Our latest interview with Dr Liz is the next Voice - the lovely and gentle human that is Astrid. Astrid shares how she has spent her entire adult life with major life changing health issues, which actually originally started from a childhood viral illness. Astrid had a childhood viral illness called Henoch Shonlein Purport which can be a simple uncomplicated illness, but in rare cases can cause kidney damage. For Astrid the HSP did cause kidney damage which went unnoticed. At 19 Astrid was diagnosed with high blood pressure but the underlying cause wasn't picked up on for several years by which point she had kidney failure, was started on renal dialysis and listed for an organ transplant. Astrid shares openly a very rare insight into the physical and emotional journey of being an organ donor recipient and how her donor lost her life but saved more than five others, and the result for Astrid meant she was then also able to go on and have children of her own. Not long after that investigation for a suspected fibroid actually identified a rare fallopian tube cancer - Leiomyosarcoma. A slow growing cancer which eventually spread to her spine and is now incurable.Astrid's pragmatic and philosophical approach to her health conditions shares a way of approaching life changing health conditions that is really profound and inspiring; how she refuses to be defined by her conditions and is fiercely determined to embrace life, continue to seek joy in things that bring her joy and focusing on the love for her family and sons. Astrid's mindset of being 'lucky in her unluckiness' is an example of how keeping focused on the positives and the present moment can have a profound impact on how one can come to terms with such major conditions. Thank you to Astrid for sharing her Scars Of Gold for this campaign.Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign sharing the voices of 100 women facing their mortality at a young age with life changing or incurable health conditions.

In the summer of 2022, Luke Goodwin of the UK was driving his wife to work when he began experiencing a severe pain in his side and had to pull over and call for an ambulance, which didn't arrive for 8 hours. When he did make it to hospital he was originally diagnosed with kidney stones but, after tests were performed, he was told he had leiomyosarcoma—a rare type of cancer that grows in the smooth muscles. Doctors gave him 12 months to live. However, his use of cannabis oil is shrinking his tumors and he's winning his battle with the disease.
In last week's episode, Dr Rob Hermann shared a personal story about being diagnosed with a Leiomyosarcoma in his lower leg. I could have kept it in Ep 285 - Current State of Podiatric Surgery in Australia; however, it was a significant event in his life, and I didn't want it to be missed or overlooked, so I decided to edit it out of the original recording and create a separate mini-episode. I think you will enjoy it.

On this episode of "Behind Diagnoses: Patients", a Peer Med Podcast special series we hear from Dafina Malovska, who was diagnosed with a gluten disorder when she really had Uterine Cancer. The only option to save her life was to have a total hysterectomy which meant the removal of her uterus and both ovaries. Womb cancer deprived her of having her own children. and placed her into immediate surgical menopause after the operation. Now, she's become a powerful patient advocate that wants to change the face of healthcare in order to ensure more and greater access for care, screening, follow up and more for Female-Assigned at Birth people in the United Kingdom.

Oncotarget's cover paper this week (Volume 12, Issue 16) is entitled, "Epigenetic signatures differentiate uterine and soft tissue leiomyosarcoma," by researchers from Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT. “In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis and compared the DNA methylation and RNA expression profiles of ULMS and STLMS samples from the TCGA-SARC study.” First, the team identified two LMS subtypes based on their site of origin: uterine LMS (ULMS) and non-uterine soft tissue LMS (STLMS). Next, they compared their molecular landscapes using The Cancer Genome Atlas-Sarcoma (TCGA-SARC) dataset and comprehensively analyzed 27 ULMS and 53 STLMS samples. Researchers assessed for epigenetic and transcriptomic differences between ULMS and STLMS. They hoped these differences would help identify differentially methylated genes and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in these LMS subtypes. Findings from the TCGA-SARC dataset were then compared to two independent DNA methylation datasets, GSE140686 and GSE68312. “In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of 98 clinically derived LMS samples and 11 controls using three publicly available datasets to identify epigenetic changes which characterize LMS subtypes and may be used as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets.” Datasets were then used in comparative DNA methylation analysis to compare controls with the identified epigenetic changes associated with tumorigenesis. Network and pathway analysis were performed to further characterize the differential transcription signatures between ULMS and STLMS.

Dr Schöffski presents, at a press conference at ASCO 2015, findings from a randomised phase III trial point to a promising new therapy for patients with advanced intermediate or high grade liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma whose disease worsened after two or more lines of initial therapies.
Dr Schwartz gives an expert commentary on data presented at ASCO 2015. 452 patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma or adipocytic sarcoma, which is also called liposarcoma, were randomly assigned to treatment with eribulin or dacarbazine until disease progression. The median overall survival was 13.5 months in the eribulin group and 11.5 months in the dacarbazine group. Dr Schwartz looks at the implications of this and gives some background on the difficulty of treating sarcomas.
Dr Schöffski talks to ecancertv at ASCO 2015 about the findings of a randomised phase III trial that point to eribulin as a promising new therapy for patients with advanced intermediate or high grade liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma whose disease worsened after two or more lines of initial therapies.
