There is a long standing perception that treating cancer in children in low and middle income countries is not cost effective and, as a result, there has been less investment in this area than many higher profile counterparts such as HIV and malaria. In an innovative and compelling paper, Nickhill Bhakta, Fellow in Haematology/Oncology at St Jude's Lutheran children's hospital, Tennessee, debunks this myth. Basing his model on two common cancers he elegantly demonstrates that the majority of children can easily be treated well within the cost effective criteria set by the WHO. In this podcast, he tells ADC Global Health editor Nick Brown that rethinking the approach to this group of largely curable diseases is overdue. Read the full paper: http://bit.ly/1dQljHo

Despite advances in prevention, rapid diagnosis and treatment and being a focus disease for the Millenium Development Goals, malaria continues to claim an unacceptable number of lives. The first experiments in malaria vaccinology date back several decades. There was excitement on the release of the Colombian Spf66 vaccine in the 1980s but this was followed by disappointed as the trial results did not translate into the expected effictiveness on the ground. Since then, molecular advances have seen a new wave of candidate vaccines including the RTS. In this podcast, ADC's global health editor Nick Brown discusses with Lorenz von Seidlein, an eminent malariologist at Menzies School of Health Research, Australia, the reasons why an effective vaccine has proved so elusive, the range of new candidates and hopes for the future.
