Cancer treatment may be missing one of the body's most important biological signals: circadian rhythm. In this conversation, sleep neurologist Dr. Anne Marie Morse explains how sleep timing, inflammation, immune function, and wearable data could fundamentally reshape cancer care. Emerging research suggests the timing of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and even sleep disruption itself may influence treatment response, survival, and recurrence risk. The discussion explores chronotherapy, circadian genes, microbiome interactions, and how AI-driven analytics may help clinicians move beyond episodic care toward continuous, personalized monitoring.

Studies show multivitamins and high-dose antioxidants can extend cancer survival and reduce recurrence—especially when paired with dietary change. #SupplementScience #CancerSurvival #NutritionProtocols

Send us Fan MailDeep Learning Can Predict the Overall Survival of Cervical Cancer Based on Histopathological Image, Gene Mutation and Clinical Information. Shen J, Miao Z, Wang L, et al. IET Systems Biology 2026.Episode Summary: In this deep dive, we explore a groundbreaking 2026 study that uses multimodal deep learning to act as a "master diagnostician" for cervical cancer. We examine what happens when an AI is fed a combination of standard clinical data, cutting-edge genetic sequencing, and century-old H&E tissue slides. The results force us to rethink how cancer operates: what happens when the genetic "blueprint" of a tumor lies to us, and the real biological truth is hiding in the seemingly chaotic pink and purple pixels of the connective tissue?In This Episode, We Cover:The Murky Diagnostics of Oncology: Understanding why predicting an individual patient's overall survival (OS) in cervical cancer is profoundly difficult. Getting this prediction wrong means risking either lethal undertreatment (distant metastasis) or subjecting stable patients to devastating overtreatment toxicities.The Three Modalities (The Suspect, The DNA, and The Security Footage):Clinical Data: The "suspect's description," utilizing standard patient metrics like age and tumor stage.Molecular Data: The genetic "blueprint" and somatic gene mutations. The AI isolated major red flags like RGR, DBN1, and CALCR mutations, which drive metastasis and signal poor prognosis.Histopathological Images (H&E): The "security footage" showing the physical tissue battlefield via whole slide images.The Model Showdown: Researchers trained a deep learning model (ResNet18) and fused these modalities using Multimodal Compact Bilinear (MCB) fusion. The AI was tasked with classifying patients into short-term (under 3 years) or long-term (over 3 years) survival, and it was rigorously validated on a completely independent dataset (PUMCH) to ensure generalizability.Round 1 - The Genetic Curveball: Despite being the cell's source code, genetic mutation data was the absolute worst predictor of survival, achieving an AUC of just 0.559. Adding it to the AI actually caused the "curse of dimensionality," making the model worse by overwhelming it with mathematical noise.Round 2 - The AI's "Aha!" Moment: The tissue phenotype dictates what actually happens. Fusing simple clinical data (age) with H&E images achieved a highly accurate 0.783 AUC. Even more shockingly, for aggressive short-term survival cases, the AI didn't focus heavily on the tumor itself. It looked at the stroma (connective tissue), deducing on its own that the host's inflammatory battleground dictates the lethality of the disease.The Future of the Lab: How automated quality control (HistoQC) and mathematical techniques (Macenko color normalization) strip away lab technician error and chemical dye variations. We also look ahead to how hyperspectral imaging might soon reveal the foundational chemical signatures of living cells.Key Takeaway: Throwing more data at an algorithm isn't always better. By successfully extracting profound biological truths from routine, inexpensive H&E slides, the AI proved that we don't necessarily need $1,000 genomic sequencing panels to accurately predict prognosis. The physical manifestation of the tumor microenvironment tells us exactly who is winning the battle, paving the way for accessible precision medicineSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

