This podcast episode from Beyond the Clinic features a discussion between host Adam Redpath and equine medicine specialists Emma Shipman and Sarah Voss about gastric disease in horses. They discuss the significant differences in squamous and glandular diseases in terms of their etiology and management. Squamous disease is well-studied and responds to acid suppression with drugs like omeprazole. Glandular disease, less understood in its etiology, requires varied treatment strategies often tailored to the client's abilities. The experts agree that management of these conditions requires a holistic approach; careful medication selection plus consideration of the horse's management routine, nutrition and workload.

A year after starting a business that took off like wildfire, Wally noticed her health began to suffer. Her hair started falling out in clumps, she was sleeping a lot, had a sore neck, and just couldn't get up in the morning. She saw several doctors who all agreed it was a cyst. But In August of 2018, when she began to have problems swallowing and breathing, she had a biopsy. The results showed that it was squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Wally was never one to take anyone's word without proof and researching things herself. When given the very limited treatment options, that didn't sit well with her. She had an inner knowing that she created the dis-ease and knew she could fix it. Following her intuition, Wally told her doctors that she would cure herself. Today, Wally has been cancer free for over 6 years. She is passionate about health and helping people become aware of the power of healing with mindset, along with healthy lifestyle changes. Most importantly, Wally prioritizes laughing her way through the life she once never expected to have.

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? Oh, that's a myth, alright.

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. Statistical analysis was calculated using the summarized demographic and clinical characteristics of patients as means with associated standard deviations. “Here we report the largest series detailing the relevance of CEA as a biomarker for patients with SCCA.” Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.27959 DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.27959 Full text - https://www.oncotarget.com/article/27959/text/ Correspondence to - Van K.

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.

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.
