We are excited to share UH Rainbow physician researcher Dr. Alex Y. Huang is a recipient of Hyundai Hope On Wheels 2020 Hope Scholar Grant. The $300,000 grant will support his lab’s research on osteosarcoma. “We are working to better understand how the body's immune system functions when cancer cells are present,” says Dr. Huang. “Our ultimate goal is to discover a way to trigger the immune system to fight back against cancer on its own.” There are over 15,000 new cases of pediatric cancer diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Pediatric cancer researchers depend largely on private funding for groundbreaking therapies to get off the ground and to advance treatment approaches to the next phase of testing, ultimately, bringing better therapies and cures to kids with cancer. With this latest grant, UH Rainbow has received more than $2.5 million in funding from Hope On Wheels. “Children and young adults fighting cancer are warriors in every sense of the word,” says Dr. Huang, who has been researching pediatric cancer for more than two decades. Dr. Huang lost his cousin and best friend at a young age to osteosarcoma. That experience, and the many patients he has cared for at UH Rainbow’s #AngiesInstitute, continues to inspire his work to find better treatments, improved clinical outcomes and ultimately a cure. UH Rainbow recently welcomed patients to the new Andrew Uhrman Pediatric Cancer Inpatient Unit, completing the Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Institute, one of the first hospitals in the country designed with spaces tailored for teens and young adults. Uniquely connected to the adult cancer facility UH Seidman Cancer Center and a part of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, Angie’s Institute offers a lifetime of care and support services for pediatric cancer patients.

“When our sweet Stella was born, she suffered a brain injury called hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy that impacts processing and coordination. We spent 10 days in the NICU at UH Rainbow, and will never forget the roller coaster of emotions and expectations for our baby girl. The doctors and nurses kept us informed and made us feel like a respected part of the team. Neonatologists Dr. Monika Bhola and Dr. Babu Achanti were simply amazing. We are forever grateful to the UH Rainbow NICU team for the care they provided Stella and our family. As Stella grew up, it was a journey of ‘wait and see’. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Nancy Bass was a critical part of the journey, checking in on Stella’s progress regularly. Though we miss frequent visits with Dr. Bass, we are proud to report Stella graduated from her close care. She continues to defeat the odds, and works immensely hard at the challenges that remain.” – Shelby Rauen, Stella’s mom 📸: From the NICU to conquering a climbing wall, 6-year-old Stella is an inspiration for us all! #MilestonesMonday #ThisIsRainbow

Tony gained confidence (and an extra three inches in height!) after undergoing an intense, 12-hour surgery to correct his forward and sideways spinal curvatures. A triplet and lifelong patient of UH Rainbow, Tony was the only of his siblings diagnosed with congenital kyphosis and scoliosis as a baby. His condition wasn’t painful and didn’t hold him back from anything. But the more he grew, the more noticeable his hump became. Tony first met UH Rainbow’s new Chief of Pediatric Orthopedics Dr. Michael Glotzbecker last fall. “He talked to me and my parents for at least two hours,” said Tony. “He was so down to earth and confident in his ability to help me. I always knew that if I waited until adulthood, the recovery would likely be longer and more difficult. Ultimately my decision came down to a bigger risk with a bigger reward.” After hours of research, and with unwavering support from his parents and brother and sister, Tony made the brave decision to undergo a vertebral column resection or VCR. He would be the first teen in Northeast Ohio to undergo such a procedure. Dr. Glotzbecker partnered with Dr. Christopher Furey, Chief of the Spine Center at UH Cleveland Medical Center, to rebuild Tony’s spine. The surgery involved two foot-long titanium rods, 16 screws and an expandable mesh cage to remove the curvature from the base of Tony’s spinal cord and the hump from his upper back. The goal of the VCR is for pieces of bone to grow within and around the cage, eventually encasing it in new bone and bridging the gap in the spine where it once curved. The surgery was a great success, and Tony was discharged from Rainbow a week later. Just two months after that, he was playing trumpet in the Medina High School marching band!