In this powerful episode of Game Over: c*ncer, hosts Dana and Val sit down with Dr. Kira Bona, pediatric oncologist at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Hospital and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, to explore a critical but often overlooked issue in pediatric cancer care: access and health equity.Dr. Bona shares groundbreaking research revealing that one in three children diagnosed with cancer lives in a household facing poverty-related challenges, such as food insecurity, housing instability, or lack of transportation. Even when children receive treatment at top hospitals and participate in clinical trials, these social factors can still impact survival outcomes.Together, they unpack how social determinants of health influence treatment success, why traditional support systems may not be enough, and what researchers are doing to create health equity interventions that improve outcomes for children and families facing financial hardship.This conversation highlights the intersection of oncology and public health, offering hope for a future where every child fighting cancer has an equal chance to survive and thrive.Support the Ignite Consortium: https://igniteconsortium.org----------------------------------Connect with Dana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danaknichols/Connect with Val: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-solomon/Upcoming Ckc Events: https://cannonballkidscancer.org/category/make-an-impact/events/----------------------------------Podcast Produced by Hi Hello Labs: Website: https://www.hihellolabs.com/

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most common and lethal cancers worldwide, accounting for approximately 10% of all cancer diagnoses. While advances in prevention and treatment have improved outcomes, predicting which patients will survive remains a complex challenge—one that depends on an intricate interplay between molecular biology and clinical factors. A research paper, titled “Machine learning-based survival prediction in colorectal cancer combining clinical and biological features” was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget by an international team of researchers, demonstrating how machine learning can integrate these two domains to achieve highly accurate survival predictions. The team's investigation demonstrates that combining clinical features—such as pathological stage, age, and lymph node status—with biological markers—including the E2F8 gene and hsa-miR-495-3p—can significantly improve the ability to predict patient survival.

Theresa Redaniel, Head of Research and Analysis at the NCRI, on survival rates improving across urologicial cancers in Ireland.

Japan's health ministry released on Friday the five-year survival rates of people newly diagnosed with cancer across the country in 2017 and 2018, showing that prostate cancer patients had the highest rates among those aged 15 or over.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that cancer patients did not fair as well during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Practicing oncologist, adjunct professor at Duke University, and chief medical officer at AccessHope Yousuf Zafar discusses his article "Remote second opinions for equitable cancer care." Yousuf explains how a patient's zip code often dictates their survival odds despite biology showing that rural and urban patients have identical potential for recovery when given the same protocols. He details how the explosion of precision oncology has made cancer care vastly more complex, leaving community practices struggling to keep up with over 100 unique cancer subtypes. The conversation highlights how virtual reviews allow subspecialist expertise to flow from academic hubs to local clinics, changing treatment plans in over 52 percent of cases. Yousuf also emphasizes that this collaborative model supports rather than replaces local doctors by connecting them with just-in-time knowledge and clinical trial opportunities.

The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 04: "There Needs to be a Revolution" Ex-Reagan Library Director Speaks Out on Bitcoin | John Heubusch, Lawrence Lepard, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandJohn Heubusch (former Executive Director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Reagan insider, and bestselling author) joins Lawrence Lepard, Bob Burnett, and Gary Leland for an explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode exposing fiat's collapse under America's $38.6 trillion national debt and Bitcoin's revolutionary escape. As Bitcoin hovers around $89K in January 2026 after dipping from 2025's $126K highs, John declares: "There needs to be a revolution... maybe that's when Bitcoin has its moments," linking Reagan's "government is the problem" ethos to sound money's revival. The crew dismantles Nixon's 1971 gold shock as fiat's "beginning of the end," fueling inequality, endless printing, and ethical rot in politics—why Reagan would HODL Bitcoin for its tech disruption like Star Wars defense. Amid hyperinflation fears and US overexpansion mirroring the Soviets' fall, they orange-pill boomers: scarcity (21M BTC cap vs. infinite fiat), network effects outpacing Visa/Mastercard, and AI needing Bitcoin as its frictionless currency. John shares jaw-dropping tales—dating Lady Di, rescuing Reagan's blood vial from eBay, running the Library with Air Force One inside—and his cancer survival blending faith/immunotherapy. Larry slams advisors ignoring Bitcoin's 16-year dominance, Bob ties PC revolution to BTC adoption, Gary urges top 1% ownership (just 0.25 BTC). This is the boomer blueprint: escape fiat's cliff before calamity forces change.

Doctors are calling it a breakthrough: cancer survival rates have increased dramatically over the years. New reporting shows that in the U.S., cancer survival rates over the last 5 years have reached an all-time high. For anyone who's ever had cancer or has seen the effects of cancer on a loved on, this is probably amazing news to hear. Maria Shilaos goes in-depth on the causes behind this rate change and how it compares to survival rates for cancer patients here in Utah. She speaks with Dr. Clark Gamblin, GI Surgeon and Investigator at Huntsman Cancer Institute and Inaugural Chief of Surgical Oncology at the University of Utah to get deeper insights into what the medical research shows is driving this positive trend.

