It’s National Caregivers Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the family members, friends and loved ones who walk this journey alongside our patients.

Caregiving is an act of love, and it’s also one of the hardest things a person can do. Showing up every day through every appointment, every side effect, every hard conversation takes strength.

At Siteman, we offer support resources for caregivers, because taking care of yourself matters, too.

Colorectal cancer is now the No. 1 cause of cancer death in the U.S. for those under age 50.⁠ Siteman Cancer Center is leading the way in treatment and prevention.

The Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Program at Siteman is one of the first in the country to focus exclusively on providing care for colorectal cancer patients under 50 while addressing concerns that are especially important to younger people.

And we have developed a tool, Your Disease Risk, that helps determine your individual risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases and offers personalized tips to help prevent them.

***Newest Breakthrough***

In the most recent collaboration by WashU Medicine researchers at Siteman Cancer Center, a national team of scientists has created the most detailed “atlas” yet of immune cells inside the bone marrow of people with multiple myeloma — and it’s changing how we understand this rare blood cancer that currently has no cure.

The researchers found that certain immune cells can predict survival and relapse at the time of diagnosis. These unparalleled new insights may:

• Improve survival predictions
• Better guide treatment decisions
• Lead to the development of new immune-based therapies

Advances like this bring us closer to longer survival, fewer relapses and more precise care for patients.

A new "atlas" of immune cells in bone marrow cancer lays the foundation for more reliable prognoses.
