Statistically, the incidence of thyroid cancer—especially among women—has increased worldwide over the past few decadesCardio-Oncology Gets to the Heart of Cancer Patients' Health
Cedars-Sinai experts in the Smidt Heart Institute are making heart health a priority for cancer survivors and patients through the Cardio-Oncology Program. The program is more relevant than ever because cancer patients are living longer than ever. The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined has increased substantially since the early 1960s, from 39% to 70% among white patients and from 27% to 64% among African American patients.New Research Explores Link Among Diabetes, Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer
When a patient is diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, physicians are rarely thinking of chronic pancreatitis as the cause. However, chronic pancreatitis may be more prevalent than clinicians realize.Parkinson's Disease May Start Before Birth
People who develop Parkinson’s disease before age 50 may have been born with disordered brain cells that went undetected for decades, according to new Cedars-Sinai research. The research points to a drug that potentially might help correct these disease processes.Study: Low Complication Rate for Brain Stents
A national study led by Cedars-Sinai provides further support that a specialized stenting system for opening blocked brain arteries has a low rate of complications and may be as good or better than traditional medical therapy for certain patients with a stroke history.VR in Healthcare Q&A with Dr. Brennan Spiegel
