A pill designed to zero in on abnormal genes that drive specific cancers has produced encouraging early results in children with an uncommon but aggressive type of lymphoma, as well as in children with a rare form of neuroblastoma.
A phase 1 clinical trial of the drug crizotinib achieved remissions, with minimal side effects, for 10 of the children participating in a clinical study carried out by the multicenter Children’s Oncology Group (COG). The results were “an exciting proof-of-principle” for the targeted treatment, said the study leader, Yaël P. Mossé, M.D., a pediatric oncologist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“We are entering a new era of cancer therapy, in which we use knowledge of basic biology to design very specific drugs that target cancer cells with potentially less side effects on healthy tissue,” said Mossé. “In addition, as we concentrate on targets in molecular pathways, we move away from an exclusive focus on one form of cancer to customizing treatments according to biological activity. Abnormal ALK activity occurs in subtypes of neuroblastoma and subtypes of lymphoma, so identifying ALK activity in individual patients may enable us to provide the most effective care.”

La Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras (NHTSA, por sus siglas en inglés) anunció hoy el lanzamiento de una nueva serie de anuncios de servicio público en español para educar a los padres acerca de la importancia de asegurar a sus niños en los asientos de seguridad apropiados para su edad y tamaño. Los avisos, emitidos en colaboración con el Ad Council, promueven los asientos de seguridad entre padres y personas encargadas del cuidado de niños hispanos que trasportan niños de recién nacidos hasta los 12 años de edad. Esta campaña ayudará a aquellos que están en proceso de asimilación a la cultura, leyes en los Estados Unidos y cuyo primer idioma no es el inglés. Vale recalcar que los choques automovilísticos continúan siendo la causa principal de muerte entre niños de 1 a 13 años de edad.
