SnackableHealth® |Non-cardiac effects in HELIOS-B trial: gastrointestinal symptoms and quality-of-life signals discussed by Drs. Mike Gibson and Tony Urey
In today’s SnackableHealth® episode, Dr. Mike Gibson speaks with Dr. Tony Urey about the idea that amyloidosis can be a multisystem disease—while clinical attention has often centered on cardiac manifestations, particularly in “wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis,” which has historically been framed primarily as a cardiac condition. Dr. Urey explains that, in reviewing the HELIOS B data, the goal was to better characterize under-recognized symptoms that may affect patients’ quality of life. H

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) Provides Significant Clinical Benefit Over Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), Marking a Potential Shift in the Therapeutic Standard for HER2+ Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. HER2 is a tyrosine kinase receptor protein with a growth-promoting function, present on the surface of several tumor types, including breast cancer. HER2 protein overexpression, often due to gene amplification, is associated with more aggressive disease and poorer prognosis. Approximately one in five cases of breast cancer is classified as HER2-posit
