KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story |
If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Less Invasive Procedures With the Current Standard of Care for the Treatment of Older Adults With Early-Stage Melanoma
Melanoma
Melanoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of wide local excision (WLE) alone to usual care with WLE plus sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for the treatment of older adults with early-stage melanoma. A WLE is a surgical procedure performed to cut out an abnormal lesion and some surrounding normal tissue. This is sometimes followed by a SLN biopsy, in which lymph nodes that tumor cells could spread to are removed as well. Using WLE alone may be just as effective as usual care in treating older adults with early-stage melanoma.
