Cancer Symptoms in Children: Early symptoms of cancer in children, things parents should know.
People of any age and gender can be affected by cancer. Cancer types in children are very different from those in young people and adults in terms of their biological makeup, progression (spread), and potential cure. In most cases, cancers found in children have subtle symptoms in the early stages. Moreover, since the early symptoms of cancer often resemble those of other common diseases in children, it is not uncommon for parents to misunderstand these symptoms or ignore them as not being serious problems. This leads to delayed diagnosis and poses a major challenge in the management of childhood cancers.

Robotic surgery: A new era in safe and precise operations
Today's world is moving towards minimally invasive surgical techniques in every medical field. The concept of minimally invasive surgery is gaining importance, particularly in the field of ENT and Head and Neck surgery, as the face represents a person. The head and neck house various critical neurovascular structures, and any surgery in these areas must be performed with high precision. Minimally invasive surgery is an efficient alternative to conventional surgery. One such innovation is robotic-assisted surgery, which has emerged as a revolutionary tool, improving precision, control, and patient outcomes across several surgical disciplines, including orthopaedics, urology, gynaecology, and neurosurgery. Its application in ENT and Head & Neck surgery is rapidly expanding, offering significant advantages for surgeons and patients.

New transplant method offers hope to liver patients
However, recent advancements in antibody absorption columns and drugs such as Rituximab that target B cells have improved the results of ABOi liver transplants. This gives patients with severe liver disorders, such as cancer or cirrhosis, better access to a larger pool of healthy donors, note experts.
Given that available organs for donation are scarce compared to the number of people requiring them, Bengaluru transplant surgeons are considering ABO-incompatible (ABOi) liver transplants in patients with severe disorders who cannot wait several months for a healthy organ.
