Socioeconomic disparities in survival after high-risk neuroblastoma treatment with modern therapy

Daniel J. Zheng, Anran Li, Clement Ma, Karina B. Ribeiro, Lisa Diller, Kira Bona, Jonathan M. Marron

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between socioeconomic status and overall survival in children with high-risk neuroblastoma, finding that survival disparities among different SES groups have not widened over time. Despite improvements in overall survival, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds continue to experience inferior outcomes, highlighting the importance of interventions to address this disparity.

The Case of Billy Best: 25 Years Later

Jonathan M. Marron, Zamina Mithani, Elaine C. Meyer

Summary: Billy Best was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma at age 16 and gained national attention for opting for complementary and alternative medicine over standard chemotherapy. His case, which is frequently referenced in pediatrics and bioethics, highlights the continued need to optimize communication, improve treatment toxicities, integrate adolescent perspectives into treatment decisions, and navigate the roles of CAM and media in pediatric health care amidst the changing landscape of healthcare.

Parents' understanding of genome and exome sequencing for pediatric health conditions: a systematic review

Jessica Gereis, Kate Hetherington, Lauren Ha, Eden G. Robertson, David S. Ziegler, Kristine Barlow-Stewart, Katherine M. Tucker, Jonathan M. Marron, Claire E. Wakefield

Summary: This article summarizes the evidence regarding the actual and perceived understanding of genome and exome sequencing (GS/ES) among parents of children undergoing testing. The study found that parents had varied understanding of different aspects of sequencing, including potential clinical benefits, nature of secondary findings, and data privacy issues. Genetic counseling was shown to improve parents' understanding.

What's in a Name? Parents' and Healthcare Professionals' Preferred Terminology for Pathogenic Variants in Childhood Cancer Predisposition Genes

Jacqueline D. Hunter, Eden G. Robertson, Kate Hetherington, David S. Ziegler, Glenn M. Marshall, Judy Kirk, Jonathan M. Marron, Avram E. Denburg, Kristine Barlow-Stewart, Meera Warby, Katherine M. Tucker, Brittany M. Lee, Tracey A. O'Brien, Claire E. Wakefield

Summary: There is a lack of consensus in current literature/guidelines regarding the appropriate term to communicate a cancer-related disease-causing germline variant in childhood cancer. Preferences vary among parents, genetics professionals, and pediatric oncologists. The term 'faulty gene' is perceived as having negative connotations and potentially blaming parents/children. Health professionals face challenges in selecting a term that is scientifically accurate, easily understood, and not distressing to families. It is important to consider families' preferred terminology while providing accurate explanations of genetic findings.

Marshall, Alexander Broom, Michelle Haber, Vanessa Tyrrell, David Malkin, Loretta Lau, Marion K. Mateos, Tracey A. O'Brien, David S. Ziegler

Summary: Parents and patients rarely regretted participating in a childhood cancer precision medicine trial, even when their hopes were not fulfilled. Most participants found the trial beneficial and expressed high satisfaction.

Parents' and adolescents' perspectives and understanding of information about childhood cancer precision medicine

Jessica M. Gereis, Kate Hetherington, Eden G. Robertson, Rebecca Daly, Mark W. Donoghoe, David S. Ziegler, Glenn M. Marshall, Loretta M. S. Lau, Jonathan M. Marron, Claire E. Wakefield

Summary: This study investigated the understanding of parents and adolescent patients participating in a precision medicine clinical trial for childhood cancer. The majority of parents were satisfied with the information materials but had low actual understanding of precision medicine. The study suggests the need for improving the language and format of the materials and providing targeted information resources to enhance understanding of precision medicine.

Identifying and Addressing Health Disparities among African American Men with Prostate Cancer: a Systematic Literature Review

Emily Quach

Summary: The research focuses on the determinants leading to health disparities among African American Men with Prostate Cancer, highlighting the need for oncologists to take a more central role in preventing premature death and implementing evidence-based interventions. Shared decision-making in screening and diagnosis is crucial in closing health disparities and improving overall health outcomes.
