Cancer is one of the deadliest disease that afflicts children and adolescents, taking an estimated 1,800 lives in the United States each year. Although scientists still haven’t developed a cure for cancer, there are a variety of treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, that can attack fast-growing cancer cells and prevent them from growing. However, most pediatric cancer treatments come with a variety of side effects, with treatments such as chemotherapy inadvertently causing unwanted side effects, including fatigue, mucositis, endocrine dysfunction, neurocognitive impairment, neurotoxicity, nausea…

Senate Review Reveals Screening Mistakes Caused Organ Transplant Failures, Illnesses, Deaths

There have been more than 25,000 organ transplants per year in the United States since the mid-2000s. On average, around 95 organ transplants are carried out in the country per day, with someone being added to the national organ transplant waiting list every nine minutes. Kidney transplants tend to have the highest post-transplant survival rate followed by liver, heart and lung transplants.

Researchers Want to Manage Cancer By Keeping Malignant Cells Restricted in Place

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases on the planet. It affects millions of people across the world, takes more than 10 million lives every year, and still doesn’t have a cure. Most cancer-management therapies involve treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy and immunotherapy that are meant to remove the cancer cells as much as possible. However, these treatments aren’t always effective, and many patients have gotten cancer again years after the initial cancer was treated. Always on the lookout for novel therapies that can manage and potentially cure cancer, researchers are now exploring how they can manage and…

Brain Fingerprinting Adolescents Could Predict Future Mental-Health Issues

New research has demonstrated how the uniqueness of the brain of an adolescent may forecast mental-health outcomes. For this study, researchers focused on the adolescent brain, as changes during this period are dynamic and rapid and help form every individual’s uniqueness. Additionally, most mental-health conditions show up during this period, with more than one-half occurring by the time a child is 14 and about three-quarters of mental-health conditions occurring by the time an individual is 25 years of age. The researchers hypothesize that observing and tracking changes in the brain as they occur may make it easier to tackle emerging…

Research Shows Access to Health Insurance Invaluable in Early Cancer Diagnosis

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States, affecting nearly two million people yearly and taking more than one-half a million lives every year.

Research by the UK government’s director of cancer services shows that up to 10,000 people die every year due to late-stage cancer diagnoses According to a study published in the “Cancer” journal, pediatric patients from racial and ethnic…
