Every year, millions of infants and children undergo surgery under general anesthesia around the world. Sevoflurane is a widely used pediatric anesthetic. Its exposure during brain development has been shown to inhibit neurogenesis and induce cognitive dysfunction in animal models. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has launched a randomized phase III clinical trial called RECIPROCAL (Alliance A032304) to investigate whether doctors can optimize the timing of targeted radiation therapy to minimize side effects while maintaining efficacy in men with advanced prostate cancer. Our goal in this trial is to strategically improve both survival and quality of life for men living with advanced prostate cancer. We hope to demonstrate that we can safely tailor treatment based on an individual’s cancer rather than sticking to a rigid schedule, thereby maintaining the effectiveness of targeted radiation therapy while reducing side…
