Second Cancers Deadlier for Younger People

The researchers analyzed 1992-2008 data on more than 1 million cancer patients of all ages in the United States. They then looked for second cancers, meaning a new cancer, not a recurrence. They found that the five-year survival rate for children and young adults was 80 percent after a first cancer. However, it dropped to 47 percent for children and 60 percent for young adults in cases of second cancers, Keegan and her colleagues said in a university news release.

“Aging is very strange. It’s as if one has had so many different lives already. I think I need a little bit more time to understand, to feel what I really want to do. Over the time that’s left.”

I oftentimes forget how much I don’t know.

Here’s another anatomy website I stumbled upon.  I wanted to post the URL before I forgot because I will forget if I don’t write it down.  I’ll use this resource and will add a link on the sidebar if deemed worthy.
