A new thermal treatment technique being developed by researchers at the University of Miami College of Engineering could help destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil, leading to the potential demise of âforever chemicals.â
The global energy system may be faced with an inescapable trade-off between urgently addressing climate change versus avoiding an energy shortfall, according to a new energy scenario tool developed...
Financial toxicity, the financial distress linked to cancer treatment, significantly impacts patient outcomes. To combat this, the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute established a Financial Toxicity Tumor Board in 2019. The board is the first known institutional-level intervention of its kind, functioning like a traditional disease-focused multidisciplinary tumor board, but with a singular focus on financial distress.
A recent study from the University of Georgia found a smartphone application designed to assess heat-related risks frequently reported temperatures that were lower than those recorded through direct on-site measurements.
⢠Phase I trial demonstrates lasting responses and encouraging safety profile in two aggressive thyroid cancer subtypes, suggesting further progress for CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors
⢠One patient experienced a complete response, and one patient had a partial response
⢠This type of cancer has limited treatment options, and most patients have a poor prognosis of six months or less
⢠AIC100 is a CAR T cell therapy that targets the ICAM-1 protein on tumor cells
Black and Hispanic children with high-risk neuroblastoma experience worse survival outcomes than their white peers, even when treated in frontline clinical trials, according to a study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher. Published in JAMA Network Open, the study is believed to be the first to comprehensively evaluate survival by race and ethnicity in a national cohort of children with high-risk neuroblastoma enrolled in clinical trials.
