Host: Jacob Sands, MD Guest: Aaron Lisberg, MD Unfortunately, brain metastases are very common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). That's why the phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 trial examined the efficacy and safety of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) for advanced non-squamous NSCLC with brain metastases. Joining Dr. Jacob Sands to share the results presented at the 2024 ESMO Congress is thoracic medical oncologist Dr. Aaron Lisberg.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce news that the company's Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD), featuring a dissolvable doxorubicin-containing microneedle array, has been granted Minor Use in Major Species Designation or MUMS by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This designation marks a significant step forward for Medicus Pharma's mission to revolutionize veterinary oncology. The FDA's MUMS designation is a pivotal milestone, akin to the Orphan Drug status for human medicines. It offers Medicus Pharma an extended 7-year period of exclusive marketing rights following approval or conditional approval, provided the company fulfills all regulatory requirements for maintaining the designation. This exclusivity positions the company to make a profound impact on treating external squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in horses. The innovative doxorubicin-containing microneedle array is a patent-protected, dissolvable transdermal patch designed with cellulose-based microneedles. These microneedles are tip-loaded with doxorubicin, a potent chemotherapy agent. When applied, the microneedles penetrate the stratum corneum layer of the skin, creating temporary microchannels. This allows the microneedles to reach the tumor, dissolve, and release doxorubicin directly into the targeted area, effectively eradicating cancer cells while minimizing systemic side effects. Squamous cell carcinoma is a significant concern in horses, particularly in adult or aged animals with white or partially white coats. Breeds such as Appaloosa, Belgian, American Paint, and Pinto are especially susceptible. SCC typically develops in areas with minimal pigmentation and sparse hair, often around mucous membranes. Commonly affected areas include the eyes, lips, nose, anus, and external genitalia. With an overall incidence rate of 2-3%, this condition impacts a notable portion of the U.S. horse population, estimated to be between 6.6 and 7.25 million horses. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #CancerTreatment #HorseHealth #FDAApproval #InnovationInMedicine #SquamousCellCarcinoma #EquineCare #RazaBokhari #MUMSDesignation #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In episode 162 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with Bennet Reilly to dive into his unique perspectives and experiences. Bennet's word of choice for this episode was “Squamous,” a nod to his admiration for the works of H.P. Lovecraft. We discuss his appreciation for Lovecraft's life and literary contributions, as well as the enduring appeal of cosmic horror. The conversation spans a wide array of topics, including Bennet's work as a funeral director, Donald Trump's presidency, the origins of cancel culture with Donglegate, reflections on the Obama years, the rise of AI in the workforce, and the pressing need for a digital bill of rights to safeguard free speech. This episode is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of history, culture, and technology, with plenty of humor woven throughout. Don't miss it!

 Let's clear up the confusion and prevent unnecessary biopsies! Quick Summary of the Episode: In this episode, Brett Beckman, a board-certified veterinary dentist, dives deep into differentiating oral inflammation and stomatitis in cats, with a focus on histopathology and common misconceptions. Dr. Beckman also answers questions on oral masses, providing guidance on when to refer cases to a board-certified veterinary dentist.     Guest, Cast, and Crew Information: Host: Brett Beckman, DVM, FAVD, DAVDC, DAAPM (Board Certified Veterinary Dentist) Special Mention: Dr. Cindy Bell (Pathologist for Oral Histopathology)     Main Talking Points: The role of histopathology in diagnosing oral conditions in cats. The difference between feline stomatitis and gingivitis. When to biopsy a case of feline oral inflammation. The importance of referring to a board-certified veterinary dentist for oral masses.     Interesting Quotes From the Episode: "Not all oral inflammation is feline gingivostomatitis. The key is caudal oral mucosal inflammation." "The only reason I would biopsy is if there's a unilateral mass—99% of the time, it's likely squamous cell carcinoma." "Always refer to a board-certified dentist; they've undergone practical exams for perfect execution."     Timestamps for Major Segments: 00:00-01:00 – Introduction and sponsor mention (Veterinary Dental Practitioner Program). 01:00-03:00 – Dr. Cindy Bell's expertise in oral histopathology. 03:00-08:00 – Differentiating feline stomatitis and the need for biopsies. 08:00-11:00 – Discussing oral masses and the importance of a veterinary dentist. 11:00-13:00 – Practical advice on when to refer for oral masses.       (Veterinary dentistry, Oral inflammation in cats, Feline stomatitis vs gingivitis, Veterinary oral pathology, Board-certified veterinary dentist, Oral histopathology, Squamous cell carcinoma in cats)     Key Takeaways: Feline gingivostomatitis involves caudal oral mucosal inflammation, whereas other oral inflammations could simply be severe gingivitis. Only biopsy when necessary, especially if there is a unilateral mass indicating something more serious like squamous cell carcinoma. Always refer oral mass cases to a board-certified veterinary dentist for the best outcomes.     Affiliate & Sponsor Links: Veterinary Dental Practitioner Program: IVDI.org/INV

Everyone has heard a myth or two about cancer (hello, sugar!) The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) published eight "Myths and Facts About Cancer." Some of the myths they brought up were ones we've heard from patients, others...kind of cringey. We thought we should tackle them one by one. Not surprisingly, there is often a vein of truth that keeps these so-called myths alive. Tina and Leah have decades of experience as naturopathic physicians and have sifted through the data, so you don't have to! Just hit "play" and enjoy the show! We promise it's entertaining,  at the very least.ASCO's 8 Myths and Facts About CancerSpider Legs in Bubble Gum?

