Study: Early Mesothelioma HIPEC Surgery Extends Survival
Sooner is better when it comes to aggressively treating peritoneal mesothelioma cancer with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Results of the mesothelioma study were presented earlier this year at the annual Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract ...

Everyone wonders: What&...

For Kids with Long COVID, Good Treatment Is Hard to Find
Ayden Varno was outside doing chores one day in April 2021 when he felt an excruciating pain, like “a hot knife was being stabbed into my back multiple times,” he says.
