The condition, called recessive RNU2-2-related neurodevelopmental disorder, is associated with seizures and severe developmental delay in children less than a year-old, in areas such as speech and walking.

"The bikes we give are brand new, because part of it is the delight of getting a new bike. These kids have been in treatment for so long and can miss out on big stages of development."

The funds raised through Visionaries of the Year are used for research to advance lifesaving therapies like immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine, which are saving lives today.

The study published in the Lancet analyzed data from 381 patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, revealing a 35% reduction in the risk of death among those treated with relacorilant compared to usual care.

Isla first went to the GP in July 2022 with a lump in her breast, but she was told it was likely to be benign and caused by hormonal changes. "She was told it was hormonal - a fibroadenoma - and she would grow out of it," Isla's father Mark said. Two years later, Isla became ill and was taken to hospital, where doctors suspected she had cancer and made an urgent referral for biopsies.

For years, scientists have viewed cancer as a localized glitch in which cells refuse to stop dividing. But a new study suggests that, in certain organs, tumors actively communicate with the brain to trick it into protecting them. Scientists have long known that nerves grow into some tumors and that tumors containing lots of nerves usually lead to a worse prognosis.

New findings on cancer survival rates offer hope for the more than 2 million Americans diagnosed each year. Seven out of 10 Americans diagnosed with cancer now survive five years or more, according to the American Cancer Society, a 7 percent increase since the mid-1990s, when the rate stood at 63 percent. The survival rate data - from patients diagnosed with cancer between 2015 and 2021 - showed, significantly, that those with high-mortality cancers and advanced diagnoses had the largest gains.

A report last year found unnecessary surgeries were carried out, cancers were missed and poor standards of care were delivered at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital. CDDTF said it wanted to support the patients it had let down, including by offering access to psychological support, and to ensure they knew how to make a claim or raise concerns with police.

Three in four cancer patients in England will beat cancer under government plans to raise survival rates, as figures reveal someone is now diagnosed every 75 seconds in the UK. Cancer is the country's biggest killer, causing about one in four deaths, and survival rates lag behind several European countries, including Romania and Poland. Three-quarters of NHS hospital trusts are failing cancer patients, a Guardian analysis found last year, prompting experts to declare a national emergency.

It arose out of safety concerns in 2022 in relation to the treatment of a number of patients with Spina Bifida who had spinal surgery at CHI at Temple Street. These concerns related to poor clinical outcomes of some complex spinal surgery, including a high incidence of post-operative complications and infections, and two particularly serious surgical incidents, which occurred in July and September 2022.

The cancer was fastacting, and if I'd left it even six months, the outcome could have been much worse,

The surgery was long and grueling - almost 12 hours - and my recovery was tough. I couldn't lift my baby for weeks. My husband served as a caregiver for both me and our son, while my mom and sisters rotated shifts to help. I hated feeling like a visitor in my own life, but slowly my strength began to return. It took me about a year to fully recover and start to feel like myself again.
