My therapist asking me if I had a youtube channel for general cancer info last week honestly got me thinking. Professionally I AM a cancer educator and my audience is other healthcare professionals, but god so daunting to think of presenting to audiences larger than 50 or so at a time :S it has always been a passion to digest high level research and then translate it into understandable language - - I do it a lot for family+friends dealing with ominous or confusing medical news. Idk! He put it really well when he said even my "basic" knowledge can help people better understand some of the most life-altering medical realities affecting them.

Lower drug pricing does not follow from an expansion of innovative medicine indications, according to Dutch researchers. They claim pharma companies often fail to pass on their financial gain to patients and health services. If more patients are prescribed a certain medicine, the price could be reduced because pharmaceutical companies can recoup the research costs incurred more quickly, researchers from Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam claim. This finding emerges from their study published in the peer-reviewed PLoS ONE journal last February. The study considers the possible financial effects of a broader use of two cancer drugs, pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and daratumumab (Darzalex), which have already been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US. “Pharmaceutical companies are responsible for their own pricing strategy; it is not up to academics to dictate what exact price reduction to accept,” study first author Renaud Heine told Euractiv. However, when asked about the potential of this new pricing method, the Dutch Association for Innovative Medicines (VIG), which is a member of EFPIA, cited arguments raised by economics professor Lieven Annemans that the proposed model change does not value true innovation and that value-based pricing remains more appropriate. Indication broadening and pricing Heine explained they aimed to study the effect of indication broadening on price when applying cost-based pricing (CBP). “Our results indicate that cost-based prices drop consistently after indication broadening and are below known list prices,” he said. Building on the CBP model developed by two researchers, Uyl-de Groot and Löwenberg, in 2018, the research group explored price changes of these medicines if there was a continuous indication expansion. Both drugs are immuno-oncology drugs. Pembrolizumab was first used for only one type of tumour, but now it is prescribed for approximately 35 different indications for various types of tumours. Daratumumab was initially used for one type of cancer, multiple myeloma. It is now prescribed for eight other indications within multiple myeloma. While development costs for new drugs can be significantly high for the first indication, they become lower with each expansion of use in new indications. However, this financial gain for pharmaceutical companies is often not passed on to society despite the lower costs, the researchers say.

Okay! Now it's your turn! Tell me about your DNP project (or any of your dream projects) that you could share at a conference
Loadedddd question, haha!
I technically don't have to land on a project until this coming Spring term (April 2025), but I have been thinking about it. Since my DNP is associated with also becoming an NP, our instructors would like us to focus on how to implement things on the provider side of things versus nursing (though I think that is a bit unfair, considering the majority of my knowledge is nursing, and I'm also here to improve patient lives and outcomes, not just the provider process... but ya know).
So far my ideas include the process of implementing and managing blood glucose in stem cell transplant patients who have acute/chronic graft versus host disease, are in the inpatient setting, and are on high-dose steroids. Steroid-induced DM, or just exacerbate someone's DM! Right now, it is pretty well known that we are okay with blood glucose levels below 180 (typically between 140-180 is tolerated), but steroids make life a lot more tricky, especially when these patients can be on these steroids for *months*. I'm hoping I get to do a rotation on the transplant unit to find out their process (since I don't currently work there). This one is directly tied to how providers order and institute blood glucose management (insulin, sliding scales, etc), and I believe we can always do better when it comes to managing blood glucose.
My second idea (that likely has NO literature on it whatsoever, so it is unlikely to be a process I get to change any time soon, plus it is directly tied to nursing medication administration and not the provider side of medicine) is how we administer Daratumumab (a monoclonal antibody for multiple myeloma). It is frequently given as a subcutaneous injection these days (IV formulation still available), and it is 15 mLs over 5 minutes into the stomach once a week for about 8 weeks, then every two weeks for another 8 weeks, and then once a month until progression of disease. In this case, as someone who has given this drug hundreds of times at two different institutions, I wanted to see if I could implement a new quality improvement on how the drug is administered (a straight needle versus a butterfly needle).
Anecdotally, I have heard from nurses and patients that the butterfly needle is typically preferred. Some patients reported decreased discomfort with the butterfly needle, both during administration and hours after, and others didn't even notice. If you push the med too fast (15 mLs is a lot at once!), there can be discomfort. As for the nurses, we have better control over the syringe and have better ergonomics with a butterfly needle. When using a straight needle, you are holding the needle and syringe up against the skin and are leaning over the patient, which can be uncomfortable for the back and shoulders. You have the ability to sit back more and have more steady control over pushing the syringe when utilizing the butterfly needle. (We typically taped the butterfly needle down, which I think also decreases unnecessary needle movement). At least from what I have seen, there is no standard across the board for administration (just subcutaneous into the abdominal area).
