The team that produces MD News takes great pride in providing our audience of physicians and other healthcare leaders information about encouraging and at times astonishing advances in medical research — and the application of that research to improve patient outcomes. We continue that tradition in our May-June digital edition. The devastation of a cancer diagnosis is compounded for women whose course of treatment causes infertility. The feature in our clinical section on women's health examines findings that cryopreservation of ovarian tissue for transplant following treatment can safely maintain fertility. We also report on a study that found significant risks in halting hormone replacement therapy, and we present a snapshot of eye-opening health statistics about women. In our second clinical section, on neurology, we look at encouraging results from a phase 3 study of the drug ocrelizumab, which is o•ering hope to patients diagnosed with primary-progressive multiple sclerosis. In addition, we discuss a novel approach to dissolving life-threatening blood clots, and we summarize a number of other news events related to neurology. One of our national features evaluates funding disparities between pancreatic cancer research and research into other cancers. The second assesses the benefits of pembrolizumab, which is markedly enhancing treatment of advanced melanoma.
