Simple Test Predicts Childhood Cancer Relapse

High-risk neuroblastoma, which occurs mostly in children under five, is treated with surgery and chemotherapy, and neuroblastomas currently rated low risk are just removed or left untreated while doctors 'wait and see', but a fraction of low risk tumors recur and ultimately kill. More...

Genetic Test Predicts Adverse Reaction To Toxic Goiter Treatment

Agranulocytosis is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia or lowered white blood cell count and drug-induced agranulocytosis is a potentially life-threatening adverse reaction, and adverse drugs reactions are a leading cause of admission to hospital. More...
