Pediatric Proton Featured in Electronic Sarcoma Newsletter in August!

The Pediatric Proton Foundation is featured in this month's Electronic Sarcoma Update Newsletter (ESUN).  Since my son is a Ewing's Sarcoma survivor, the work of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Foundation has been of extreme interest to me since Day 1 of diagnosis.  Click here to read the article:  http://sarcomahelp.org/newsletter/community.html

ESUN is an online, open access, peer-reviewed, bi-monthly newsletter. In addition to feature articles that focus on specific sarcomas and current research and clinical issues dealing with these cancers, it has regular columns that abstract newly announced clinical trials and recent research findings). It also contains a column telling stories of courage and hope, a column that deals with a potpourri of topics of general interest, and updates on sarcoma advocacy and related groups. Our readership consists of physicians (oncologists and non-oncologists), nurses, patients, caregivers and survivors. ESUN contents are accessed over 30,000 times each month, giving wide visibility to the published articles. Additionally, a number of articles in ESUN have been translated by sarcoma physicians and researchers and appear in Chinese, French, Italian, Polish and Spanish to benefit the sarcoma communities within the respective countries.


Thank you Bruce Shriver for your dedicated and excellent work in the Sarcoma community.  Thank you for this opportunity to discuss the Pediatric Proton Foundation!