I would love to compile some data on patient and nursing feedback on both administration techniques to get the ball rolling (but it sounds more research-based than quality improvement, and I guess I kind of disagree, but my instructors would argue with me... especially after this summer term. However, it is nursing-focused, not provider-focused, and there is unlikely to be any literature (multiple myeloma is a very small subset of blood cancer, and I pigeon-holed myself on data during my first research course in this program. I ran with it, but it was slim evidence to work with, and it was just around multiple myeloma and stem cell transplantation. I doubt anyone has even considered nursing preference in administration technique for one specific immunotherapy drug *laughs*). I'll get to this one day! Unfortunately, while I talked about it a lot with my fellow nurses in both Denver and here in Portland, I never had a way to implement a change or gather data (though before I left Denver, we changed from the straight technique to the butterfly needle. No idea what data was behind it, but the pharmacy drew up the drug and provided it with the butterfly needle. Daratumumab isn't hazardous, so my Portland job just gave us the bottle, lol)
I am also interested in palliative care (though that might be a project too big to chew for the size we have to limit ourselves to. My mentor Patti literally did her project on the barriers to mass transfusion protocol documentation. All she did was obtain qualitative data from the trauma ICU nurses voluntarily). Our mock project for our quality improvement course this summer was on palliative care in heart failure, and I know my classmate wants to take that and run with it. I also am far more interested in palliative care in oncology. But I couldn't say what I would want to do for a project other than something in palliative care and oncology.
Our instructors (and the class ahead of us, haha) would also love it if we took a previous project and continued it, but none of the current third years have a project I want to continue (no oncology!). I don't want to do a project I am not invested in or interested in.
I may come up with other ideas once we get further into our management courses and start clinicals in February (kajsdlkfjklajsdfl), but I am pretty passionate about DM treatment/management, stem cell transplants, oncology, and palliative care.
(I almost signed up for the elective about submitting abstracts and posters, but I chickened out and went with Institutional Racism. As I said, I have lowered my expectations, lmao. It has been a weird year. I have met some very impressive nursing greats - I effing met the creator of the Tanner's Model of Clinical Judgement. Mind. Blown!)

In a Bind
Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer affecting plasma cells, white blood cells that produce antibodies, causing them to multiply abnormally in the bone marrow. Right now, only half of patients can expect to survive five years after diagnosis, so better treatments are sorely needed. Promising targets include fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), a multi-functional family of proteins that can pick up lipids, involved in a variety of processes. A recent study found that cultured myeloma cells (pictured, their nuclei in blue) expressed high levels of one member in particular, FABP5 (in red); blocking it reduced cell proliferation, while patients with higher FABP5 levels tended to experience worse outcomes. Inhibiting FABPs more broadly appeared even more effective, improving survival in some mice with myeloma. To build on these results, further research needs to investigate why not all mice responded so well, and whether inhibiting FABPs would be safe and effective in humans.

Got an email from Feds 4 Medical Freedom that may interest everyone. I copied and pasted what I could...
DOCTOR’S NOTE
An old adage goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." And, so, it is with ivermectin, the antiparasitic drug that emerged from the COVID pandemic as the 'best in show' blue ribbon winner for the prevention and treatment of SARS CoV-2-associated spike protein disease.
First proven to be a safe and effective treatment for River Blindness and Elephantitis, ivermectin rapidly became the most important drug for the control of parasitic infections in humans, winning for its Japanese discoverer, Satoshi Omura of Kitasato University, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. Then, the late (great) Dr. Vladimir Zelenko brought ivermectin into the limelight during the early days of the COVID pandemic, saving thousands of lives in the process. But it turns out that ivermectin has more tricks up its therapeutic sleeve than we ever imagined.
There is now a wealth of laboratory research showing that ivermectin has great potential in the treatment of a wide range of cancers: melanoma, sarcoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, glioblastoma, and cancers of the breast, ovary, prostate, lung, pancreas, esophagus, and colon. The various pathways by which ivermectin kills cancer cells (while leaving normal cells alone) are as impressive as the number of different cancers it seems capable of nailing.