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on July 7, 2023, entitled, “Effectiveness and toxicity of cetuximab with concurrent RT in locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell skin cancer: a case series.” Treatment for locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell cancers (laCSCC) remains poorly defined. Most laCSCC tumors express high levels of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). Cetuximab has activity in other EGFR expressing cancers and enhances the effectiveness of radiotherapy. In this new study, researchers Mark Chang, Wolfram Samlowski and Raul Meoz from University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada, University of Nevada Las Vegas, and University of Nevada Reno conducted a retrospective review of institutional data and identified 18 patients with laCSCC treated with cetuximab induction and concurrent radiotherapy. “We performed a retrospectively review of treatment outcome and toxicity in our patients who received concurrent cetuximab and radiotherapy to show an additional potentially effective treatment option for patients with laCSCC. The goal is also to provide data to inform the design of potential prospective clinical trials.” The loading dose of cetuximab was 400 mg/m² IV. Subsequent weekly doses of 250 mg/m² IV were infused throughout the period of radiation. The treatment doses ranged from 4500–7000 cGy, with a dose fraction of 200-250 cGy. The objective response rate was 83.2% with 55.5% complete responses and 27.7% partial responses. Median progression-free survival was 21.6 months. Progression-free survival was 61% at 1 year and 40% at 2 years. With longer follow-up, some patients developed a local recurrence (16.7%), distant metastases (11.1%) or a second primary cancer (16.3%). Cetuximab was well tolerated, with 68.4% patients experienced only mild acneiform skin rash or fatigue (Grade 1 or 2). Radiotherapy produced expected side effects (skin erythema, moist desquamation, mucositis). “Cetuximab plus radiotherapy represents an active and tolerable treatment option for laCSCC, including patients with contraindications for checkpoint inhibitor therapy.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28470 Correspondence to - Wolfram Samlowski - wsamlowski1@gmail.com Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28470 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - keratinocyte carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, cetuximab, epidermal growth factor receptor, radiation therapy About Oncotarget: Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Since recorded history, heartburn has been a common complaint and the descriptions from ancient physicians are virtually indistinguishable from today's accounts. However, one thing we do know that they did not is a small subset of patients whose long standing heartburn could predispose them to a precancerous condition known as Barrett oesophagitis. Barrett oesophagitis is caused by chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease with a number of known risk factors for developing this. These patients require regular monitoring +/- intervention as they have an increased rate of developing oesophageal adenocarcinoma. For this episode we have called in some specialists to help us out. Our guests include: Dr Tristan Rutland – Anatomical Pathologists who specialises in Gastrointestinal Pathology Dr Milan Bassan – Gastroenterologist who is Head of the endoscopic department at Liverpool Hospital This is the story of Barrett Oesophagitis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is that growing on me -- could it be skin cancer? Have you asked yourself this question? During the pandemic I ignored a couple of what I thought were pimples because I was terrified to go inside a building. According to Wikipedia... Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive. Although the nonmelanoma skin cancer basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is rarely life-threatening, it can be troublesome, especially because 80 percent of BCCs develop on highly visible areas of the head and neck. Mayo Clinic Apparently I have, or had, both. After a few biopsies, a topic chemotherapy treatment, and now Mohs surgery, I hope this closes a chapter. Yet it seems nearly inevitable that there will be a recurrence. And thus my education on this topic is in its genesis. A few takeaways from this experience -- don't leave the house without sunscreen protection and learn more to successfully advocate for myself. Here's an entry from a chronic illness blogger about her ordeal with skin cancer.

In this week's cover paper of Oncotarget (Volume 12, Issue 11) entitled, "CEA as a blood-based biomarker in anal cancer," researchers from The University of Texas – MD Anderson Cancer Center, Terasaki Foundation of Biomedical Sciences, and Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center conducted a retrospective, single-institution study to determine the correlation between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels (a commonly employed assay for patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma) and biopsy-proven Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA). The researchers retrospectively analyzed 219 patients who were treated at The University of Texas – MD Anderson Cancer Center between 2013 and 2020. The team collected demographic data, clinical history, and CEA levels, including gender, ethnicity, stage at initial diagnosis of SCCA, HPV status, HIV status, and smoking history. Patients with coexisting second primary cancers besides SCCA were excluded from their analysis. The median age of patients in the study was 56 years old, 74% were female, and 89% were of Caucasian ethnicity. At the time of the initial CEA measurement, patients were at various stages of SCCA, with 39% in stage III and 41% with metastatic disease to distant organs. 67% of patients had currently or previously tested positive for HPV infection.

