Good afternoon #Cansky

It’s AYA Cancer Awareness Week. Adolescence and young adults are faced with unique challenges after a cancer diagnosis.

Whether it’s financial toxicity, delaying professional development in careers, fertility, or other things.

It’s a lot and it’s not talked about enough.

Frontiers | Unravelling prostate cancer risk and protective factors among urology patients in a Tanzanian population BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among men globally. The prevalence is disproportionate among men...

New: "The intake of red meat was positively associated with the incidence of PCa, whilst the intake of tomatoes, soya and coffee consumption were associated with reduced PCa incidence in our study population." #prostatecancer #cansky #oncology #oncsky #plantbased

Nice. Is it unsupported because it showed mixed results? Lack of cost-effectiveness? Or is it just not supported by any evidence?

Awareness matters – but so does what comes after.

For many testicular cancer patients, #survivorship should include:
✔️Emotional support
✔️Fertility planning
✔️Hearing health monitoring

Let’s keep the conversation going. What does survivorship mean to you? #testicularcancer

When someone explains survivorship post cancer diagnosis. #Cansky

Sorry folks I don’t have any patience for this on my page. Maybe it’s harsh, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, this is what I’m talking about… cancer patients daily will hear this bull shit. #Cansky

Analysis of microarray and single-cell RNA-seq identifies gene co-expression, cell–cell communication, and tumor environment associated with metabolite interconversion enzyme in prostate cancer Cancer does not have a universally agreed-upon description, but it is characterized by the unregulated proliferation of cells, which may result in the infiltration of the cell basement or the spread to other organs in the body.

In a Discover Oncology Behind The Paper blog post, the author discusses new perspectives on the molecular properties and pathways of differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer and potential biomarkers that play a crucial role in its genesis.

#Cansky don’t allow somebody to minimize your cancer diagnosis. No matter what stage, grade, type, etc., until somebody has set in a chair and told they have cancer. They have no room to speak.

It's been an exciting week around here - let's end it on a high note with this week's #ACSFriday5!

Here are five new papers from our ACS researchers that we think are worthy of a little extra attention this week:

My patient would rather take a peptide than a statin. That reveals an uncomfortable truth in medicine “The volume of evidence behind a therapy has become inversely correlated with public trust in it,” writes Vikas Patel.

"What is happening right now is ... the wholesale substitution of consumer enthusiasm 4 clinical evidence. My pt is refusng a drug studied in 170K people because of side effects that a 124K person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans ..." 1/2 #CanSky

It's a tragedy that so many #oncsky and #cansky folks do not know about using gel/ice packs while getting your infusion helps prevent some of the nerve damage / neuropathy. My wife was 4-5 months in before she found out and that's using Scharr in VA and Johns Hopkins. They just fail to mention it

Gotta do what you can. This new chemo (Gem/Tax) is beating her down. #oncsky #cansky
