Cancer stem cells as targets for immunotherapy - PubMed
Current cancer therapies target the bulk of the tumour, while a population of highly resistant tumour cells may be able to repopulate the tumour and metastasize to new sites. Cancer cells with such stem cell-like characteristics can be identified based on their phenotypical and/or functional feature …

Orgasm incontinence, 'nervous bladder' and urethral swelling - Bladder Health UK Forums
Hi Sorry, this is going to be a post with many questions! I get worried about my OAB and my mind runs wild. I have overactive bladder (dry) without nocturia. I have suffered a lot of psychosomatic illnesses in my time as I've got a long history of anxiety. I know my problem is somewhat physical as I suffer from orgasm incontinence (i.e. a little trickle of fluid at orgasm - what most people might think of as female ejaculation but I think it's now pretty much proven to be urine). The doctors have said they will be able to cure this but having had it for so long it sounds almost too good to be true! Has anyone else suffered from this and been cured? However, I'm wondering whether some of the sensations may be partly stress. I recently posted about having dark urine, for example, but when I went into the urologists recently my sample was completely colourless (how it was before the bladder problems) so, despite being convinced my urine was too dark, I think I must have focused on the times that it was and forgotten the times it wasn't due to anxiety about it (if you see what I mean!) I don't want to suggest that OAB is psychosomatic but perhaps it is a little in my case. I've read about so-called 'nervous bladder', which is a psychosomatic condition that is relatively similar to OAB and wondered whether part of my problem is this. However, after a bit of research, I haven't found any help on how to treat nervous bladder. I'm on a waiting list for therapy but I've got another 18 months to wait yet (going by previous waiting lists I've been on!) So I just wondered if anyone knew what they can do for nervous bladder or if its just a case of waiting for the therapy? Is it worth me speaking with my urologist about nervous bladder? I really don't want to sound like I'm self-diagnosing (although I am!) because I'm embarrassed about doing that through the anxiety. Last question! (Sorry for length of post!) A lot of my symptoms are around the urethral opening (or between the urethral opening and vaginal opening), which has been swollen for a while. I meant to mention this to the urologist last time I was there but I was embarrassed because they've done gynaecological assessments and have never mentioned swelling there so I thought it might be in my mind. However, right at the vaginal opening is where I get most of my symptoms during sex. Pressure on the front wall of the vagina about 1cm into the vagina (a few cms lower than the "g-spot") produces an urgent need to urinate. Sometimes it feels like I am urinating but nothing comes out. This isn't an orgasm thing, by the way, this is immediately as we have sex, before any pleasure has started! Again, I might be overly focusing on this feeling or imagining it so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but I wondered if anyone could shed any light on swelling in that area and whether its worth mentioning to the doctors. A few months before I was referred to a urologist, the area between my urethral and vaginal openings was bulbous and purple, so perhaps I've just got that in my mind, but this discolouration and most of the swelling had gone by the time I was examined and has remained mild since. Sorry again for the long post, I do get worried about this! Thanks
