Research Recommends Reduction of Pediatric Brain Irradiation During Cancer Treatment

According to Cancer.org, slightly more than 10,000 children under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with pediatric cancer by the end of the year. While more than 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries such as the United States are treated successfully, data shows that these cancer treatments are often a double-edged sword. A recent study published in the “Journal of the National Cancer Institute” revealed that pediatric cancer patients experience significant premature aging compared to counterparts in the same age group who did not have pediatric cancer. Cancer treatments such as abdominal radiation and chemotherapy were found…

Research Discovers That Survivors of Pediatric Cancer Are Prone to Premature Aging

Every year, an estimated 400 children and adolescents aged 19 and under are diagnosed with cancer. Leukemia, brain tumors, solid tumors such as neuroblastomas and lymphomas tend to be the most common types of pediatric cancer, with more than 80% of patients in high-income nations such as the United States receiving treatment. Even though pediatric cancer treatment can be quite cost intensive, childhood cancer can generally be cured via surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and generic medicines. However, a recent study has revealed that patients who survive pediatric cancer aren’t completely out of the woods even after they are in remission. The…

Researchers Look to AI to Improve Organ Transplant Processes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively novel technology with the potential to revolutionize not just the IT industry but a whole slew of sectors. This technology leverages the ability of computer algorithms to analyze enormous data sets and learn from features or patterns in the data. AI technology is now being deployed in various industries, including the medical field. A few years ago, researchers found that AI systems could diagnose eye diseases as accurately as trained physicians. Earlier this year, further research also revealed that AI and machine learning could be used to diagnose heart diseases by analyzing the network…

Type 2 Diabetes Patients Are Diagnosed Late If They Develop Cancer

Early diagnosis is critical for positive outcomes in cancer. Although there is no effective cure for cancer, early diagnosis allows physicians to deploy treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that can reduce the size of the tumor and increase life expectancy. Research shows that nearly one-half of people who develop cancer are diagnosed late, reducing the chances of successful treatment and limiting their survival chances. A recent study by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Anna Jansana has revealed that people with type 2 diabetes are more likely to receive late diagnoses if they develop a type of cancer that isn’t screened…
