Levinson Law Group says nearly 1 in 10 childhood cancers involve kidney and liver tumors in children under age 10. Existing treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can be effective but may feature side effects such as endocrine dysfunction, hearing loss, bone deterioration, and others. More research in this area is therefore vital to win the war against childhood cancer.
Enter James Geller, M.D., of the Pediatric Liver and Kidney Tumor Program at Rady Children’s Hospital and Professor of Pediatrics at U.C. San Diego School of Medicine. As the inaugural holder of the endowed Chair in Solid Tumor Translational Research, Dr. Geller can conduct his groundbreaking work advancing treatment for pediatric patients facing daunting solid tumor diagnoses.
Local attorney Gordon Levinson of the Levinson Law Group, San Diego Personal Injury & Car
Accident Lawyers recently authorized a grant of $5,000 to the Chair in Solid Tumor
Translational Research at Rady to support Dr. Geller’s research. The grant is called the Maddie Fell Cancer Research Grant, named after 10-year-old Madelyn Fell, a warrior survivor of liver cancer and an inspiration to all who know her story.
For over 70 years, Rady Children’s Hospital has stood for compassionate care and state-of-the-art treatment of childhood cancer and blood disorders. Despite recent successes, almost 65% of pediatric cancer survivors have some form of severe long-term complication. That is why the Maddie Fell Cancer Research Grant, in support of the Chair in Solid Tumor Translational Research and Dr. Geller’s work, is so critical.
The Levinson Law Group supports the San Diego community through charitable giving, volunteer work, and by fighting back against drunk drivers, texting drivers, reckless drivers, and other negligent actors who cause harm to people. One of the best local personal injury law firms, Levinson Law Group stands with Maddie Fell and is proud to support Dr. Geller in his work fighting this deadly disease and improving outcomes.