BUFFALO, NY - December 17, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget (Volume 16) on December 15, 2025, titled “Machine learning-based survival prediction in colorectal cancer combining clinical and biological features.” In this study, led by Lucas M. Vieira from the University of Brasília and the University of California San Diego, researchers used machine learning to predict survival in patients with colorectal cancer. They built a model by combining biological markers with clinical data. This approach could help improve prognosis and guide treatment strategies for one of the world's most common and deadly cancers. The team analyzed data from over 500 patients, using clinical details such as age, chemotherapy status, and cancer stage, along with molecular features like gene expression and microRNAs. Their goal was to improve how clinicians identify high-risk patients and make outcome predictions more precise. Researchers evaluated three different patient data scenarios using different machine learning techniques. The best-performing was an adaptive boosting model, which achieved 89.58% accuracy. This approach showed that integrating clinical and biological data led to significantly better predictions than using either data type alone. Among the biological markers, the gene E2F8 was consistently influential in all patient groups and is known to play a role in tumor growth. Other important markers included WDR77 and hsa-miR-495-3p, which are also associated with cancer development. Key clinical predictors included cancer stage, patient age, lymph node involvement, and whether chemotherapy was administered. “The proposed method combines biological and clinical features to predict patient survival, using as input data from patients from the United States, available in the TCGA database.” Unlike earlier models that relied on either clinical or molecular data alone, this study demonstrates the added value of combining both. Ensemble methods, which merge multiple learning algorithms, provided more stable and consistent results across all patient groups tested. These research findings could lead to new tools that help clinicians better predict how a patient's disease might progress or respond to treatment. The study also highlights the importance of collecting complete clinical information, such as lifestyle factors, which were missing from the dataset but could enhance future predictions. Overall, the study demonstrated how machine learning can support more accurate and personalized survival predictions in colorectal cancer. It also points to potential future research on markers like E2F8, which may be useful for monitoring or targeted therapy. DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28783 Correspondence to - Lucas M.

As little as 3000 steps per day can slow progression to Alzheimer's Disease; Self-reports of memory impairment soaring among young people; New study vindicates unprocessed red meat—and even often-vilified processed red meat—for cancer and overall health. Prostate artery embolization (PAE) offers new non-invasive option for men's age-related urinary problems; Targeting the mitochondria and the microbiome for Parkinson's Disease; Popular prostate and hair loss prevention drugs linked to depression and suicide—while Cialis for urinary symptoms may stave off cardiovascular disease; Discovery that a safe, cheap medication may increase survival after breast cancer surgery. 

Shock, denial, panic—then the next test, the next call, the next choice. Our breast cancer series returns to the part most people skip: the emotional cost of diagnosis and the work of rebuilding identity, relationships, and purpose while treatment remakes your life. We open up about the moment a braid on a pillow becomes a new trauma, the decision to shave on your own terms, and why a wig can feel like both armor and weight. From faith to lip kits, from silence to belly laughs, nothing is off the table.We dig into the hard edges of love under pressure. Partners detach, friends go quiet, and strangers step in. Therapy reframes timing and truth. Grace becomes a practice: letting your kids show up, accepting help that isn't perfect, forgiving yourself for not being the fixer anymore. We share the mantras and habits that held us together—prayer, water and wind, “I have cancer, but it doesn't have me”—and the discipline of noticing small kindness that shifts the center of gravity from fear to courage.Then comes reinvention.

