New Vlog Series: Dr. Lawlor's Pediatric Cancer Research
Stand Up To Cancer is happy to announce a new Vlog series that started this week featuring Dr. Elizabeth Lawlor, one of our 13 Innovative Research Grant recipients. Dr. Lawlor's work is dedicated to developing new approaches in the fight against Ewing's sarcoma tumors, a disease that primarily affects children and young adults. "My goal as a scientist and as an advocate for children is to develop new approaches to therapy that are going to selectively kill the cancer cell but not kill their normal stem cells," says Dr. Lawlor. "That's what's up to me and that's what's up to my whole team."
You can learn more about Dr. Lawlor's work by reading her Innovative Researcher Profile, and tune in weekly to track her team's progress.

When you preform chemotherapy on young kids and i know it kills stem cells as well as cancer cells dose it affect the growth and development of a child after they have gone into remission?
