@craigmelvin It is great to bring these advancements to light in the fight against cancer. How about doing a series on PREVENTION. Highlighting studies that have shown to keep cancer away, foods to eat that prevent, lifestyle choices etc. Getting this info main stream could make a difference!

Every year, about 85,000 Americans are diagnosed with bladder cancer. While treatment is often successful, bladder cancer has one of the highest rates of recurrence of any cancer. MIT researchers have now developed a new way to regularly monitor those patients, which could enable regrowing tumors to be detected much earlier.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, May, 2025: "The incidence of [colorectal] cancer [has been] increasing the last several years *significantly,* particularly among younger people." What Bourla does not say is that mRNA jabs, including Pfizer's, cause colorectal cancer—see tweets 2 & 3. This clip is of Bourla touting Braftovi (encorafenib), a targeted cancer drug used to treat colorectal cancer. So Pfizer has helped to create the "significant" rise in colorectal cancers, particularly among younger people, and now it's going to profit off the harm with more "treatment."

Cancer is “all a big money game, and it’s dollars first, patient outcome second.” Dr Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology “The current idea that cancer is a genetic disease is based on ideology—not on the science.” “Our American society... doesn’t care about prevention because if they did, there would be no obesity epidemic. But there is. So that tells us the society doesn’t really care about cancer prevention.” In Seyfried’s book, “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease,” he argues we should hit cancer where it hurts most by messing with its fuel supply, like using ketogenic diets to cut off the energy that cancer cells need. It’s a way of thinking about the disease that poses bad news to the profits of the cancer treatment industry.

‼️Dont ignore these early signs of Ovarian Cancer. It is possible to detect #ovariancancer if we are picking up the symptoms early by listening to women and investigating with a transvaginal USS and CA125 blood test **It’s important to know a CA125 and a ultrasound scan can come back normal. So if the tests are normal - STILL continue to track the symptoms and depending on the symptoms, risk factors etc a referral to gynaecologist might be needed for a further investigations such as CT, MRI or a Ovarian biopsy (a procedure where a small sample of tissue from the ovary is removed to check for abnormalities, most commonly to diagnose or stage ovarian cancer)** … thankfully my patient’s Ovarian Cancer was picked up early and now is doing well - post treatment Hope this helps
