Are there biomarkers to help identify it? Imaging abnormalities? And how can diagnosing a prodrome benefit patients?

A new study from Yale Cancer Center helps identify what parents prioritize for their children with advanced cancer, including alleviating the child’s symptoms and honoring the family’s goals and wishes. Researchers say the findings may help establish a patient-centered agenda for quality measurement and improvement in children with advanced, incurable cancer. The study titled, "Parent Priorities in End-of-Life Care for Children with Cancer,” was published in JAMA Network Open on May 15.

Dr. Naila Makhani discusses detecting MS early at the 33:54 timestamp.
