Another year goes by and I still hope and pray that one day cancer will just fade away with something as simple as a vaccine so we can all grow old together.......until next year

When cancer spreads into other parts of the body, such as the bones, liver, or lungs, treatment can stop the progression for long periods of time. But sometimes it appears in the brain because most of the treatments we provide cannot cross into the brain; it has a very protective barrier.
This is one of the biggest unmet needs for breast cancer patients, and new drugs are starting to fill the gap. A recent study showed that a combination of the drugs tucatinib, trastuzumab, and capecitabine resulted in better progression-free survival in HER2-positive breast cancer patients whose cancer had spread to their brain.

Two "smart bomb" drugs are offering new hope to women with aggressive breast cancers, a pair of clinical trials show.
Both medications are antibody-drug conjugates, consisting of a chemo drug that's been wedded to an antibody that delivers the chemotherapy directly to cancer cells.
"That's a way to take the chemo right to the cancer cells and spare the rest of the body a lot of toxicity," said Dr. Shanu Modi, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. "The antibody takes the chemo right to the cancer cells. When the antibody finds its target, the whole complex gets internalized into the cell, and then the chemo gets released inside the cancer cell."
