Silent cancers: here’s what you need to know when there are no obvious symptoms

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, April 3, 2024

Contrary to common perception, cancer does not always announce its presence through overt symptoms or obvious signs.

Key Points:

Contrary to common perception, cancer does not always announce its presence through overt symptoms or obvious signs.
While even silent cancers can sometimes be aggressive and advance rapidly, they can also remain dormant for years or even decades.
Some prostate, breast and thyroid cancers, for example, often evolve slowly without obvious symptoms or spreading beyond the original area.

The importance of early diagnosis

Whatever the cancer, it’s always important to get an early diagnosis though – and for silent cancers, this is obviously a challenge.
But such symptoms can be misinterpreted or easily dismissed, which contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Fortunately, in many countries including the UK, we have screening tests for diseases like breast or colon cancer, to increase early diagnoses.
Early diagnosis is a key factor for successful cancer treatment.

Biomarker discovery

From molecular profiling to liquid biopsy techniques (blood tests to diagnose cancer), innovative approaches are reshaping the landscape of cancer diagnosis, offering new avenues for personalised and precision medicine.
For example, I worked with a team using blood tests to identify cancers in more than 1,000 women recalled after screening for mammography.
Although there’s increasing awareness and use of this approach in Europe, it isn’t standard in the UK.

Princess of Wales photo controversy shows we’ve been thinking about edited images the wrong way

Experts have warned of a coming “infocalypse”, and of the consequences for this year’s bumper crop of elections.

Key Points:

Experts have warned of a coming “infocalypse”, and of the consequences for this year’s bumper crop of elections.
Yet the biggest story about photographic manipulation so far in 2024 is that the Princess of Wales manually edited a family portrait.
The response to this controversy can help us think about the wider challenge of manipulated images and video.

A royal history of faked photographs

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were early enthusiasts, first sitting for photographs in the 1840s.
During this time, composite images – which combine multiple exposures into one image – were widespread, owing to the limitations of photographic technology.
Some of these composite photographs, such as Henry Peach Robinson’s image Fading Away, were controversial, because of both their subject matter and technique.

Before it became possible to directly print photographs in newspapers in 1880, there was a widespread practice of copying photographs into drawings, embellishing them by adding colour and improving the composition.
When half-tone printing was introduced, journalists continued to tweak their photographs, with one editor of a photography magazine in 1898 boldly stating that “everybody fakes”.

Solving a social problem

Outside of journalistic contexts, we don’t have strong social norms against adding colour to photographs.
The problem here isn’t that photo editing software fundamentally undermines our trust in photographs.
But the fact that we have those standards, and press organisations were able to respond accordingly, shows we have the tools to manage this problem.
But this is a social, not just a technological, problem.

Where’s Kate? Speculation about the ‘missing’ princess is proof the Palace’s media playbook needs a re-write

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, March 13, 2024

Social media have been awash with speculation about Catherine’s health and whereabouts.

Key Points:

Social media have been awash with speculation about Catherine’s health and whereabouts.
As scrutiny reaches a fever pitch, we ask: why is the Palace’s typical media playbook no longer working?

Not so ‘unprecedented’

Anne Boleyn (circa 1501-1536), the second of six wives of Henry VIII, was executed after being found guilty of adultery, incest and treason.
The long-reigning Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was widely regarded as as a loyal wife and mother.
Yet she too became the target of gossip regarding her close friendship with Scottish servant John Brown after her husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861.

The Palace’s strategic communications

The royal family has gradually adjusted to new media and technologies, though not as quickly as the public might like.
On one hand, the Palace continues its age-old tradition of announcing major news on a noticeboard at the gates of Buckingham Palace.

Internet sleuthing and a manipulated image

There were also more serious claims that she was in a coma, or dead, or getting a divorce.
In the midst of this speculation, TMZ published a grainy photo of Catherine in the passenger seat of a car near Windsor Castle.
The public quickly realised the image was at best poorly photoshopped or at worst AI-generated.
The Associated Press, Getty Images, AFP and Reuters subsequently issued “kill notices” on the image, stating concerns it had been digitally manipulated.

Old media PR won’t work in a new media world

The situation with Catherine’s absence from public life exposes the limits of old media strategies in a “new media” world.
The Palace is used to being able to control media coverage through the royal rota, a select group of press outlets in the UK given access to royal events.
Yet the interest in Catherine’s health has prompted a number of statements to the press.
These old media strategies don’t seem to be working, with news outlets that are part of the royal rota reporting critically on the manipulated image.
