Comparator report on patient access to cancer medicines in Europe revisited - a UK perspective
This report shows that the UK is trailing behind the rest of Europe in the treatment of cancer. It finds that British patients have worse survival rates after five years - the international benchmark for measuring the quality of cancer care – compared to the European average in nine out of ten cancers – only exceeding the EU average in melanoma.ReportAPBI - press release

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 17th 2017
This study aimed to estimate associations between combined measurements of BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with mortality and incident coronary artery disease (CAD). This study followed 130,473 UK Biobank participants aged 60-69 years (baseline 2006-2010) for 8.3 years (n = 2974 deaths). Current smokers and individuals with recent or disease-associated (e.g., from dementia, heart failure, or cancer) weight loss were excluded, yielding a "healthier agers" group.
Ignoring WHR, the risk of mortality for overweight subjects was similar to that for normal-weight subjects. However, among normal-weight subjects, mortalit...

PhRMA Report Shows More than 240 Immuno-Oncology Treatments in Development
In early June 2017, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) – in partnership with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) – released a report that found there are over 240 immuno-oncology medicines and vaccines currently in development.
Immuno-oncology treatments are found through research into the role of the body’s immune system in fighting cancer. New immuno-oncology treatment options are allowing the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer similar to the way it fights disease-causing viruses and bacteria. The treatments can help the patient’s own immune system...

A Cost-Effective Method of Senescent Cell Visualization in Living Tissue
Researchers here report on the development of a method to enable real-time visualization of the current degree of cellular senescence present in living tissues, using an improved version of existing florescence techniques. If accurate enough, this could replace the current standard approach of biopsy and staining of the sample for analysis. Note that the paper isn't open access; you'll have to obtain a copy from the usual underground sources. A practical method of assessing cellular senescence burden that works in live animals will be a big step forward for the field, as it should reduce the cost of many of the activities ...

Progress in the Creation of a Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine
Targeting therapies to some combination of neoantigens, distinctive markers on the surface of cancerous cells that the immune system learns to recognize, and which vary from patient to patient, represents an advance in the specificity of targeted cancer immunotherapy. It should, in principle, better rouse the immune system to attack cancerous cells, while producing fewer side-effects. Researchers here report on an early human trial of this sort of approach; the initial results look promising, certainly from the perspective of an absence of serious side-effects, though a more robust demonstration of the ability to reduce tu...

Onco-cardiology, or Cardio-oncology
I was at a Cardiology Education Meeting where a case was presented of a patient receiving a monoclonal antibody for melanoma, who may have then developed myocarditis.Onco-cardiology (or cardio-oncology) is the study of the cardiac effects of cancer treatment but also used to refer to patients who are cancer survivors with a cardiac condition or people living with both conditions.Though not a new term, I don ' t remember coming across it before. Here is some introductory reading:Some recent freely available articles (with links to PubMed):Cardio-Oncology: An Update on Cardiotoxicity of Cancer-Related Treatme...

Examining How Senate Republicans Frame Their Health Care Bill
Discussion Draft of Senate Amendment to H.R. 1628
Help stabilize collapsing insurance markets that have left millions of Americans with no options.
Short-Term Stabilization Fund: To help balance premium costs and promote more choice in insurance markets throughout the country, this stabilization fund would help address coverage and access disruption – providing $15 billion per year in 2018 and 2019; $10 billion per year in 2020 and 2021.
Jason Chung writes: S. 106(h)(1) specifies that these amounts are intended to “fund arrangements with health insurance issuers to address coverage and access disruption…” Rand P...

Summer Safety: How to Treat Your Child ’s Sunburn
Pool time and outdoor play may increase your child’s chance for developing sunburn. Here are some tips from the experts at the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital on the best way to treat your child.
What causes sunburn?
Sunburn appears within 6 to 12 hours after the skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Artificial light sources like sun lamps and tanning beds can also cause sunburns. The skin becomes red and painful, and swelling of the skin, tenderness and blisters can develop. Severe sunburn can also cause nausea, chills and malaise (“feeling sick”). The burned area remains red and pai...

How important is Vitamin D?
FACT: A vitamin D deficiency may result in as much as a 50 percent increased potential for diabetes.
FACT: A vitamin D deficiency puts you at a higher risk for cancer, especially breast, prostate, colon, ovarian, and melanoma.
VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY is a widespread phenomenon with significant implications for health. In modern society vitamin D deficiency is the rule, rather than the exception. While we can blame more severe cases of deficiency on grains, it also commonly occurs independent of grain consumption. The restoration of vitamin D levels is second only to grain elimination when considering the most powerful healthy...
