For decades, UC San Diego Health and its schools of medicine and pharmacy have been advancing medicine through breakthrough discoveries — including pioneering firsts in surgery, imaging, cancer treatment and cardiovascular care. In fact, we’re the only university-based health care system in San Diego to focus on developing new medicines and therapies — for both common

and rare conditions. This all bodes well for our patients, because with hundreds of ongoing clinical trials, you’ll have immediate access to potentially life-saving medical advancements.

Sleep plays a vital role in your body’s ability to heal—especially during cancer treatment. It helps restore energy, manage stress, and boost your immune system. But we know treatment can make getting good rest a challenge. Learn more: https://southbayro.com/blog/the-power-of-sleep-during-cancer-treatment/

Why sleep matters:
- Aids recovery
- Reduces fatigue & stress
- Supports your immune system

Tips for better sleep:
- Stick to a consistent sleep schedule
- Keep your room cool, dark & quiet
- Limit screen time before bed
- Try calming routines like reading or meditation
- Talk to your care team if pain or nausea is keeping you up

Prioritize rest—it’s part of your treatment too.

Eating well during cancer treatment can help support your strength, energy, and recovery, especially in the summer heat.

Here are a few tips to nourish your body this season:
-Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and berries
- Opt for light, balanced meals with lean proteins and fresh vegetables
- Eat small, frequent meals to ease digestion and maintain energy
- Avoid heavy, fried, or spicy foods if you’re experiencing nausea

Most importantly, listen to your body and discuss with your care team what works best for you.

July is Bone and Sarcoma Cancer Awareness Month

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare but serious cancers that can impact people of all ages. Though they make up a small percentage of cancer diagnoses, their effects are deeply felt by patients, families, and care teams.

This month, we raise awareness, honor those in treatment, and stand with survivors and researchers.

Each year, over 25,000 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor.

While not all brain tumors are cancerous, every tumor can impact vital functions like memory, speech, and motor skills—depending on its location.

🔎 Common symptoms to watch for:
• Persistent or worsening headaches
• Seizures
• Memory loss or confusion
• Changes in speech or vision

About 30% of brain tumors are malignant, but all deserve expert evaluation and care.