Send us a textWelcome to the latest Series of Supportive Care Matters, a podcast hosted by Medical Oncologist and International Cancer Survivorship Expert, Professor Bogda Koczwara AM."If it were a pill, we would all want it." This powerful opening statement captures the essence of ground-breaking research that's transforming our understanding of cancer survivorship care. The CHALLENGE Study has delivered what many considered impossible: definitive evidence that structured exercise significantly extends the lives of colorectal cancer survivors.The results are nothing short of remarkable. Colorectal cancer patients who participated in a structured exercise program for three years after completing surgery and chemotherapy showed an 80% disease-free survival rate at five years, compared to 74% in those who received only health education materials. The results showed that structured exercise provides a significantly longer disease-free survival. Even more impressive, overall survival improved from 83% to 90% - a 37% decrease in risk. To put this in perspective, for every 14 patients who followed the exercise program, one additional life was saved.What makes this intervention unique is its sophisticated approach to behaviour change. Participants received individualised exercise prescriptions targeting 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity weekly, combined with regular supervision and motivational support. Exercise physiologists conducted environmental scans to identify accessible opportunities, established accountability through regular check-ins and helped participants overcome barriers to physical activity. This wasn't simply about telling people to exercise - it was about teaching them how to make sustainable lifestyle changes.The implications for clinical practice are profound. To discuss this ground-breaking paper in detail, Professor Bogda Koczwara is joined by the Australian Principal Investigators - Professor Haryana Dhillon and Professor Janette Vardy.Visit www.oncologynews.com.au for show notes and more information about Supportive Care Matters.This conversation is proudly produced by the Podcast Team at The Oncology Podcast, part of the Oncology Media Group Australia.

What happens when a 16-year-old boy runs away from chemotherapy—and survives?   In this gripping episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz sits down with Billy Best, the teen who became a national sensation in 1994 when he fled conventional cancer treatment in search of something different. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, Billy rejected chemotherapy after watching it ravage his aunt's health and instead placed his trust in faith, intuition, and the wisdom of thousands of everyday people who reached out to introduce him to a whole new world of natural healing.   Billy's story is more than a medical anomaly—it's a powerful testimony of medical freedom, holistic healing, and the suppressed potential of natural medicine. His healing protocol included nutritional therapy, Essiac tea, and 714X lymphatic injections, along with a radical mindset shift, spiritual surrender, and a deep belief in the body's ability to heal. Within months, his cancer was gone.   Billy didn't just survive. He healed. And in the early days of his recovery, he believed—with everything in him—that his story would change the world. That people would wake up. That natural medicine would finally be heard. That the truth would matter.   But it didn't.   Instead, Billy faced the crushing reality of censorship, media manipulation, and corporate control. His miraculous outcome wasn't celebrated—it was buried. Stories were pulled at the last minute. Reporters were silenced. And the very system that claims to be searching for a cure wanted nothing to do with the one he'd found.   In this episode, you'll discover:   The viral true story behind Billy Best's escape from chemotherapy What 714X is, how it works, and why it's banned in the U.S. How bio-individuality, nutrition, and mindset played key roles in his healing The power of belief, faith, and spirituality in the healing process Why Billy believed he'd found the cure for cancer—and what happened when no one wanted it The disturbing link between pharma-funded media, cancer fundraising, and censorship Insight into Codex Alimentarius, glyphosate, GMOs, and the global food agenda Why we must reclaim health freedom and medical sovereignty now more than ever   Billy also speaks candidly about the emotional aftermath—how addiction, trauma, and grief shaped the decades following his recovery—and why he's still fighting, 30 years later, to help others awaken, question, and heal.   This is more than a survival story. It's a raw, unflinching testimony of what happens when someone dares to trust their gut, break the rules, and walk a path no one else will. And it's a heartbreaking reminder that sometimes, even when you've found the truth, the world just isn't ready for it.   Whether you're a practitioner, cancer survivor, or someone seeking health freedom, this conversation is a must-listen.     Resources Mentioned:   The Nutritional Therapy Association: ⁠https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com⁠ The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast Episode with Scott Tips: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/4EkpRYFCciDdwZ1A1gIhf7?si=1334c0b3b24e4440⁠ Make a donation to The National Health Federation to help support health freedom: ⁠https://thenhf.com/make-a-donation/⁠ Learn more about CODEX: ⁠https://thenhf.com/codex/⁠ Checkout Billy's First Book: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Billy-Best-Story-Alternative-Medicine/dp/1937920283/ref=asc_df_1937920283?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80401987005810&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=87545&hvtargid=pla-4584001450967570&psc=1&msclkid=5682c8a9fc9d13ffd119a038cedf016a⁠ ⁠The Billy Best Story⁠ (aka the Pasadena Speech)   If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this.
