Cholangiocarcinoma beyond the Blockade
Breakthroughs, Options and Opportunities opening up beyond the Check point inhibitor - beyond PD-1 and the T Cell
Mandy Wallace – NED Cholangiocarcinoma Patient
NED 7.5 years - I woke up on the morning of my 39th birthday with severe pain in my upper abdomen. By lunchtime I had to canceled my birthday party and went to hospital Emergency Department instead. The hospital concluded that I had gallbladder issues, so an ultrasound was scheduled and was sent home with given painkillers to await an ultrasound.
Cholangiocarcinoma and FGFR2
FGF and FGFR2 is a signalling pathway - Fibroblast growth factor signalling uses a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR2) ligand during cell cycle and cell division. The ligand embeds itself into the cell membrane to recieve and deliver growth factors into the cell.
Gem/Cis gets nab-paclitaxel
So, knowing I had no clinical trials for them motivated me to try to write one and think of one that would be something anyone sitting in my clinical could be considered for because that’s what they need.
Scanxiety a new challenge and a special thank you
A Contradiction - It has been what seems like a very long, difficult and unusual battle / journey and with contradictions aside has passed in the blink of an eye.
