Oncology massage has been traditionally contraindicated in patients with thromboembolism, but studies show oncology massage improves symptoms and quality of life.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the safety and patient reported outcomes of massage in oncologic patients with a recent history of VTE.Methods: After obtaining UT MD Anderson institutional review board approval, 25 patients who received oncology massage for symptom relief and quality of life, following the diagnosis of VTE were retrospectively reviewed. Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) scores were reviewed pre- and post-massage, as well as complications within 30 days requiring return to the Emergency Room or hospital re-admission.Results: 19 patients with complete ESAS scores reported a significant improvement in pain, fatigue, anxiety and well-being. Eleven patients (44%) returned to the emergency department within 30 days of their most recent massage, due to disease progression, fatigue and diarrhea. None of the 25 patients had complications due to massage. One patient experienced a new VTE 7 days after finishing massage, (patient was off anti-coagulation secondary to a pseudoaneurysm bleed).Conclusions: Our study suggests that if precautions are taken not to massage the anatomic site of the VTE, patients are afebrile and have >50,000 platelets with no coagulopathy, oncologic massage is a safe, non-invasive intervention even following VTE for improvement in generalized pain, fatigue and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":16252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Oncology","volume":"75 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86166086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An annual estimation of 1500 instances may be elucidated with CLL in the developed world. The disease may be detected coincidentally at a median age of 72 years or may clinically manifest with a coexistent tumor encumbrance, autoimmune disorders or infections. An ALC of mature-appearing lymphocytes greater than 5000 cells/μL with an immune reactivity to CD5+, CD19+, CD23+, and a kappa/lambda light chain restriction of the surface immunoglobulin may be delineated. The disorder may be labeled as SLL in situations where the ALC persists below 5000 cells/μL [1]. SLL frequently arises in the middle-aged or elderly individuals and generally elucidates a favorable outcome. It may be discovered coincidentally in lymph nodes examined for suspected carcinomas. The condition may usually be discovered at a median age of 72 years. An estimated 10% of the implicated individuals may be first degree relatives of CLL patients or below 50 years of age [1]. The disease demonstrates a male predominance with a male to female ratio (M:F) of 2:1. The environmental factors engendering the lymphocytic transformation may be indeterminate, though the exposure to agent orange in specific war veterans may be considered [1].","PeriodicalId":16252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Oncology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81973829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many side effects known post-mastectomy. Some of which are pain tenderness, swelling at the surgery site, lymphadenopathy, buildup of blood in the wound (hematoma), the buildup of clear fluid in the wound (seroma), limited arm or shoulder movement, numbness in the chest or upper arm, neuropathic pain [1]. Mastectomy also caused the psychological impact on half of the patients, which included fear of cancer, feeling of body incompleteness, inconvenience in working and social communication, less sexual act and low spirit [2]. Lymphedema in women treated for breast cancer is an accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the arm that occurs when axillary lymphatic drainage from the arm is interrupted because of axillary lymph node dissection or axillary radiation or both [3]. Lymphedema is still of great concern as no modern modalities have shown significant results in reducing lymphedema. This leads to dysfunction in the shoulder joint and restriction in joint range. Three stages of lymphedema have been described in studies that are: Stage I presents with pitting and is considered reversible; some women with this stage have no increased arm girth or heaviness and no signs of pitting edema. As the edema progresses, it becomes brawny, fibrotic, nonpitting and irreversible in stage II. In advanced lymphedema i.e. in stage III, which rarely occurs following breast cancer treatments, cartilaginous hardening occurs, with papillomatous outgrowths and hyperkeratosis of the skin [4-6]. Chronic lymphedema gives rise to a chronic inflammatory state and consequent fibrosis that make the joint range more difficult to treat with pain [7]. This further leads to symptoms such as pain, disfigurement, and disability.","PeriodicalId":16252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Oncology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84030106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hereby report a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of breast in a 31-yearold female who presented with a left breast lump of 2 months duration. Lumpectomy done at another non-oncology centre showed invasive ductal carcinoma with margin positivity for which she underwent modified radical mastectomy at our institute. Post-operative immune-histopathology revealed triple negative squamous cell carcinoma. Her metastatic work-up with whole-body positron emission tomography scan was negative. She was treated with adjuvant chemotherapy doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and docetaxel followed by loco-regional radiotherapy to left chest wall which she tolerated well. No hormonal therapy was given in view of hormone receptor negativity. She is presently on follow-up for more than 6 months without any evidence of recurrence or distant metastasis. This case is being presented to highlight its extreme rarity, it’s occurrence in a young female, the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges it presented and the overall prognosis of this neoplasm.","PeriodicalId":16252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Oncology","volume":"24 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81135771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among those screening tests that have been shown to lead to reduction in cancer deaths 2 tissue biomarkers, PSA and CA-125 have shown to contribute to clinical utility. No tumor marker has however been identified to date that is sufficiently sensitive or specific to be used on its own to screen for cancer. Screening for circulation tumor cells as a new biomarker in the blood therefore seems like an attractive possibility. Cancer is known to spread circulating tumor cells before symptoms occur. Therefore, we have screened 1,585 asymptomatic individuals of age 20 to 80 with no known cancer risk factors. 27 individuals showed one or more circulating tumor cell in a 7.5 ml blood sample, which constitutes a positive circulating tumor cell test, based on the iCellate IsoPicTM laboratory test. That number compares favourably with the cancer incidence of 157.1 per 100,000 people per year in Peru, given that the screening results would be expected to correspond to an accumulated incidence of up to 12 years. The present findings therefore identify circulating tumor cells as a promising new cancer screening test.","PeriodicalId":16252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Oncology","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80398068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
