How effective is topical cream imiquinod in treating melanoma in situ?
@crystalduque75595 күн бұрын
There are tons of different strains of probiotics . I recommend them regularly but it’s not brands at CVS etc. I would look into giving patient L-glutamine to help reduce all cause autoimmune response from immunotherapy. If immunotherapy has the ability to loosen the tight junction of the gut, L-Glutamine /glutamate is the main amino acid used to repair and keep the tight junction tight. There are no side effects of using l-glutamine. Patients with cancer treatment need more of it anyways 👍 but it’s a worth a study

Being stage 4 with brain mets I have had the....pleasure... of trying several of these treatments. Keytruda worked well for me when i was initially diagnosed stage 3c. Mek/Taf worked very well but i had to stop it because of side effects. IL2 was pretty rough but it worked well for me. I was in bad shape before I started it. I had no luck with IPI/NIVO. Currently on opdualag and am seeing decent results so far.

Hi, I had 3 biopsies done a couple of weeks ago. My upper mid scalp is Malignant melanoma. There's a lot I don't understand about the pathology report. A few diagnoses facts: Level of invasion: At least IV. Greatest Thickness: At least 1.83 mm. TILS- Brisk and Pathologic Stage: pT2b Nx Mx and there is ulceration present. I had 3 more done last week and am going to my Dermatologist this week for a treatment plan. Any input would be great.

I had My first surgery that included My lymph nodes under My arm removed in 2017. I have since then had several surgeries and My Oncologist and Dermatologist have said I need more than 2 dozen surgeries and that's just the beginning. I don't have good insurance and can't afford to fight it anymore. I've had one biopsy that was Melanoma positive in 2019 and haven't had any surgery to remove it. I did tanning beds before any rules were in place and I did that for 20+ years. And I grew up in California and We never used sunscreens growing up. Even if I had all the surgeries, I don't believe I'd win the battle. So, I've accepted My fate thanks to our medical system. None of My Doctor's have offered Clinical trials, which might save My life because I don't have the money to fight it. Any thoughts appreciated.

Sounds good, but that has not been my personal experience. In 2012 had a clear margin cut and skin taken from elsewhere, only for the melona in situ to come back in the same spot 5 yrs later. The second deep cut did not work either in 2018. Lesions appear to improve with things that target my immune system, rather than cutting deep holes in my face.

In a full skin exam does the scribe need to see EVERYTHING or are there parts where the scribe looks away?
So I just had one removed. But they want to go in and get more out because it could have a “root”. Does that mean that it could be at a different stage?

Doesn't sound right. Moh's Surgery cuts around it and then immediately stains it to make sure ALL borders around the tumor are clear of any melanoma cells. The staining process takes about 2 hours. Meanwhile they cover the wound and you wait until word comes letting you know they didn't get it all and need to cut more, or they found no melanoma cells and now all you need is to be stitched up. For them to say it could have root and not know sounds fishy and very unprofessional to me.

Braf isnt in normal cells??
@FromTheClinicToTheLivingroom3 ай бұрын
Yes, all cells in the body have the BRAF gene. The BRAF gene is located on chromosome seven and encodes the B-Raf protein, which regulates cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation. When the BRAF gene is working properly, it's an important part of how cells function. However, a faulty BRAF gene, also known as a mutation, can work against the body and allow some cancers to grow- melanoma is the most common cancer where the BRAF mutations are found.

I found a spot on my head about 2” above my ear. Is the biopsy painful?
@FromTheClinicToTheLivingroom3 ай бұрын
A skin biopsy on the head, such as a scalp biopsy, is not very painful. The procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic into the skin with a small needle, which may cause a slight prick and stinging sensation. The area may also burn briefly for about 10 seconds after the freezing medication is applied, similar to getting a tooth frozen at the dentist. After that, you shouldn't feel any pain during the biopsy. However, you may experience mild discomfort, such as pressure in the area, during a core needle biopsy.

what are the reasons of bRAF mutation?
@FromTheClinicToTheLivingroom3 ай бұрын
A BRAF mutation in melanoma is a spontaneous change in the BRAF gene that causes it to function incorrectly. This can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, which can cause melanoma to grow faster. BRAF mutations can be caused by environmental factors or errors during cell division. Around 50% of melanomas have an acquired BRAF mutation, which means it develops after birth. Acquired changes are usually not passed down to children because they don't occur in sperm or egg cells. People can also inherit a BRAF mutation from their biological parents, but this is very rare and can cause serious health issues.

I just had a atypical mole removed from my shoulder. First they did the punch biopsy and 3 stitches. Then went in to get those stitches removed. Dr read me the results of that pathology report and they did an excision which resulted in 24 stitches total 12 or so under the skin and then 12 on top of my shoulder. I get the stitches out next Monday and it is healing nicely. I will say this. Please know when you go in to get the biopsy and or excision. They numb you up with lidocane and some other stuff. they will use a cauterization tool to stop any bleeding. The smell is not a pleasant one and also what they dont tell you is after the fact your pain meds wear off. You are gonna hurt. Take a tylenol before that wears off. Ice will also help with inflammation as the site will swell naturally and bruising will be present. I hope that is all for me I try to keep covered and or wear sunscreen when I am outside. This mole was probably from before I was so conscious about wearing sunscreen. Doc told me I will have checks in 3 mos then in 6 then a year.

It was a needle in the belly once a week and a handful of tablets daily, it nearly killed me by such anemic blood and depression that I only got through 6 months of the twelve. My Hepatitis was gone for 9 months but came back as though untouched. Three years later I tried the new treatment of just tablets for 12 weeks and to this day I am Hep C free. Thank you to all those doctors and scientist working on these treatments to cure our ails.
