Neoadjuvant therapy aims to reduce the size or extent of the cancer before using radical treatment intervention, thus making procedures easier and more likely to succeed, and reducing the consequences of a more extensive treatment technique that would be required if the tumor wasn't reduced in size or extent.
LOS ANGELES - Actress-writer Carrie Hamilton, the 38-year-old daughter of comedian Carol Burnett, died on Sunday due to complications from cancer. Burnett publicist Deborah Kelman said Hamilton died at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Burnett was born in San Antonio, Texas, on April 26, 1933, the daughter of Ina Louise (nÃ©e Creighton), a publicity writer for movie studios, and Joseph Thomas Burnett, a movie theater manager. Both of her parents suffered from alcoholism, and at a young age, she was left with her grandmother, Mabel Eudora White.
