Today is World Cancer Day. And from everything I went through the last year I can only urge you to go to the doctor regularly for screening appointments. Cancer is on the rise but if you catch it early your chances of survival are rising too.

The latest collection of commentary and Essays in @PLOSBiology is devoted to #immunometabolism.
We highlight how the interplay between systemic metabolism and the immune response impact tissue and organismal functions, as well as the therapeutic potential of manipulating immunometabolism.
⚛️ Nicole Chapman and Hongbo Chi advocate for the use of systems biology approaches as discovery tools for new therapeutic targets
💉 Yun Sok Lee investigates the process of metaflammation, the chronic low-grade inflammatory response that occurs in metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, exploring how systemic changes in metabolism can affect tissue-resident immune cells
🦠 Griffin Gowdy and Alice Prince look at the role of immunometabolites in both driving and combating bacterial infections, with a focus on lung pathogens
🥗 On a more holistic level, Guang Sheng Ling and colleagues suggest a two-pronged approach to target immunometabolism through pharmaceutical and lifestyle interventions, with a focus on cancer
The collection was edited by Claudio Mauro, Lucas Smith and Joanna Clarke

Pregnancy-associated cancers are malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy or within one year of delivery or abortion. These cancers present unique challenges because of the delicate balance required for maternal-fetal health.

Most prostate cancer, if detected early, can be treated and cured. If the cancer has spread, it is typically incurable and symptoms are just managed with hope of some extra time and quality of life.
Guys, please get checked regularly. If your Dr doesn’t mention testing, insist on it. If something just doesn’t feel right, trust that.
Our lives have been turned upside down and inside out with a shocking diagnosis a few weeks ago. If routine testing had been the norm, we may have not have had to face what now lies ahead.
He is not only my husband and best friend, he is my love, my rock, and so much more. I am trying to be strong for him as I am falling apart. I am trying to be strong, but I feel broken. I know I will get through this, but that I will be carrying on without him at some point. I am heartbroken.
Tests, more tests, doctors and specialists, treatment options, monitoring, information, decisions. It’s overwhelming. The healthcare professionals snd the team coordinating care have been amazing, but they can’t fix this.
It feels strange typing this out to people I have never met, but if it helps anyone to not end up where we find ourselves now that would be a good thing.
If you are a GP or other health care provider and a patient comes to you with a general feeling something is wrong, don’t be dismissive when they keep coming back. Don’t make assumptions, and run some damn tests.
Long shot, but is anyone out there working on cancer treatment trials in the UK? My sister's on her last chemo and there don't seem to be any available trials any more.
Boosts and helpful hashtags welcome.

Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person. A new study in mice suggests that certain cancers may actually send a protective signal to the brain that helps clear away the toxic protein clumps linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

New Bills Seek to Rein In Oil Companies’ Pollution of Oklahoma Groundwater

The legislation comes after The Frontier and ProPublica found over 150 incidents where oilfield wastewater had gushed from the earth, releasing toxic chemicals — including some that cause cancer — near homes and farms and into drinking water sources.

Conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy eradicated esophageal cancer in about 70% of patients when combined with immunotherapy in a clinical trial, Kyoto University Hospital said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/23/japan/science-health/esophageal-cancer-treatment/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #cancer #hospitals #kyotouniversity

🎉 Surprise visit to my mom Millie (2x cancer survivor) in Dorchester… and of course, I didn’t leave empty-handed. She packed me off with locrio de arenque con habichuelas—a 🇩🇴Dominican classic.
She’s my hero. ❤️

It's been bad since my cancer scare. Working with a therapist to get it back under control.
#introduction
Hi, I'm Marianne, AKA Noodlemaz!
I've actually been here since 2022 but my old instance just got shut down (med-mastodon refugee). Please follow me again here 🙃
I'm a science communicator based in London, UK.
I'm in London's nerdiest choir, Ready Singer One - we do music from video games, film and TV!
My PhD was in cancer biology; molecular pathology of cancer.
I love games, nature, SciFi friends (hi!), music etc. and look forward to chatting here
