Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes…
I have seen LLMs doing it without intervention.
How long before people intentionally put in typos to make sure people believe an LLM didn’t write a thing?
When 1 X 1 = 1.15 When CVD collides with post‑menopausal obesity, breast‑cancer risk heats up: BMI-linked risk is ~1.15× higher if CVD is present, per analysis of 168K+ women over ~10 years 😳. Dual cardio‑metabolic risk = prime prevention target. #OncoPrevention…
$ATOS CEO likes this study! 🔄 Turning foes into allies 🚨 McGill researchers retrain neutrophils—our frontline immune cells—using TLR agonists + mitochondrial complex I inhibitors to unleash ROS-driven tumor-killing in “cold” breast cancers. A precision strike against TNBC…
What is the $ATOS CEO reading on weekends? 🔬 Circulating HGF levels may help flag breast cancer risk—even years before diagnosis. Study across Chinese & UK cohorts shows higher HGF in postmenopausal women links to ER‑negative tumors (OR ~1.13), and mediates ~27% of…
Low‑dose aspirin in long‑term breast cancer survivors • Danish cohort (n ≈ 20.5 K; 1996–2004; 23 yr follow‑up) • 20‑yr recurrence: 17.8 % (users) vs 22.4 % (non‑users) • Landmark HR for recurrence at 5 yr post‑dx: 0.80 (0.66–0.98) potential anti‑cancer effect…
This gets my attention as CEO of $ATOS 🧬 Unlocking why HR⁺/HER2⁻ breast cancer tanks in 2ᵉ‑line: up to 50% harbor PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN mutations that drive endocrine‑/CDK4/6 resistance. CAPItello‑291 proves combining capivasertib + fulvestrant slashes progression risk by…
⏳ ctDNA positivity in early‑stage #BreastCancer = red flag 🚨 Real‑world data from Flatiron show 5‑yr OS drops from 98% (ctDNA–) to 85% (ctDNA+) — and recurrence spiked across subtypes. A powerful tool to re‑think escalation and personalize adjuvant care. $ATOS is taking…
Big strides at #IBCEast! Early-stage #breastcancer is getting a powerful ally—immunotherapy. KEYNOTE‑522 shows adding pembrolizumab to chemo drives 5‑yr OS to ~86.6 % vs 81.7 % with chemo alone. Promising combos on the horizon with ADCs in both TNBC & HER2+ subtypes.…
Obesity → hyperinsulinemia → insulin receptor activation → KRAS-mutant acinar cell reprogramming → PanIN lesions → pancreatic cancer. Translation: High insulin feeds cancer seeds. Stop the insulin spike—save your pancreas. #CancerPrevention #PancreaticCancer…
The tragedy of Duchene's muscular dystrophy is being addressed with new genetic therapies that will cost almost $10 B US by the year 2030. But recent severe toxicity, including patient death, brings into question those market sizes. In the meantime, treatments targeted at the…
Another biotech casualty in the DMD arms race. Taiho’s late-stage Duchenne candidate just failed. Lesson: targeting dystrophin restoration is not enough. Inflammation is the silent killer in DMD. pharmaphorum.com/news/taihos-la…
President Biden's doctor strangely took the fifth amendment today when questioned about the President's health. I would not have done that. If I were the President’s doctor, I’d refuse to answer questions about his health out of respect for the Hippocratic Oath, not out of…

With 94 issued US #patents I can tell you that this reform, first reported by the @HudsonInstitute is badly needed. thenationalherald.com/congress-can-f…
I believe when you switch the power off and turn it back on, the default is to revert to midnight. Ipso, you run the camera to 11:59, you turn it off, and you have hours to do as you please with the camera off, knowing when you are 'done doing what you want' you turn the power…
The DOJ has been caught cutting a full 60 seconds from the newly released 10+ hour Epstein surveillance footage. Viewers tracking the video noticed a clean jump—the footage cuts off at exactly 11:59:00 and resumes at 12:00:00, with an entire minute missing. No explanation has…
Gene therapy for DMD faces a hidden enemy: inflammation. Yale report calls it underexplored, but it's potentially the key to lasting efficacy. Ignore it, and we may lose ground. Address it, and the promise of #genetherapy becomes real. #biotech #DMD $ATOS…
