The challenges of clinical trials for adolescents and young adults with cancer.
In the United States, Europe, and Australia, and probably all countries of the world, older adolescents and young adults with cancer are under-represented in clinical trials of therapies that could improve their outcome. Simultaneously, the survival and mortality rates in these […]
Do as I say or die: Compliance in adolescents with cancer.
Adolescence is a time of great physical change and maturing brain function. This leads to adolescents establishing independence and coming to terms with the implications of their own actions. Not surprisingly, this phase is characterized by experimentation with both constructive and destructive […]
Access to care.
Rapid diagnosis, timely initiation of optimal treatment and good supportive care should be the gold standard for all patients who develop cancer, irrespective of age and where they live. This article reviews the evidence that teenagers/adolescents and young adults may be disadvantaged with regard to access to care. Delays in […]

Economic evaluation and health-related quality of life.
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is concerned with the opportunities that a person\’s health status affords, the constraints that it places upon the person and the value that a person places on his or her health status. The rationale for measuring HRQL falls into three categories: […]
Education and health promotion in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
The increasing numbers of long-term adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and their well-established risk of cancer-related morbidity strongly support the need for effective health promotion programs that motivate and sustain positive lifestyle changes. To date, the priority of these initiatives has […]
Registration and classification of adolescent and young adult cancer cases.
Cancer registries are an important research resource that facilitate the study of etiology, tumor biology, patterns of delayed diagnosis and health planning needs. When outcome data are included, registries can track secular changes in survival related to improvements in early detection or treatment. […]

METHODS: Using data from the population-based national cohort study (REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke) conducted January 25, 2003-February 28, 2007 (N = 23,664), we assessed care-seeking behavior among 3,668 participants who reported a physician […]
A nasal proteosome adjuvant activates microglia and prevents amyloid deposition.
OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether peripheral activation of microglia by a nasal proteosome-based adjuvant (Protollin) that has been given safely to humans can prevent amyloid deposition in young mice and affect amyloid deposition and memory function in old mice with a large amyloid load. […]
