Urinary bladder cancer is among the five most common malignancies worldwide. While early detection and treatment dramatically increases a patient’s chance of survival, existing urinalysis test has serious limitations.
Thus, scientists look forward to the development of a non-invasive urinalysis assays via reliable diagnostic markers that will surely benefit patients at risk and/ or suffering […]
So in my studies I’m finding that I’m not all that unusual in having people disappear after my diagnosis. I won’t go on and on about the how and whys of why this happens to people in a crisis. I won’t go into it again about how much it hurts. I think […]
The daughter of one of my new work friends has been going back and forth to the doctor’s for some “tests” and she got some results today that were rather disconcerting. I honestly can’t remember exactly what she said, but there was mention of abnormal cells and a biopsy. I can’t help but […]
While size and cost is the technology’s wide availability in most cancer centers (only 6 cancer centers have this in the whole of U.S.) – proton therapy - is considered the most advanced form of radiation therapy available.

The first three-dimensional optical images of human breast cancer in patients based on tissue fluorescence have been created by University of Pennsylvania researchers.
Fluorescence diffuse optical tomography, or FDOT, relies on the presence of fluorophore molecules in tissue that re-radiate fluorescent light after illumination by excitation light of a different color.
The reconstructed images demonstrated significant tumor […]
This morning I will go in for my last radiation treatment. Today my active treatment stops and I can stop having daily interactions with doctors. I’ve found the radiation more taxing than the chemo in a lot of ways. At least with chemo I was able to plan: there were days […]

The said proteins - CCSA-3 and CCSA-4 - could be used to develop a blood test to identify at-risk individuals, according to preliminary findings.
According to cancer researcher Robert Getzenberg, Ph.D., professor of […]
I’m still adjusting to the whole idea of cancer. My diagnosis anniversary passed without any notice. I went to work like usual, I sat in a ton of meetings, I came home exhausted and just wanted to sleep. And even though I didn’t spend the entire day dwelling on it, breast cancer […]
Last night I found that my other blog ranked #56 (now #55!) in edrugsearch.com’s Healthcare100.com: The World’s Top Blogs on Health and Medicine.
While I already saw that most of b5media’s science and health blogs are already there, I decided to submit Cancer Commentary for inclusion in the ranking.
Therefore, this morning, comes the updated ranking which […]
