"The
thing Ben Stiller doesn't understand is that his case is based on one
positive experience," said Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the
American Cancer Society. "He hasn't heard of all of the men who have had
negative experiences [with PSA testing]."

CAR-T cells can be effective protein delivery vehicles to treat lymphoma [FierceBiotech]

|
In
patients with follicular lymphoma, a receptor called HVEM is mutated
half of the time, and the mutations can lead to growth of the cancer. To
combat this, the scientists engineered a CAR-T cell to deliver the HVEM
protein normally produced by healthy cells. And the CAR-T cell acts as a
sort of “micro-pharmacy” that continuously makes the protein locally.

There
are, unfortunately, two major problems with CAR-T therapy. First, it is
dangerous—deaths are not uncommon in clinical trials involving CAR-T.
But for many patients the risk of a fatal reaction to the treatment is
an acceptable one, given the potential benefit. The second principal
concern is that the cancer will come back.

Study Confirms Benefits of Early Palliative Care for Advanced Cancer [NCI]
|

|
|
|
|
In
the current trial, 350 patients with advanced lung or gastrointestinal
cancers—including pancreatic, gastric, and esophageal—were randomly
assigned to receive palliative care along with standard treatment or
standard treatment alone. Patients in the palliative care group received
a visit from a palliative care specialist at least once a month; both
groups were evaluated 12 weeks and 24 weeks after their cancer treatment
had begun.

The
tech giant is cementing partnerships with big health systems and hiring
scores of health care professionals. While the company is keeping mum
about its plans, techie fans hope Apple will become the agent of
transformation that makes patients, rather than providers or EHR
vendors, the guardians of health data.
