Addressing Patient Requests to Add Dietary Supplements to Their Cancer Care—A Suggested Approach

mycolabadmin

Cancer patients often want to use dietary supplements alongside their conventional cancer treatments to manage side effects, boost immunity, and feel more in control of their health. Many patients don’t tell their doctors about supplement use because they worry about judgment or think doctors won’t understand their interests. This paper suggests doctors should have open, non-judgmental conversations with patients about supplements, evaluate their safety and effectiveness using reliable information sources, and work together with patients to make informed decisions that keep them safe while respecting their choices.

Mitigation of radiation-induced esophageal fibrosis by macrophage-targeted phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes with partial PEGylation

mycolabadmin

Radiation therapy used to treat esophageal cancer often causes scarring and tissue damage that makes swallowing difficult. Researchers developed special fatty particles called PEGylated phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes that can reduce this scarring by calming down immune cells called macrophages. In studies using animal models and laboratory tests, these particles successfully reduced fibrosis, preserved normal tissue structure, and promoted muscle healing, offering hope for better management of radiation therapy side effects.
