Liquid Biopsies for Children with Solid Cancers
		Results from a new study show liquid biopsies may soon help diagnose solid tumors in children and monitor for responses to treatment and recurrence. Liquid biopsies are of interest for use in children because they are less invasive and easier to repeat than tissue biopsies.
Transforming Cancer Clinical Trials for Better, Faster Results
		NCI Director Dr. Monica Bertagnolli and Deputy Director for Clinical and Translational Research Dr. James Doroshow explain the challenges of cancer clinical trials and the important steps NCI is taking to improve them.
Financial Navigation Helps Financial Toxicity The high cost of cancer care can add to the stress of dealing with cancer. A recent study showed how one financial navigation program helped people with cancer and their families save money and improve their quality of life.
