New Drug Combats Childhood Cancer Resistance

New Drug Combats Childhood Cancer Resistance

Scientists in Australia found a new way to help kids with a serious cancer called neuroblastoma.

This cancer is really hard to treat when it comes back, and most kids don't survive.

The researchers discovered that a drug called romidepsin, which is already used for another cancer, can help.

When they combined it with regular chemo, it worked better and made the tumors smaller.

This could mean kids might need less chemo, which would be better for them.

But before this can be used in hospitals, more tests need to be done to make sure it's safe and works well for this cancer.
