Accessibility Issues Prevent Individuals in Rural Areas from Undergoing Lifesaving Tumor Treatment

Tumors remain one of the deadliest diseases in the world, accounting for around one in six deaths globally in 2020. While scientists may not have found a cure for life-threatening tumors despite decades of research, there are a variety of treatments that can reduce and even eliminate tumors. However, people who live in rural areas have limited access to cancer treatments that could save their lives, highlighting a startling inequality in access to lifesaving cancer treatments. For starters, some cancer patients have had their tumors completely eradicated after undergoing Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy. However, patients who reside…

A new study suggests that roughly 44% of the deaths caused by cancer can be attributed to risk factors that are preventable. These factors include drinking too much alcohol, smoking and having a high BMI. The researchers were focused on analyzing the relationship between cancer and various risk factors, using data obtained from the Global Burden of Disease project by the Institute for Health Metrics…

Ways to Prevent a Child from Choking

Children are prone to various accidents that can occur anywhere and at any time. Among the most common of these accidents is choking, which occurs when a child’s airway is obstructed. Unlike an adult’s airway, a child’s airway is smaller, which means it can easily be blocked. Figures show that an estimated 40 children are admitted to emergency rooms for choking, with one child losing their life by choking on food every five days in America. Below, we look at various choking hazards you should be aware of and what foods you can avoid as well as how to prevent…

Study Looks into Why Deadly Brain Tumors Continue to Grow After Treatment

Gliomas are rare and fatal brain tumors that form when glial cells in the body grow uncontrollably. Glial cells usually support nerves in the body by helping an individual’s central nervous system function. These deadly tumors typically grow in the brain but may, in some cases, also grow in the spinal cord. New research has discovered that gliomas adapt to their surrounding brain environment in response to cancer treatment, developing interactions with nearby immune cells and neurons that prevent tumor cells from being identified easily by the body’s immune system. The study was conducted by an international team of experts,…
