However, its also important to note, patients underwent radiation after the lumpectomy.

IV VITAMIN C on the way out?

This is so sad if this is true. I have been using McGuff for IV vitamin C.

There are other Vit c available in the Market. Or better yet, why not ask your local pharmacist to make IV vitamin C?

Avastin is not for Breast cancer

A new decision has been made by the US FDA disallowing the use of Avastin for breast cancer. This is due to the life-threatening adverse effects of the drug among breast cancer patients.

Why this study is important

The Sympathetic Nervous System Induces a Metastatic Switch in Primary Breast Cancer — Cancer Res

This study shows that at the very least for breast cancer, chronic stress (non-painful stress) can induce cancer cells to become more metastatic. Chronic stress shifts to a "sympathetic predominance." This make the cancer cells "outside" the primary tumor more aggressive.

So really stress is not a good idea for cancer patients.

Down but not out

I'm feeling the blues again. Patient X was admitted due to pleural and pericardial effusion. It was a good thing he was at the right place. Only problem is, he's intubated but fighting.

I pray for his recovery.

Cancer Cells are resistant to angiogenesis inhibitors?

New studies explain how cancer cells 'eat us alive'

This new study seems to say at least 3 things:

1. Its not the cancer that directly causes cachexia, its the stromal cells or fibroblast dying rapidly due to the stress induced by cancer cells.
2. Cancer Cells have mitochondria. In a "normal environment" where cancer cells are present together with the fibroblasts, mitochondria are present. THis is in contrast to cancer cell cultures where cancer cells had no mitochondria.
3. Angiogenesis inhibitors may actually make cancer cells more aggressive in causing cachexia, relapse and metastasis.