Skin cancer is a highly preventable cancer (in non-hereditary cases), due to a major risk factor being prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. By the age of 70, one in five Americans are predicted to be diagnosed with skin cancer. There are three types of cells that are usually involved in skin cancer: basal cells, squamous cells, and melanocytes (or pigment producing cells). The type of skin cell affected by cancer is what classifies the difference between basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and most treatable form of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinomas grow slowly and cause minimal damage if detected and treated early. The second most common form of skin cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin may also be termed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, in order to differentiate from other squamous cell cancers that may occur in the body. Melanoma of the skin is the mutation, often followed by the rampant division, of the skin’s melanocytes. It is the most serious type of skin cancer due to its tendency to spread to other organs. Surprisingly, as much as 30% of all melanoma cases are a result of factors other* than exposure to the sun or other UV light. The causes of such cases are still unknown to researchers, but some suggest that causes could be hereditary. Oncotarget’s Special Collection on Skin Cancer & Melanoma is intended to be a tool for researchers and science readers alike to learn more about the current landscape of skin cancer. The creators of these collections are hopeful that this resource may help researchers discover new biomarkers, mechanisms, and therapies that improve our collective quality of life and lead to enhanced treatments for cancer and other diseases. Papers within this Special Collection relate to various topics on skin cancer research, including a 2018 paper from Australia on the first blood test for early detection of melanoma, a paper by researchers from Columbia University on a combined therapeutic approach that improves anti-tumor antibody therapy in melanoma, and many more.

In episode 436, Mike and James invite Samantha Moe to help us work through the recent evidence suggesting that hydrocholorothiazide is associated with squamous cell skin cancer. We go over all the numbers and talk about how we use cohort data to figure out if an association needs to influence our clinical practice. As always it is tricky.

Practical Radiation Oncology Senior Editor Majid Al Othman, MD, hosts a discussion on the ASTRO clinical practice guideline for basal and squamous cell cancers of the skin. Anna Likhacheva, MD, with the Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento and Christopher Barker, MD of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center join Dr. Al Othman for this episode to discuss when radiation therapy is appropriate for treatment of skin cancers, the differences in recommendations for basal vs squamous cell cancers, and the use of other modalities in addition to radiation therapy. Dr. Likhacheva and Dr. Barker are both authors on the guideline.

