CHI Patient Perspectives Podcast Series New Episode: New Approaches to Treatment Needed in Pediatric Cancer
CHI-California Healthcare Institute, The Burrill Report and the Children’s Rare Disease Network released the latest episode of the Patient Perspectives Podcast Series: New Approaches to Treatment Needed in Pediatric Cancer. Susan Cornelius, principal and chief operating officer of Scientific Solutions, and business advisor to The Nicholas Conor Institute for Pediatric Cancer Research, speaks about her granddaughter’s fight with cancer. Cornelius was frustrated that new medical technology was unavailable to her and that all doctors could offer were surgery, radiation or chemotherapy—what she characterized as cut, burn, or poison—the child for a disease, which was genetically-based. Cornelius lost her granddaughter to cancer in 2008, but now works to bring about changes to the way research is conducted.To download the podcast, visit
