TCF3::HLF-positive B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a rare and highly aggressive childhood cancer that causes severe damage to bones through mechanisms that remain unclear. To tackle this gap, researchers from Japan have developed a new mouse model that closely mirrors the disease as seen in humans. With it, they uncovered an inflammatory feedback loop that accelerates leukemia growth and bone destruction, highlighting a potential therapeutic target to combat disease progression and protect bone health.
The number one research priority chosen by children with experience of cancer – making hospitals a better experience – has recently received no dedicated UK funding, according to a new report from CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association. The report mapped childhood cancer research spending against the priorities that matter most to patients, families and professionals.
Ahead of Vietnam Veterans Day on March 29, new research links Agent Orange exposure to more aggressive bone marrow cancers, identifying genetic mutations tied to earlier diagnosis and faster progression—evidence that could strengthen the case for service-connected care for aging Vietnam veterans.
Researchers in the Netherlands examined blood thinner use and related events in people with cancer during this period using routine general practitioner (GP) records from 2018 to 2022. They analyzed data from 2,860 adults starting when the GP first registered palliative care and reviewed records until death or their last GP visit (median follow up period was about six weeks).
Researchers analyzed data from the U.S. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a national telephone survey, to better understand how social isolation and physical isolation intersect with material deprivation, including financial strain and inadequate health care access. The study examined six preventive services: COVID-19, flu and pneumococcal vaccination, and breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings.
