posted February 16th, 2011
This story features Sridharan Gururangan, M.B., a neuro-oncologist, and his patient Aleah Sawyer, who had a grade four glioblastoma brain tumor and was successfully treated at Duke Hospital.
These types of tumors are rare in infants, but when they occur, there is hope if treated early.
“The outcomes in those children is much better than it is for adults,” Gururangan said.
MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM is holding a Radiothon to raise money for Duke Children's Hospital. It runs through Thursday, February 17, 2011.
