#biopsy — Public Fediverse posts

He had not adequately anesthetized the breast tissue for the biopsy. The needle was an indignity to the heart, sending her involuntarily upright before she registered the pain. Later, tired, lying down, trying not to think of it, the truth of her situation came to her unbidden. Her parents, retired, were moving away. It was possible she would be fending for herself, and shopping churches to bury her. If it came to that. She held the flesh of her breast, cupping it gently. #MastoPrompt #biopsy

Phew, that's a relief. 3 weeks ago I had 2 painful biopsies to check if the lesions on my tongue were a return of the cancer that was surgically removed in 2022. Turns out they're just stubborn mouth ulcers. And...breathe...

Scientists have developed a simple DNA blood test
that can predict how well patients with breast cancer will respond to treatment.

More than 2 million people globally each year are diagnosed with the disease,
which is the world’s most prevalent cancer.
Although treatments have improved in recent decades, it is not easy to know which ones will work best for which patients.
Now researchers have designed a #liquid #biopsy that tells doctors how likely a patient is to respond to a specific treatment -- even before it begins.

The test has the potential to be gamechanging because it means patients could be offered alternative options, and avoid treatments that won’t help them, boosting their chances of beating the disease.

The test, developed by a team at the Institute of Cancer Research, London (ICR),
analyses #circulating #tumour #DNA (ctDNA), which is released into the blood of patients by cancer cells.
Researchers measured these microscopic levels of cancer DNA in blood samples from 167 patients.
The test was trialled before treatment began and again four weeks later, after a single treatment cycle.
There was a strong association between low levels of ctDNA at the start of treatment, and treatment response, according to the team.
A similar association was seen with the results taken at four weeks.

Elderly neighbor had a cool biopsy of a lung. They use a little robot coming in through the airways. The robot picked up some tissue and dropped off a couple of tiny pieces of metal.

They call these "targets". They allow superior targeting of tumors for radiation treatment.

No, they don't go pick them up again if the biopsy comes back negative, 🙂.

Actually getting to enjoy some vacation time this summer. Son and Hubby are already off in China for July. I’ll be heading out for a couple weeks on a cruise to Northern Europe and Scandinavia. So exiting!

Less exciting was two weeks of nasty GI upset and learning I have a “nodule” on my right adrenal gland. Still a biopsy away from understanding more about it.

Thankfully I’m feeling better and trip WILL happen.

Bathing while attempting to keep a foot wound dry is quite exhausting.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be convalescing on the couch.
