Now scientists have found that a drug called pazopanib has had impressive success in treating a small group of young patients. 85% of their patients survived two years after diagnosis, and two-thirds did not see disease progression. The team is calling for larger studies that can further develop this treatment. “Survival rates were higher than in historical controls, suggesting…