But while the laboratory data about the efficacy of ivermectin in killing cancer cells is converging and compelling, it suffers from a major problem: it's a drug that has been off patent for decades. As a result, there's no patent-pay day fortune to be made by the pharmaceutical industry were it to spend the (average) $2.3 billion dollars required to repurpose ivermectin and have it approved by the FDA for use in cancer patients.
Fortunately, there are a few (unfriendly) countries that are not interested in spending a fortune inadequately treating patients with cancer, which is about where the world stands today. Notably, China and Iran have moved ahead to evaluate ivermectin in human clinical trials. The trick in the United States and in other western pharma-controlled countries will be to find a way to conduct and fund clinical trials apart from traditional funding sources, which can be counted on to look the other way for as long as possible.
Cancer is our enemy; has been for decades. Ivermectin appears to be its enemy, too. Could it be that ivermectin is our friend? We ought to find out, we need to find out, we need to know as soon as possible.

Multiple Myeloma Treatment in India
Tumblr media
Multiple myeloma is a Blood disorder disease usually called Blood Cancer. Multiple myeloma can be treated by the Bone marrow transplant process.
In the initial stages of multiple myeloma, there are no symptoms but as the disease progresses, it may show some symptoms –
•          Bone Fractures
•          Bone pain
•          Tiredness/fatigue
•          Appetite loss/ weight loss
•          Kidney function problems
What is Multiple myeloma?
Basically, Multiple myeloma releases chemicals that create an imbalance in bone destruction and bone formation. This may cause a hole in bones or bone thinning. 
Multiple myeloma generally occurs in men than women. It is gradually increasing in urban India.
What causes multiple myeloma?
There is a condition known as monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance. Where there is an excess of protein molecules, called immunoglobins, in your blood.
Black people are more likely to develop multiple myeloma than other people.
Family history of multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma diagnosed in the mid 60’s.
Procedure to diagnose of Multiple myeloma
Test and procedure to diagnose multiple myeloma –
Blood Test – In this test, it may reveal M Proteins produced by myeloma cells.
Urine Test – Anaylsis of your urine test may show M proteins
Imaging Test – This test may be recommended to check bone problems associated with multiple myeloma. It may include X-Ray, CT Scan, MRI
Treatment of Multiple myeloma
Different types of doctors work together to create a patient’s overall treatment plan that combines different types of treatment.
Treatment plan may include different phases –
Induction therapy – for rapid control of cancer and to help relieve symptoms.
Chemotherapy or Bone marrow transplant/ Stem cell transplant
Maintenance therapy – over a long period of time to prevent cancer occurrence.
Types of medications used for multiple myeloma –
Chemotherapy - a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast growing cells in your body.
Targeted Therapy - a type of cancer treatment, that uses drugs to target specific genes and protiens that help cancer cells survive and grow.
Steriods - An anti-inflammatory medicines used to treat a range of conditions.
Immunotherapy - a type of cancer treatment that increases immune system to fight cancer. It helps your body fight against infections.
Bone-modifying drugs
Stem Cell Transplant
Stem cell transplantation is a treatment choice for individuals with multiple myeloma. There are three general kinds of transplantation  :-
● Autologous transplantation - The Stem cells are gotten  from your own blood or bone marrow. This is the kind of transplantation that is generally ordinarily suggested for treating multiple myeloma.
● Allogeneic transplantation - The Stem cells or bone marrow are gotten from a donor  with a tissue type matching yours. This kind of transplantation conveys exceptionally high risk and isn't suggested for the vast majority with numerous myeloma.
● Syngeneic transplantation - The stem cells or bone marrow are obtained from an identical twin. This is the ideal type of transplantation, albeit barely any individuals with different myeloma have an indistinguishable twin who can act as a donor.
Transplantation, when effective, prompts a reduction and drags out endurance; seldom, allogeneic transplantation fixes different myeloma. Notwithstanding, transplantation has a few limits. The high-portion chemotherapy given before transplantation generally neglects to kill all of the plasma cells, permitting the condition to backslide after transplantation. Such treatment likewise expands your gamble of serious contaminations and dying, which can be deadly.
Autologous foundational microorganism transplantation — Autologous stem cell organism transplantation alludes to transplantation with your own undeveloped cells. During this system, stem organisms are gathered and frozen for sometimes in the future. High-portion chemotherapy is then given to kill however many plasma cells as could be expected under the circumstances, and the stem organisms are defrosted and gotten back to your body. Foundational microorganisms can be acquired from the blood or the bone marrow; for this situation, getting them from the blood is liked, on the grounds that blood undeveloped cells move to tissues all the more rapidly and are less inclined to be tainted with malignant plasma cells.
