ER-resident IRE1 plays a role in #cancer development via enzymatic activation of XPB1 TFs and regulated #RNAdecay. This study shows that some cancer cells also have an unexpected nonenzymatic dependency on IRE1 to promote #CellCycle progression & tumor growth @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3EaNFX4

"These findings suggest that if current radiation dosing and utilization practices continue, CT-associated cancers could eventually account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses annually." No easy answers. The reality is complex and nuanced. #cancer

It's Bowel Cancer Awareness Month Did you know that processed meat is linked to bowel cancer? Swapping meat for plants reduces your risk.

Multiple studies back this up, take a look: https://go.bsky.app/redirect?u=https%3A%2F%2Fviva.org.uk%2Fhealth%2Fhealth-research%2Ffocus-on-bowel-cancer%2F

Medical errors kill, maim and traumatize. As a disability advocate, I hear stories of medical negligence almost every day. I’ve got more than a handful of my own stories.

Few are as egregious a this one.

A young woman seeks help for abdominal pain. At first she’s dismissed as having PCOS.

They later find a 25cm (!!!) cyst on her ovary and proceed to do a total hysterectomy and resect part of her bowel and appendix.

She barely survives, and when she regains consciousness in the ICU is told she’s lost her womb and has stage four cancer.

That alone would be difficult to deal with, but then she’s later told she doesn’t have cancer and the hysterectomy and surgical menopause were unnecessary.

She tries to focus on the positive (not dying of cancer), only to have the medical team change course again and confirm that she actually DOES have stage four cancer but in her appendix and lymph nodes and not her uterus or ovary. Pp

The gauntlet of emotions this woman must be dealing with is heartbreaking.

How a medical team can get something this wrong this many times on ONE patient I will never understand.

As always, try and have an advocate with you at all times. I’m unsure if it would have helped in this scenario, but we all need a second set of eyes and ears in the room.

Ask questions. Get a second opinion. Don’t be afraid to speak up if you feel you’re being mistreated. Reach out online for support from other patients and caregivers… we will help you.
