older relative has kidney cancer and kidney will be removed…worried about it spreading pre-surgery. The only things I know are low carbs as cancer feeds on it and also ivermectin and other anti parasite drugs seem promising (best way to get them?) If anyone has whacked out crazy cures please share them. We like herbs and natural cures but we have open minds.

The American Cancer Society reports lower overall cancer death rates, yet incidence is increasing for many common cancers, including 6 of the top 10. ... What might be most striking about the rising incidence is that it’s affecting increasingly younger people. Cancer patients are getting younger. Cancer risk increases with age, and people most likely to be diagnosed with cancer are adults age 65 and older. But this trend is beginning to change. People age 65 and older (sometimes referred to as older adults) represent a growing proportion of the overall population, but their numbers are shrinking in the proportion...

The latest figures suggest that around 1,500 medical procedures have been canceled across some of London's biggest hospitals in the four weeks since Qilin's ransomware attack hit pathology services provider Synnovis. But perhaps no single person was affected as severely as Johanna Groothuizen. Hanna – the name she goes by – is now missing her right breast after her skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction surgery was swapped out for a simple mastectomy at the last minute. I never thought it was going to be due to a cyberattack by Russian hackers. That was not something that I would have...

A clinical trial has shown that a new drug combination utilized before surgery completely eliminated or shrunk melanoma tumors in 70% of trial participants. The phase II clinical trial, NeoACTIVATE, enrolled patients with stage 3 melanoma. "We saw that about two-thirds of the patients in one arm of the trial had no remaining tumor at all at the time of their surgery," said Matthew S. Block, M.D., Ph.D. This was the first clinical trial to explore using the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy before surgery in patients with and without the type of melanoma that has a mutation in...

Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in the ’90s hit shows “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” has died, her publicist told People. She was 53. “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” publicist Leslie Sloane told People. “On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.” Doherty had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Variety reported. She announced she had gone into remission in 2017, only for the cancer to return a few years later.

Smoking is to blame for 20% of US cancer cases and nearly 30% of cancer deaths, the American Cancer Society (ACS) warns in new research. In fact, the organization insists that 4 in 10 cancer cases and nearly half of cancer deaths in American adults 30 and older may have been prevented with a lifestyle change like stopping smoking or losing weight. Dr. Farhad Islami, who penned the Thursday report, said he was “alarmed” that more than 169,800 Americans died in 2019 from smoking. He is calling for tobacco control policies in each state — the ACS finds that raising...

Ivermectin may not just be the anti-parasitic, anti-cancer, anti-viral repurposed drug we recognise but may have multiple other neuroprotective benefits for humanity in an era where we all may be subjected to neurotoxins – some apparent like vaccines and others invisible like electromagnetic frequencies (“EMFs”).Ivermectin for Parkinson’s Disease – MS, Stroke, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Depression, and Schizophrenia? Modulated through P2X4 ReceptorsBy Dr. Justus R. HopeWe all should know that ivermectin is effective not only against river blindness but can be repurposed against many different types of cancer, even against metastatic disease.During the 2020 pandemic, ivermectin saved many lives worldwide, and...

Physician scientists found that people with metastatic kidney cancer who orally took a live biotherapeutic product called CBM588 while in treatment with immunotherapy and enzymatic tyrosine kinase inhibitors experienced improved health outcomes. "CBM588 could be exciting in cancer treatment because of its potential to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor-based treatment, improve patient outcomes and modulate the gut microbiota in beneficial ways," said Pal. "If the positive results observed in this small trial and a previous trial with nivolumab and ipilimumab are confirmed, CBM588 could become a valuable supplement in the treatment of various cancers, particularly for patients treated...

Ann Wilson, lead singer of the rock band Heart, announced she was diagnosed with cancer and that the group will postpone the remaining shows on its Royal Flush Tour. In a statement on Tuesday, the rock legend, 74, said she removed a cancerous growth via surgery and is recovering steadily. Her doctors, however, urged her to undergo preventive chemotherapy and to take time off from performing “in order to fully recover.”

A cancer-stricken elderly man and two others were allegedly beaten by an angry anti-Israel mob after they started livestreaming an “anarchist bookfair” event at a North Carolina library. Monica Buckley, David Moritz and Bob Campbell claim they were physically attacked by roughly two dozen people after sitting in on a “Strategic Lessons from the Palestinian Resistance” seminar at the West Asheville Public Library in Asheville on Saturday, WPDE reported. The trio allege the crowd suddenly turned on them when an attendee noticed the talk — organized by the “Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair” — was being filmed and streamed on social...

In a groundbreaking advancement in cancer research, scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have engineered nanorobots made from “DNA origami” capable of specifically targeting and eliminating cancer cells in mice. This remarkable breakthrough, detailed in a study published today in Nature Nanotechnology, showcases the potential of nanotechnology to revolutionize cancer treatment and offers hope for future human applications. Interestingly, the announcement follows renowned futurist Raymond Kurzweil’s recent bold prediction that advancements in nanorobot technology will soon extend the human lifespan to 1,000 years. In his latest book, The Singularity is Nearer, released June 25, Kurzweil forecasts that by the...

Cancer survivors who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or anything other than straight and cisgender (LGBTQ+) experience more chronic health conditions, disabilities, and other physical and cognitive limitations than non-LGBTQ+ cancer survivors; however, the prevalence of most conditions was highest among transgender or gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals, according to results published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).

Float like a butterfly, sniff out cancer like a bee? Honeybees can detect the subtle scents of lung cancer in the lab — and even the faint aroma of disease that can waft from a patient’s breath. Inspired by the insects’ exquisite olfactory abilities, scientists hooked the brains of living bees up to electrodes, passed different scents under the insects’ antennae and then recorded their brain signals. “It’s very clear — like day and night — whether [a bee] is responding to a chemical or not,” says Debajit Saha, a neural engineer at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Different...

Checkpoint inhibitor therapies can be thought of as the molecular "brake release" for the immune system. These drugs eliminate the protein barriers that impede the immune system from recognizing and targeting cancer cells in the body. While there are multiple checkpoint inhibitors approved to treat different types of cancer, many patients don't respond or develop resistance to available regiments. A team has now found that ruxolitinib, an approved immunosuppressive drug, supercharged T-cell responses when used alongside checkpoint inhibitors—boosting their effectiveness in fighting cancer. These findings are supported by a Phase I clinical trial of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, as well...
