Childhood Cancer—Second Opinion
Few things are as sad or shocking as hearing of a child diagnosed with cancer. While the children fight for their lives, doctors and researchers fight for money to find new, desperately needed treatments. We also explore whether these new cancer treatments are safe for children, and outline five things to do when a child is diagnosed with cancer.
Balancing Cure and Late Effects: Treatment Considerations for Children with Cancer
When making treatment decisions for children with cancer, many parents and physicians prioritize avoidance of certain late effects over increased chance of cure
Cancer in Kids
No one ever thinks it can happen to them: your child has been diagnosed with cancer! It's always a terrifying diagnosis - and even more so when it's a child.