As of now, autologous stem cell transplantation is appropriate for up to 50 percent of individuals with multiple myeloma. Autologous undeveloped cell transplantation isn't suggested for individuals with seething multiple myeloma (individuals with multiple myeloma who have no side effects).
Who treats multiple myeloma?
Orthopedic Surgeon, a doctor who uses surgery to treat diseases of  bones.
Radiation oncology, a doctor who treats cancer with radiation therapy.
Medical oncologist, a doctor who treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
Bone marrow transplant Specialist, a doctor who specializes in performing bone marrow transplants.

Advancing Multiple Myeloma Treatment: The Impact of Novel Drug Innovations
Tumblr media
The Complex Landscape of Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex and often challenging hematologic cancer marked by the abnormal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. This disease significantly disrupts normal blood cell production and leads to various complications, including weakened bones, kidney impairment, and increased susceptibility to infections. Although treatment options have advanced over the years, the incurable nature of MM necessitates ongoing research and innovation to improve patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.
Breakthrough Drug Classes Shaping the Future
The advent of novel drug classes has dramatically altered the treatment landscape for multiple myeloma. These therapies leverage unique mechanisms of action that target the disease more effectively, offering new hope to patients and healthcare providers alike.
Proteasome Inhibitors: Proteasome inhibitors, such as bortezomib and carfilzomib, have emerged as crucial components in multiple myeloma therapy. By inhibiting the proteasome, these drugs prevent the degradation of pro-apoptotic proteins, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances within myeloma cells and ultimately causing cell death. Their incorporation into treatment protocols has significantly enhanced the survival rates of both newly diagnosed and relapsed patients.
Immunomodulatory Drugs (IMiDs): Thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide represent a groundbreaking class of agents that modulate the immune response to cancer. IMiDs not only induce apoptosis in malignant cells but also create a more favorable environment for immune cells to operate. Their effectiveness in various treatment settings has solidified their role as cornerstones in managing multiple myeloma.
Monoclonal Antibodies: Monoclonal antibodies like daratumumab and isatuximab have revolutionized the treatment paradigm by specifically targeting CD38, a surface protein expressed on myeloma cells. By engaging the immune system to attack these cells, these therapies have shown remarkable efficacy, particularly in patients who have undergone multiple lines of treatment, resulting in improved response rates and longer survival.
CAR T-Cell Therapy: The introduction of CAR T-cell therapy has marked a new era in multiple myeloma treatment. This innovative approach involves engineering a patient’s own T-cells to recognize and attack myeloma cells. CAR T-cell therapy has demonstrated impressive results in clinical trials, offering hope to patients with relapsed or refractory disease who have exhausted other treatment options.
Bispecific T-cell Engagers (BiTEs): Bispecific T-cell engagers, including teclistamab and elranatamab, represent an exciting new category of therapy. These agents are designed to simultaneously bind to T-cells and myeloma cells, effectively bridging the two and facilitating a targeted immune attack. The potential of BiTEs to enhance treatment responses is paving the way for their integration into standard care.
The Essential Role of Clinical Research
Clinical trials are instrumental in shaping the future of multiple myeloma treatment. These studies evaluate new therapies' safety and efficacy, driving the development of innovative treatment combinations. For example, combining proteasome inhibitors with monoclonal antibodies is a promising area of research, showing improved efficacy and deeper responses in clinical settings. By participating in clinical trials, patients gain access to cutting-edge therapies while contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge.
Embracing Personalized Medicine in Treatment Approaches
Personalized medicine is becoming a cornerstone of multiple myeloma management, driven by advances in genomic profiling and biomarker identification. These tools allow for the customization of treatment plans based on individual patient characteristics and disease profiles. By tailoring therapies to specific genetic mutations or biological markers, healthcare providers can improve treatment efficacy and minimize side effects, ultimately enhancing the patient experience.
Conclusion: A Bright Future for Multiple Myeloma Patients
The landscape of multiple myeloma treatment is rapidly evolving, thanks to the introduction of novel drug classes and innovative therapeutic approaches. With the integration of personalized medicine and ongoing research, there is renewed hope for transforming multiple myeloma from a life-threatening disease into a manageable condition. As the medical community continues to explore new frontiers in treatment, patients can look forward to improved outcomes and a better quality of life, signaling a promising future in the fight against multiple myeloma.

