Cincinnati: A diet high in vitamin A or its analogues may help prevent children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) from developing painful pancreas inflammation during chemotherapy. Details about this potential dietary solution to prevent a potentially life-threatening adverse event were published in Science Translational Medicine. The research team was led by Sohail Husain, MD, chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Stanford University and Anil Goud Jegga, DVM, MRes, a computational biologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
