FACULTY:

Allison Grimes, MD is an associate professor with Pediatrics-Hematology-Oncology at UT Health San Antonio.

OVERVIEW:

In this podcast episode, Host Holly Wayment from UT Health San Antonio's Department of Pediatrics delves into the critical disparity in healthcare for Hispanic children, particularly in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Recorded at the enlightening conference 'Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos' in San Antonio, Texas, this insightful discussion presents hard-hitting research and findings in this crucial area.

This episode sheds light on the troubling survival differences among children and young adults diagnosed with cancer, revealing how the five-year survival rate among Hispanic patients lags compared to their non-Hispanic peers. It emphasizes the high prevalence of cancers like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and testicular cancer in Hispanic communities, exploring interconnected factors such as ethnicity, geographic origin, and genetic predispositions in tackling this complex issue.

The episode brings us a conference talk by Dr. Allison Grimes, where she delves into the harsh realities of treatment-related toxicities in pediatric cancer, uncovering their root causes, immediate impacts and lasting effects. Highlighting the urgent need for systematic and accurate capture of both short-term and late-term therapy toxicities, the discussion also scrutinizes the preferences for devising treatment plans for improved survival rates.

Focusing on the toxicity effects among pediatric patients, Wayment breaks down the data demonstrating how organ toxicity varies based on age, primary cancer types, and ethnicity. She brings attention to the higher rates of advanced-grade toxicities in Hispanic children and delves into determinants such as pubertal status, socioeconomic status, and specific conditions like Ewing sarcoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

The episode also outlines various strategies to reduce toxicity, advocating for a more individualized approach to survivorship care services. Emphasizing the need for supportive care interventions that target treatment toxicities, it unveils a path forward for treating Hispanic children with cancer. The episode winds up with a Q&A segment highlighting the importance of involving survivors in designing survivorship care services, to give a more personalized approach to care.

FACULTY:

Dr. Nancy Kellogg, is the Division Chief for Child Abuse Pediatrics at the University of Texas Health Science Center. 

OVERVIEW:

In this enlightening episode of "Pediatrics Now," host Holly Wayment welcomes Dr. Nancy Kellogg, a respected authority in detecting and reporting child abuse. Dr. Kellogg shares invaluable insights on recognizing abuse signs, the role of Child Protective Services, and the struggles children face when disclosing abuse.

Dr. Kellogg talks about sentinel injuries and their relation to young infants who are at the highest risk of life-threatening abuse. This discussion dives into the importance of thorough medical examinations, empathy, and the power of collaboration with CPS. We conclude the episode by highlighting that despite declines in child sexual abuse cases, it remains a silent form of abuse that largely relies on children's disclosures for detection.

This thought-provoking episode shifts the conversation towards understanding trauma-informed care, high-risk situations like sleepovers and summer camps, and addressing parents' denial. Dr. Kellogg also provides an inside look into her work at the Center for Miracles, which supports CPS and aids in the fight against child abuse. This episode is a deep dive into the complexities of child sexual abuse and the effective ways to address and prevent it.

In an inspiring segment, we share the story of a brave sexual abuse survivor who fought not only for her justice but also sparked a global change in addressing and recognizing sexual violence. This tale of resilience is a beacon of hope for other victims facing similar situations and an illustration of how adversity can be a catalyst for societal change.

We wrap up this episode with a focus on children's right to autonomy during checkups, the crucial role of a pediatrician in identifying and responding to sexual abuse, and the rising rates of online-enabled abuse threats. We offer advice on preventive measures, emphasizing the importance of a strong parent-child relationship as a protective tool. Tune in to this enriching episode as we navigate the complexities of child sexual abuse, promote understanding, and advocate for preventive measures.
