Beta Blockers May Help Melanoma Patients Live Longer

Description

According to researchers at Penn State, a blood pressure medication may help patients with melanoma. In a recently published study, researchers found that skin cancer patients who took a specific type of beta blocker lived longer than those who did not. However, those patients were also receiving immunotherapy. Dr. Todd Schell with the Penn State College of Medicine added that pan beta blockers were the most effective. Beta blockers are drugs designed to regulate blood pressure for people at risk of heart attack, or those with low blood pressure.

  • The seven assistants we can no longer live without

    Our car is full of cameras, sensors and radars. We can’t see them, but they’re always active while we are driving. Although these driver assists do not prevent us from having to pay close attention to the road, they add considerable safety and comfort on our daily commutes. The use of these measures, among others, will save 7,300 lives and prevent 38,900 serious injuries over the period 2020-2030, according to the European Commission. The person responsible for these systems at SEAT, Marc Seguer, describes seven of the most useful assistants when we get behind the wheel.
