- RC280.B47.V306.1 - Bile Duct Cancer
Alan P. Venook, MD, Sabrina Selim, MD - Bile duct cancers, also called cholangiocarcinomas,
may arise in many locations in and around the liver.A patient's
prognosis depends largely on where the tumor begins and how large it
has grown by the time of diagnosis.

Alan P. Venook, MD, Sabrina Selim, MD - Gall bladder cancer is usually not found until it
is at an advanced stage and cannot be surgically removed. In the
advanced stages, pain relief and the restoration of normal bile flow
from the liver into the intestines are the principal goals of therapy.

It is estimated that between 10% and 30% of patients will suffer persistent pain after breast surgery... it seems to be a more common occurrence in axillary dissections or total mastectomies than in breast-conserving surgeries

Christopher Benz, MD- Breast cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy; its age-specific incidence profile rises exponentially until menopause and increases more slowly thereafter, reflecting the superimposition of early-onset and late-onset breast cancer rates. Geroscience is still in its infancy. Emergent molecular and cellular hypotheses put forth to explain the cancer-aging relationship are of interest but remain largely untested.

Christopher Benz, MD- Initial studies comparing early-onset and late-onset ER-positive breast cancers for DNA mutations and whole genome aberrations as well as RNA transcriptome differences suggest that epigenetic changes rather than genotypic variation account for most of the age-dependent biological and clinical differences observed in hormone-dependent breast cancer.
