@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.

Shocking results, hope restored for cancer patients. Cancer vanished in 100% of the patients, after 6 months trial with a drug, dostarlimab, with no significant side effects, first time in history of cancer. Colorectal/rectal cancer the 5th commonest cancer in Africa, and usually by the time its diagnosed it would have spread throughout the body giving low survival rates with the traditional treatment.

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

Shane, a constituent and friend, is living with a rare, painful disorder. Thanks to breakthrough gene therapy he helped test, there’s hope. But that hope is dwindling. Trump and congressional Republicans want deep cuts to healthcare and rare disease research. We’re fighting with and for Shane, and every family that cannot afford these cuts.

CAC Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: New Heart Disease Test Causes Cancer. Major Organizations Warn Public Against It... 42 Of Every 100K Patients Develop Cancer From Ionizing Radiation. Radiation Dosage Varies 10X From One Hospital To Another, Causing 5,600 New Cases Of Cancer. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology & the United States Preventive Services Task Force do not recommend the use of heart CT scans for patients with a low or high risk of heart disease because CT scans could be more harmful than beneficial due to the relatively high dose of radiation. "Tens of millions of adults would be exposed to relatively high levels of radiation through this procedure. Doctors still have not established a standard dose of radiation to be used for heart CT scans & doses for this test vary from one hospital to another, with some patients getting 10X the amount of radiation as patients in another hospital." A 2009 study showed that one heart CT scan for the 50 million Americans who would receive the average radiation dose, these scans would result in 5,600 new cancer cases. The number of new cancer cases would be even higher if individuals were screened more than once in their lifetime. Radiation from CT scans is even of concern to the FDA even when the CT scans are necessary. On October 9, 2009, the FDA announced that it was notifying healthcare professionals that 206 patients who were being tested for stroke received CT radiation doses that were 8X the expected level at one particular medical facility. While this event involved a single kind of diagnostic test at one facility, the FDA warned that “it reflects more widespread problems with CT quality assurance programs.” Each year, over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease even though heart disease can be prevented. Although heart CT scanning may be a useful tool in detecting blockages in heart arteries, there is not enough evidence to show that this test is worth the risks, especially compared to traditional risk factor assessment. For this reason, the Cancer Prevention & Treatment Fund of the National Research Center for Women & Families agrees with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that heart CT scans are not recommended for screening for heart disease. 👇CAC Screening Radiation 10X Cancer Risk👇 👇Ionizing Radiation Risk From CAC Test👇 👇Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation👇 Video: Dr David Alfrey