Stem Cell Threrapy  in the UK: What to Expect
In recent years, stem cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary field within medicine, offering new hope for patients suffering from a variety of chronic diseases and injuries. As research continues to advance, stem cell therapy is becoming increasingly accessible in the UK, providing innovative treatment options for conditions that were once deemed untreatable. This article explores what patients can expect when considering stem cell therapy in UK, from the underlying principles of the treatment to the processes involved and the potential outcomes.
Tumblr media
Understanding Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy involves the use of stem cells to repair, regenerate, or replace damaged tissues or organs. Stem cells are unique cells that have the ability to develop into various types of cells in the body, including muscle, nerve, and blood cells. This remarkable potential makes them invaluable in regenerative medicine.
There are two primary types of stem cells used in therapy: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from early-stage embryos and have the capability to differentiate into any cell type. On the other hand, adult stem cells, which can be found in various tissues such as bone marrow or fat, are more limited in their differentiation potential but are often used in treatments due to their lower ethical concerns and easier accessibility.
Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Therapy
In the UK, stem cell therapy is being explored for an array of conditions, ranging from hematological disorders to degenerative diseases. Some of the most common conditions treated include:
1. Blood Disorders
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been a cornerstone of treatment for blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. In this procedure, stem cells are harvested from the patient or a donor and transplanted into the patient after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The goal is to restore healthy blood cell production.
2. Neurological Conditions
Research into the use of stem cells for neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injuries, is rapidly advancing. Stem cells have the potential to repair damaged nerve cells, potentially improving motor function and quality of life for patients with these challenging conditions.
3. Orthopedic Injuries
Stem cell therapy is gaining traction in orthopedics, particularly for conditions such as osteoarthritis and tendon injuries. Treatment involves injecting stem cells into damaged joints or tissues to promote healing and regeneration. Many patients report significant pain relief and improved mobility following treatment.
4. Cardiovascular Diseases
Innovative studies are investigating the use of stem cells to repair heart tissue damaged by heart attacks or chronic cardiovascular conditions. The aim is to enhance cardiac function and improve outcomes for patients with heart disease, which remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.
What to Expect During the Treatment Process
For those considering stem cell therapy in the UK, understanding the treatment process is essential. Here is a step-by-step overview:
1. Initial Consultation
The journey begins with an initial consultation with a qualified healthcare professional or specialist. During this meeting, the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals are discussed. The healthcare provider will assess whether stem cell therapy is a suitable option based on the individual’s specific condition.
2. Diagnostic Testing
Following the consultation, patients may undergo various diagnostic tests to evaluate the severity of their condition. These tests can include blood work, imaging studies, or other assessments to provide a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s health status. The findings from these tests are crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment plan.
3. Treatment Planning
Once a diagnosis is established, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This plan outlines the specific type of stem cell therapy recommended, the expected duration of treatment, and any additional therapies that may be beneficial. Patients will also receive information about the source of the stem cells, whether they are derived from their own body or a donor.
4. Stem Cell Collection
The method of stem cell collection varies depending on the type of therapy. For hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, stem cells may be harvested from the bone marrow or peripheral blood. In contrast, adipose-derived stem cells can be obtained through a minimally invasive liposuction procedure. Throughout this process, healthcare professionals ensure that the patient remains comfortable and informed.
5. Administration of Stem Cells
Once the stem cells are harvested and processed, they are administered to the patient. This can be done through an intravenous infusion or direct injection into the affected area, depending on the treatment type. The administration is typically performed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day.
6. Post-Treatment Care and Monitoring
After the stem cell treatment, patients are closely monitored for any immediate reactions or complications. Follow-up appointments are essential for tracking progress and assessing the treatment’s effectiveness. Patients may also receive guidance on rehabilitation or supportive therapies to enhance recovery and maximize the benefits of stem cell therapy.
Potential Benefits and Risks
Stem cell therapy offers numerous potential benefits, including the ability to stimulate healing and regeneration. Many patients report significant improvements in their symptoms, reduced pain, and enhanced quality of life following treatment. The innovative nature of stem cell therapy also means that it continues to evolve, with ongoing research exploring new applications and techniques.
However, it is vital to recognize that, like any medical treatment, stem cell therapy comes with its risks. Possible complications may include infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to the procedure. Furthermore, the long-term effects of stem cell therapies are still being researched, and patients should be aware that success can vary from person to person.
Conclusion
Stem cell therapy in the UK represents a significant advancement in medical science, offering new hope for patients with a range of conditions. As understanding and research surrounding this innovative treatment continue to progress, more individuals may benefit from its regenerative potential.
