“Sodium thiosulfate as cisplatin otoprotectant in children: The challenge of when to use it”, was published in volume 70, issue 5 of Pediatric Blood & Cancer.
“Reevaluation of sodium thiosulfate otoprotection using the consensus International Society of Paediatric Oncology Ototoxicity Scale: A report from the Children’s Oncology Group study ACCL0431”, was published in volume 70, issue 9 of Pediatric Blood & Cancer.
“Special considerations in the design and implementation of pediatric otoprotection trials”, was published in volume 17, issue 1 of the Journal of Cancer Survivorship: Research and Practice.
In the podcast episode, Knight discussed the recent FDA approval of the usage of sodium thiosulfate for reducing hearing loss in pediatric cancer patients.
