Landon's first sargeant to "Stand Down Soldier," he passed away on December 7, 2013. Janet became a gold star mother. Her desire was to help other families enduring the same heartache. Janet works in Survivor Outreach through the Utah National Guard.

Jason was diagnosed with bone cancer in November last year, at the age of 34. First thought to be caused by baby hernia, the massive pain in Jason's groin was actually due to a large lump over his pelvic bone that was protruding inwards. After a visit to a radiologist who referred him to a doctor and a series of MRI scans and biopsies, Jason received news he never expected. Much the same with everyone receiving news like this, Jason didn't understand one bit. So, he mustered up his courage and talked to his doctor. He then met with the team who will handle his operation, Dr Charlie Gardener. With this first meeting, Jason felt safe. Here he learned about the procedure to be done, which is THE first here in Australia, and the dreadful possibility of losing limb. We can say that the 10-hr operation was a success, but the recovery was difficult. Albeit difficult, Jason says what happened changed him for the better. From his diagnosis to his account of how extensive his surgery was - imagine amputation and hip repair, to regaining strength through biking, to losing 4 cms (of you know what) and gaining it back, make sure to buckle up with a few tissues on hand. Jason will take us on an amazing ride that's a first here in the P*nis Project podcast. As for Jason's sexual health, it's a work in progress. Or say, a comeback in progress.

This townie tried to escape when touring the country as a traveling nurse. Now married to a farmer, living in the country and mothering to a little boy and girl, she has planted her roots firmly in the Midwest while working as a nurse practitioner. Listen as this guest (and fellow Franklin Magnet Middle School Knight) reunite to explain how she made friends while moving rapidly from city-to-city in the world of health care. A slip in the grocery store and a mom's intuition turned what Leah thought as an unsightly bump into a life changing mass with a 50 percent, 5-year survival rate. Leah shares how she was in the right place at the right time when a normally pediatric cancer aggressively took hold of her leg causing her to undergo surgery and treatment that would result in an adorable pixie cut and endless days without work and feeling down and out. In an emotional recollection, she remembers the countless people who reached out to wish her well. These moments, people and trinkets kept her afloat during the hardest days.

Still in the fight of his life – for his life. That's the real-life story of this week's Team Never Quit guest, Chris Cathers, a former US Army Green Beret and CIA paramilitary Global Response Staff (GRS) contractor with 12 deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and North Africa. And if Chris' PTS struggles weren't enough, Chris speaks openly about the stage 4 bone cancer he has had for over a year. Struggling to find adequate medical care opened his eyes to the difficulty of finding the right team for any aspect of medicine, and he has dedicated himself to encouraging his military brothers and sisters to seek help immediately and not downplay the signs. Chris and his business partner Daniel also aim to raise awareness of the veteran suicide epidemic via a documentary, “Brother's Keeper”, currently in production. Chris has established a nonprofit organization to help raise funds for a small number of other nonprofit and for-profit businesses, committed to giving our veterans a hand in their fight. In this episode you will hear: At one time, I was feeling really good. I was doing protection for celebrities for 5 years, as well as Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and lifting a lot. My femur was compromised to the point that I was close to snapping it. I always prepare myself for the worst and hope for the best. You have to advocate for yourself, or you won't have a good success rate. Unfortunately with what I've got, radiation & chemo doesn't work. It's more of a Hail Mary. My wife calls me a cockroach. “Man, this guy's stubborn.” Sports is what kept me on the right path. I feel like a sheepdog – I like to keep the wolves at bay. I really enjoy protecting people. If I would redline my body, all the “noise” would settle down. Doing something bigger than you has always been a calling for me. Initially, my outlook wasn't great - 29% and the 5-year survival rate wasn't good. I'm a patriot and I love our country, I think we're the best country on the planet, but we're doing our damnedest to fuck it up. That's not acceptable to me. We didn't think we could have children, 1 - I'm old as dirt and I'm stage 4. So we were not planning on having a child, but… Comparison is the thief of joy.

Sarcoma is the general term for a broad group of cancers that begin in the bones and soft tissues of the body, including muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons and the lining of your joints. There are more than 70 types of sarcoma. Bone cancer is a rare disease, accounting for just 0.2% of all cancers. An estimated 3,910 new cases of sarcoma of the bones and joints will be diagnosed in 2022, according to the National Cancer Institute. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults. "When we think of sarcomas of the bone, the common types are chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and osteosarcoma," says Dr. Safia Ahmed, a radiation oncologist at Mayo Clinic. "While sarcoma can happen in any bone in the body, the most common sites include the pelvis, the spine, and the skull base for most of these tumors."Treatment for sarcoma varies depending on sarcoma type, location and other factors. Treatments can include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Proton beam therapy is a type of radiation therapy that is more precise than traditional X-ray treatment, which delivers radiation to everything in its path. Proton beam therapy uses positively charged particles in an atom — protons — that release their energy within the tumor. Because proton beams can be much more finely controlled, specialists can use proton beam therapy to safely deliver higher doses of radiation to tumors. This is particularly important for bone cancers."When we treat these tumors in the bone with radiation, they need much higher doses of radiation than, say a sarcoma that arises purely in the muscle, what we call a soft tissue sarcoma," explains Dr. Ahmed. "And these high doses of radiation often exceed what the normal tissues around the area can tolerate. So proton therapy allows us to give this high dose of radiation while protecting the normal tissues."July is Sarcoma Awareness Month. On this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Ahmed discusses sarcoma diagnoses and treatment options, including proton beam therapy.
