How is COVID-19 taking a toll on pediatric cancer patients?

SAN ANTONIO – A lump or a bump that your child has had for years may be the tip of an iceberg that’s been growing since it was last screened by a doctor. That’s the word of warning from a pediatric oncology specialist at UT Health San Antonio. Dr. Chatchawin Assanasen, distinguished chair at the UT Health Long School of Medicine in Pediatric Oncology, said in this fearful Covid-19 world, a lifesaving cancer screening may be long overdue. As a result, new cancers are getting diagnosed at later stages. “Ultimately, we’re seeing a lot of later presentations, meaning that they’re growing to the point where they’re fairly obvious. Unfortunately, when it’s to that degree, it can be more difficult to treat,” said Assanasen.

Cancer & COVID Vax Priority; AML/MDS Halt Sickle Cell Trial; How a Dog s Nose Knows

email article The American Association for Cancer Research as well as other leading organizations and cancer centers 130 in all are urging the Biden administration and public health departments to prioritize cancer patients for access to COVID-19 vaccines due to their risk of severe illness. More and more research on COVID-19 and cancer points to hematologic malignancies presenting the greatest risk. ( The Scientist) Bluebird Bio temporarily halted clinical trials of its investigational gene therapy for sickle cell disease after two participants were diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The phase III OlympiA trial met its primary endpoint, with adjuvant olaparib (Lynparza) improving invasive disease-free survival in early breast cancer patients with high-risk,

Study outlines the reasons to test pediatric cancer patients for inherited genes

Study outlines the reasons to test pediatric cancer patients for inherited genes Because cancers in children are rare, many details about their biology remain unknown. In the field of cancer genetics, there s a limited understanding of how inherited genetic changes may contribute to the formation and growth of tumors. Making connections between particular gene mutations and disease requires a lot of data, which until recently has been largely unavailable for pediatric cancers. Now, tests like MSK-IMPACT TM can screen tumors for mutations in more than 500 genes as well as analyze patients normal (germline) cells. In the largest study of its kind so far, researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering s pediatric program, MSK Kids, are reporting germline genomic sequencing details for 751 pediatric patients treated for solid tumors.

The heavy toll of COVID-19 on cancer patients

The heavy toll of COVID-19 on cancer patients We all know that finding and treating cancer early saves lives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, oncology treatments paused while cancer continued to spread. So, what has been the impact of this lost time for patients? One of the biggest losers in the fight against COVID-19 has been the fight against cancer. The virus has thrown healthcare systems around the world into disarray. In the United Kingdom, hospitals have been redesigned to maximize social distancing and to treat COVID-19 victims. Non-urgent care has been paused, as doctors and nurses have been redeployed in the effort against the pandemic. National screening programs for cancer effectively ceased to exist for three months.
