This article is from Portland, Oregon actually the Oregon Health and Science University Doernbecher Childrens Hospital, they have defined a cell or origin for a kind of cancer called sarcoma. It goes on to say that childhood muscular cancer is a condition in which spreads throughout the body which has a low survival rate in just 20 to 40%. Researchers are now able to show where the tumors arise and what makes them grow and spread in the body.
They cancer should be cut out, burned out, or killed. Another way to help patients is by giving them drugs that can convert the muscle cancer into a non cancerous muscle fiber. The survival rate for children that have this cancer have been unchanged for the last 40 years. Increasing the intensity of chemotherapy, raditaion, and surgery is having no effect on people with this cancer .
Doernbecher travles through out Oregon and southwest Washington to provide specialty care to some 3,000 than 154 outreach clinics in 13 locations. Overall I thought this article was good, it is always good when people, no matter if they are payed or not are willing to help little boys and girls feel better, and become healthier, because no one wants to see children suffer.
