Side-Out Foundation In volleyball, “side-out” means regaining control of the ball. Similarly, The Side-Out Foundation helps people with breast cancer regain control of their lives. After my mother Gloria was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, we started the Side-Out Foundation in 2006 to challenge today’s cancer care. We believed if we could extend the lives of those living with the most advanced stage of breast cancer, we could really make a difference for everyone living with breast cancer. We decided to focus on more than just awareness and fundraising; we decided to go ten steps further. My father Bryant hired scientists and formed research teams so we could own, manage, and operate science that actively searches for answers and treatment options for those living with metastatic breast cancer. We don’t just fund research, we do research. Gloria wanted us to impact breast cancer in the most hands-on way possible. She wanted us to stay focused on action. Thanks to Side-Out Foundation supporters and researchers, we’re staying true to that mission.

10 Things to Know About Neuroendocrine Tumors (MD Anderson) While the name “neuroendocrine” implies that these tumors involve both nerve cells and hormones, they are mainly thought to come from endocrine cells. The “neuro-” is more of a quirk of history. Neuroendocrine tumors are cancers that can develop anywhere endocrine cells are present. Endocrine cells help regulate various body functions, such as growth, reproduction and metabolism. They are distributed throughout the body, but the most common places for tumors to develop from them are in the lungs, small intestines, and pancreas.

When we rally around a cause, change happens. Join us in our pledge to #SpotHerforEC and raise our voices around this serious cancer—for our friends, our family, and ourselves.

10 Things to Know About Neuroendocrine Tumors (MD Anderson) While the name “neuroendocrine” implies that these tumors involve both nerve cells and hormones, they are mainly thought to come from endocrine cells. The “neuro-” is more of a quirk of history. Neuroendocrine tumors are cancers that can develop anywhere endocrine cells are present. Endocrine cells help regulate various body functions, such as growth, reproduction and metabolism. They are distributed throughout the body, but the most common places for tumors to develop from them are in the lungs, small intestines, and pancreas.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (Islet Cell Tumors) Treatment (PDQ®)–Patient Version (NCI) Key Points: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors form in hormone-making cells (islet cells) of the pancreas. Pancreatic NETs may or may not cause signs or symptoms. There are different kinds of functional pancreatic NETs. Having certain syndromes can increase the risk of pancreatic NETs. Different types of pancreatic NETs have different signs and symptoms. Lab tests and imaging tests are used to diagnose pancreatic NETs. Other kinds of lab tests are used to check for the specific type of pancreatic NETs. Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Advancements in medical treatment for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: A beacon of hope. (Giri, Somdatta, and Jayaprakash Sahoo. World journal of gastroenterology vol. 30,12 (2024): 1670-1675. doi:10.3748/wjg.v30.i12.1670) This editorial highlights the remarkable advancements in medical treatment strategies for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pan-NETs), emphasizing tailored approaches for specific subtypes. Cytoreductive surgery and somatostatin analogs (SSAs) play pivotal roles in managing tumors, while palliative options such as molecular targeted therapy, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, and chemotherapy are reserved for SSA-refractory patients. Gastrinomas, insulinomas, glucagonomas, carcinoid tumors and VIPomas necessitate distinct therapeutic strategies. Understanding the genetic basis of pan-NETs and exploring immunotherapies could lead to promising avenues for future research.

Originally based in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, we have since grown to include organizations and individuals from throughout the United States and Canada. We continue to welcome new members. Organizations across the country are working every day to tackle melanoma, the most deadly of all skin cancers. Many of these organizations are grass-roots foundations established and led by those who have been touched personally by this disease. The Melanoma Action Coalition accelerates the end of melanoma by bringing together these organizations, who are at the forefront of this fight, and providing the support they need to amplify their effectiveness and impact. MAC also welcomes individual melanoma advocates and fundraisers.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) (Cleveland Clinic) Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare but aggressive type of skin cancer that can be life-threatening. The cancer affects your skin’s outer layer, or epidermis. It often spreads to lymph nodes and organs. UV light exposure, a weak immune system, age and viral infection may cause this cancer. Healthcare providers surgically remove the tumor, but the cancer often comes back.

Jimmy Buffet's Death Puts Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) in the Spotlight (Skin Cancer Foundation) Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of skin cancer that affects the top layer of skin, known as the epidermis. MCC is about three to five times more likely to be deadly than melanoma, and is 40 times rarer than melanoma, with about 3,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. every year.  The disease has a high risk of metastasizing (spreading) within two to three years after initial diagnosis. Once MCC has spread, treatment becomes increasingly difficult. Fortunately, MCC survival rates are improving due to advances in the field of immunotherapy.

Mohs Surgery (Skin Cancer Foundation) Mohs surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer. Sometimes called Mohs micrographic surgery, the procedure is done in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.

https://www.skincancer.org/treatment-resources/mohs-surgery/

GentleCure Image-Guided SRT is a surgery-free treatment for basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Image-Guided SRT (Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy) is a type of radiation used just for skin cancer. It kills skin cancer cells using low levels of X-ray energy. This energy is like what dentists use to X-ray teeth. It is given by a Radiation Therapist in a dermatologist’s office.