As many seniors get older, they will find themselves spending more and more time in their beds and less time out and about. This is especially true for those suffering from mobility problems or other illnesses that hinder their ability to move around like they used to.   Unfortunately, the more time a person spends in one spot, the higher the risk that they will develop pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores. Bedsores occur when a specific area of the body has a certain degree of pressure on it for an elongated period of time. When that happens, the skin opens up and becomes infected.   On today’s quick tip episode of All Home Care Matters, we’ll go over everything you need to know about bedsores. From the risk factors to how to prevent them from happening, this should be a helpful guide to helping your loved one stay safe, comfortable, and infection-free.   People are at a higher risk of developing bedsores if they are immobile and have to stay in one spot for a lengthy period of time. While this is one common cause of bedsores, it’s actually not the only risk factor out there. Incontinence issues can also cause damage to the skin that can lead to open skin and increased risk of infection. A person might also get bedsores if they have lost their sense of touch – due to a neurological disorder or spinal cord injury – because they will not be able to detect pain or warning signs of a sore and are more likely to get an infection.   Bedsores might seem like a relatively harmless, although uncomfortable, wound on a person’s body – but in reality, bedsores pose a great risk to anyone who has them. There are a number of complications that can occur with bedsores – so extra precautions must be in place to help prevent seniors from getting them. If they do get them, then it’s important that they see a doctor immediately, and do not wait for the infection to spread.   It is possible for a bed sore to cause cellulitis – an infection of the skin and soft tissues that occurs when bacteria enters a break in the skin. Cellulitis can cause severe swelling of the skin, along with pain, blisters, and even fever. If left untreated, cellulitis can spread to the lymphatic drainage system in the body and cause chronic swelling. It can also cause deep-layer emergency infections to the fascial lining, on rare occasions.   In addition to cellulitis, a person with bedsores is at risk of experiencing arthritis from joint infections, which could lead to tissue damage. They are also at risk of bone infections which can cause their joints and limbs to not function properly.   If bedsores are left untreated for a very long period of time, a person is at risk of developing skin cancer as a result of the accelerated growth of squamous cells. Squamous cells grow when a person’s skin is experiencing trauma or abnormal changes – such as an untreated wound.   On rare occasions, bedsores can even lead to sepsis – which can lead to widespread inflammation and even organ damage.    Clearly, bedsores are nothing to mess around with. While they might not always be completely preventable – particularly for those who have no choice but to spend their time in bed – it is essential that the wounds are treated as soon as they are found. Do not rely on your loved one to notice and report the sore themselves – in many cases, a person does not even realize they have a sore until it’s too late. Have your loved one’s caregiver check for sores on a regular basis.   There are ways to lower the risk of a person getting bedsores – even when they are stuck in bed. The most important way to keep off bedsores is to get moving. Even if your loved one is stuck in bed, make sure to change their position regularly so that no one spot on their body is under too much pressure. At the same time, replace old or worn-out chairs with armchairs and recliners that have comfortable cushioning. If your loved one is able, have them switch between the bed and the chair, instead of remaining in one or the other most of the time.   If possible, have your loved one engage in range of motion exercises that will get the circulation flowing. Exercise can make the biggest difference – and it can be as simple as arm and leg exercises in bed. Physical and occupational therapists can be an enormous help when it comes to choosing the best exercise plan for your loved one.   There is also specialty bedding available that helps to prevent bedsores. Air mattress toppers or customized cushioned padding can be used to reduce pressure on areas of the body. There are special materials that can reduce pressure on mattresses, chairs, and even footwear, to help reduce pressure wherever and whenever possible.   If your loved one suffers from incontinence, they may be especially suspectable to bedsores. Make sure that your loved one’s skin is cleaned regularly and remains dry. If urine or other bodily fluids are not cleaned from the skin, the skin will deteriorate at a quicker rate and bacteria will enter the broken skin. This can be prevented by regular bathing and making sure that the skin always remains clean and dry.   Finally, a healthy diet can actually be key to preventing bedsores. A good diet will strengthen blood circulation and help to fight off any possible sores. Make sure your loved one is consuming a balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and plenty of fiber and protein.   If you notice that your loved one has a bed sore, make sure to change their position immediately to alleviate unnecessary added pressure. Usually, the sore will go away on its own after one to two days pressure-free. If it does not, make sure to contact your loved one’s doctor right away. The doctor will make sure that there is not an infection and prescribe any necessary treatments. If there is an infection, extra medical care or medication might be necessary to fight it. The earlier you find it, the better.   Bedsores might seem harmless, but they’re nothing to mess with. Still, if you notice them early enough, they can usually go away before an infection occurs. Make sure to do what you can to prevent your loved one from getting them – and if they do get them, make sure you don’t ignore it.   We want to thank you for joining us here at All Home Care Matters, All Home Care Matters is here for you and to help families as they navigate long-term care issues.

This episode covers the basics of squamous cell carcinomas, incl biology, cancer staging and management

Review Epidermis = top layer of skin.  Living cells divide and then add in proteins that causes cells to harden as they die and become and protective layer to keep out water and dirt and critters.  Some of those proteins give your skin its color (melanin) and they help block and reflect UV light from the sun to keep the living cells from being damaged. Mutations = if UV light damages the cells' DNA, then when the cells divide and replicate, they copy the "error" and reproduce an abnormal cell.  If certain mutations cause the cells to die, others cause the cells to be weak, but others cause the cells to become cancer. 3 types of skin cancer Basal cell carcinoma - most common of these 3, more common in people with fair skin.  Skin growth is flesh colored, can look like skin tags.  Caused when a basal cell gets mutated and starts to grow. Squamous cell carcinoma - more common in people with fair skin. Scaly patches or sores that open, start to heal but reopen and never heal.  Caused when a keratinocyte (living, dividing skin cell) gets mutated in the middle of replicating. Melanoma - Moles are just a place where a lot of melanocytes gather in one place, but sudden moles or dark spots can be the tip of a bad iceberg.  This is the deadliest type of skin cancer.  Caused by mutations in the melanocytes. Some benign (harmless) skin characteristics can resemble skin cancer, thus it's easy to overlook them in the early stages. A tool for early detection of melanoma A - Asymmetry - you can't fold it in half and all the edges match B - Boarder - jaggedy, sharp boarders C - Color - uneven color D - Diameter - > 6mm (bigger than the eraser of a #2 pencil) E - Evolving - changes shape, size, or color in a short amount of time (< 1 month) This is why the National Skin Cancer Foundation recommends you do a monthly skin scan to check skin characteristics for changes or new ones. Early detection is the number one step to improve survival of all cancers. Precancer = Actinic Keratosis - dry and flakey places in the skin, can be the precursor of Squamous Cell Carcinoma.  Usually shows up after 40 years old. Cancer is not just a disease that happens to the aged, but as you age, the probability of you being exposed to something that could mutate your cells goes up.
