Although they are relatively rare, brain and spinal cord tumors are the most prevalent cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) between the ages of 15 and 39 years old. A recent report highlights key trends in this population. go.nih.gov/hWgOjAm #AYAcsm #CNStumors

felt very stretched this week w/ tough patient cases, but reminded of our stellar team & colleagues who i can lean on as a sounding board in both our peds/adult programs - what a heartwarming #doctorsday poster from our adult neuro-onc team UCSF Neurosurgery - feeling very blessed.

Proud to share our UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr study on how neighborhood context impacts childhood leukemia survival. We used novel neighborhood archetypes to deepen understanding of persistent disparities to inform place-based solutions DreamLab UCSF UCSF Pediatrics ucsf.edu/news/2025/04/4…

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month. At CANON, we work to amplify the voices of adolescents & young adults (AYAs) with brain tumours, an often overlooked population in brain cancer care. Check out our page to learn more about our research and initiatives. #gogreyinmay

We’re extremely happy to see 9 children living symptom-free 2 years post-GT. It was a long journey but these LAD-I GT trials emphasize the importance of supporting therapies for rare diseases in our community. #raredisease #genetherapy
