"Rising Cancer Rates Among Young Adults in Orange County: What's Behind the Trend?"

A report from City of Hope’s Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center reveals a concerning trend of rising cancer rates among 18-49 year-olds, particularly in colorectal and breast cancers, with Orange County leading Southern California in this statistic. Health experts emphasize the importance of regular screenings and symptom awareness, as the median age of cancer diagnosis is 66 but the risk for younger individuals is increasing. Cancer survivor Juliette Landgrave urges younger women to perform regular self-breast exams, while health professionals recommend screenings for people as young as 40 and earlier for those in at-risk communities.

"Orange County Tops Southern California in Cancer Rates for 18-49 Year-Olds: Study"

A report from City of Hope’s Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center reveals a concerning trend of rising cancer rates among people aged 18-49, particularly in colorectal and breast cancers, with Orange County leading Southern California in youth cancer rates. Health experts emphasize the importance of regular screenings and symptom awareness, recommending cancer screenings for people as young as 40 and earlier for those in at-risk communities. Despite the county's higher cancer diagnosis rate compared to the national average, it's crucial for younger individuals to stay vigilant about their health.

"California Man Cured of HIV and Leukemia 5 Years After Stem Cell Transplant"

Paul Edmonds, a 68-year-old man from California, is "extremely grateful" to be essentially cured of acute myelogenous leukemia and in HIV remission five years after receiving a stem cell transplant. He is one of only five people in the world to achieve full remission of HIV, having had the virus for over 31 years. The stem cells used in his transplant had a rare HIV-resistant gene mutation. Edmonds will be considered cured of HIV after ceasing antiretroviral therapy for five years. This success follows similar cases, including the "Berlin patient" and a New York woman, indicating progress in the treatment of HIV and leukemia through stem cell transplants.

"Key Proteins Uncovered as Crucial Drivers of Cancer Cell Growth in Preclinical Study"

A preclinical study led by scientists at City of Hope has identified two cell-surface proteins, integrin αV and β5, as crucial players in promoting cancer cell growth. By targeting the β-propeller domain of integrin αV with a compound called Cpd_AV2, the researchers were able to disrupt the interaction between the two proteins, leading to the halt of cancer cell growth in laboratory experiments. This discovery opens new possibilities for developing targeted therapies and advancing oncologic treatments, offering a promising approach for future cancer medicine studies.

"Discovery of Cancer-Attacking Immune Cell Unveiled in New Research"

Researchers at City of Hope have discovered that human type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can directly kill various types of cancers, including blood cancers and solid tumors, in mouse models. These cells can be expanded outside the body and potentially used as an allogeneic and 'off-the-shelf' product for cancer treatment. The study's findings suggest a new potential therapeutic approach in cancer treatment and may have implications for other diseases, such as viruses. Further research is needed to understand the full potential of ILC2s, but the team is working towards translating their discovery into tangible clinical benefits.

Panda Express founders donate $100 million to City of Hope for innovative cancer care

Andrew and Peggy Cherng, the founders of Panda Express, have donated $100 million to City of Hope cancer center to establish the Cherng Family Center for Integrative Oncology. This is the largest single donation for cancer care in City of Hope's history. The donation aims to advance City of Hope's goal of integrating evidence-based eastern medicine principles into cancer care, making them leaders in integrative oncology. The Cherngs' philanthropic gesture is inspired by their personal connection to cancer treatment at City of Hope and their shared enthusiasm for applying holistic approaches to cancer care.

Insurance Denials Leave Cancer Patients Stranded and Desperate for Help

Rokhsan Enonoria, a single mother diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, was denied life-prolonging surgery by her insurance company just days before it was scheduled. Enonoria turned to City of Hope for a second opinion, where doctors put her on an intense regimen of 20 chemo and targeted therapies. Her surgeon at City of Hope appealed to Anthem Insurance, but the request was denied. City of Hope has now agreed to cover the cost of the surgery without help from her insurance.

"Cancer Survivors Inspire Hope and Change in Newport Beach and Long Island"

Beth Coombs, a grateful patient of City of Hope, got a tattoo of the word "hope" on her arm after beating Stage 4 colon cancer. The tattoo serves as a reminder of her physical and emotional healing and her gratitude towards City of Hope for saving her life. The "e" in the word "hope" forms the shape of a cancer ribbon, with a heart at the bottom, and the blue ink represents colon cancer awareness.
