Letter from Ivanhoe's President
Master Class Comes to Orlando!
Susan Nieves will play Maria Callas Nov 13 to 15 in Orlando and I can’t wait. Our new Dr Phillips Center of the Performing Arts is my favorite place to go and I got to hear Susan sing there last night. In the play she doesn’t sing at all so some smart person got her to put on a concert two weeks before the play and teach a real “master class” afterwards on stage with 4 young singers from Central Florida. She was fabulous and so were they!
Watch our Medical Headline Videos:
- A compelling story of a young girl who died from brain cancer and after her death her family donated the tumor to research. Dr Michelle Monje, MD, PhD, Pediatric Neuro-Oncologist at Stanford University says that donation was “critically important in finding the first new drug that could extend life for these children.”
- Another heart-wrenching story about a young woman who found out her daughter had HHT, a genetic disorder of the blood vessels. Visiting Associate Professor of Human Genetics and Developmental Biologist at the University of Pittsburgh, Beth Roman, is studying zebrafish to pinpoint the cause of HHT.
- Dr Mark Souweidane. MD, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York is leading a small clinical trial to test a new way to deliver cancer-fighting drugs that may soon lead to a cure of DIPG.
Our first special report is “Parenting a Superhero” and Peter Zucca is indeed a hero. Ed Woorner at Nemours DuPont Hospital for Children in Philadelphia introduced us to Peter so we could tell you about him and how he is raising a quarter of a million dollars to buy cinema vision goggles for kids to wear during an MRI. We also have a full length doctor’s interview with Mario Castro, MD, MPH, Pulmonologist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital at the Washington University School of Medicine to talk about a new investigational asthma drug.

Finally, Dr Steven Kalter, MD, Oncologist at START Center in San Antonio tells us about the increase in head and neck cancers. His advice is that “everyone between nine and 26 years old should get the HPV vaccine.”
