Dr. Michael Atkins, a medical oncologist who specializes in melanoma, talks about the results of the DREAMseq trial and how the information will hopefully extend life for more patients with advanced melanoma
A screening study is one that tests new ways to find disease early; a surveillance study investigates methods to monitor an unusual finding – such as a cyst or mole – that may or may not turn into cancer. This issue explores several such trials in breast and pancreas cancers.
This trial compares two common surveillance methods for people with at least one non-cancerous cyst in the pancreas, to measure which one leads to better outcomes. The study may also uncover findings that could predict the behavior of these cysts.
Dr. Christopher Comstock, a radiologist who specializes in breast cancer imaging, talks about the results of clinical trial EA1141 and how it will hopefully give far more women access to a powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer
