Psilocybin Has Long-Term Benefits for Cancer Patients With Depression

2 days ago | cancerhealth.com | Liz Highleyman

A single dose of psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms”—administered along with psychological support continued to relieve depression and anxiety for two years in a small study of cancer patients with major depressive disorder, according to findings described in the journal Cancer, published by the American Cancer Society.
Wandering Myself Back to Who I Am

5 days ago | cancerhealth.com | Adam Hayden

Most days I’m wandering myself back home to who I am. It happens out on that porch over there, with cheap wicker, the frayed outdoor rug, and the Rose of Sharon. I never quite say good bye to myself in the morning, but without fail it’ll dawn on me that I’m somebody else walking around right now. Folding laundry. Maybe warming up the Madras Lentils pouch. Work happened. I ate.
FDA Approves Non-Surgical Treatment for Bladder Cancer

1 week ago | cancerhealth.com | Liz Highleyman

On June 12, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zusduri, an intravesical solution of mitomycin, for people with a specific type of recurrent low-grade bladder cancer. In a Phase III clinical, 78% of treated patients had a complete response. Low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC) affects around 82,000 people in the United States each year, about 59,000 of whom experience recurrence.
What Is an Embodied Encounter in a Health Care Setting?

We broke the news on Facebook like this: Friends, we wanted to provide an update following our MRI last week. The short of it is the radiation held a large tumor mass stable but without any shrinking of tumor. A couple of other mass-like spots in a different location but same hemisphere grew in size. These concern us because they indicate spreading disease. It is too early to know whether the new chemo is having an effect.
Lurbinectedin Plus Tecentriq Shows Promise for Hard-to-Treat Small-Cell Lung Cancer

2 weeks ago | cancerhealth.com | Liz Highleyman

People with advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who received lurbinectedin (Zepzelca) chemotherapy plus atezolizumab (Tecentriq) immunotherapy as a maintenance regimen after initial treatment had delayed disease progression and longer survival, according to study results presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting taking place this week in Chicago.
Immunotherapy Lets Patients Skip Surgery

Treatment with the checkpoint inhibitor Jemperli (dostarlimab), which unleashes T-cell activity, allows many people with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) cancer to forgo surgery and maintain their quality of life, according to a study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting.
A Melanoma Diary

2 weeks ago | cancerhealth.com | Bob Barnett

I’m a registered nurse. I worked for many years in labor and delivery, then in IVF clinics and later for insurance companies. I obtained training as an end-of-life doula, which came in handy when we cared for my dad, a Holocaust survivor who lived to 99. I retired in 2021. I volunteer in hospitals with my therapy dog and co-facilitate groups for children who’ve lost loved ones. My husband and I have been married for 48 years. We have three sons and three grandchildren.

Vaccines for Pancreatic and Kidney Cancer

2 weeks ago | cancerhealth.com | Liz Highleyman

Growing evidence suggests that personalized vaccines may help prevent cancer recurrence. To create a customized cancer vaccine, scientists genetically sequence a patient’s tumor and identify neoantigens—abnormal proteins unique to cancer cells—that are most likely to trigger a robust immune response. Compared with some other malignancies, such as melanoma, however, pancreatic and kidney cancers have few targetable mutations to work with.
Nerve-Sparing Prostate Cancer Surgery

2 weeks ago | cancerhealth.com | Liz Highleyman

Robot-assisted surgery can spare nerves and help avoid sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence in men with prostate cancer. Greg Shaw, MD, of University College London, and colleagues evaluated a robotic surgery technique known as NeuroSAFE that spares nerves that run through the prostate’s outer layers. The method includes testing during surgery to see whether more cancerous tissue needs to be removed. The Phase III study enrolled men of all ages with nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
