Risk factors for symptomatic venous thromboembolism during therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

We found two known risk factors in a large cohort of children treated for ALL and identified other factors associated with venous thromboembolism

Molecular-genetic profiling and high-throughput in vitro drug screening in NUT midline carcinoma-An aggressive and fatal disease

Our data emphasize the heterogeneity of NMC and highlights genetic aberrations that could be explored to improve therapeutic strategies.

Regular exercise improves the well-being of parents of children with cancer

Mental health benefits of a pedometer-based exercise intervention for parents of children with cancer were identified.

Immunogenicity and safety of single-dose, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in pediatric and adolescent oncology patients

All children who are receiving therapy for cancer should receive a single dose of PCV13 as soon as possible after diagnosis, regardless of prior PCV exposure.

Heterogeneity in mechanisms of emergent resistance in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Biological changes associated with T-ALL relapse and resistance are stochastic and highly individual

CCI-007, a novel small molecule with cytotoxic activity against infant leukemia with MLL rearrangements

Identified CCI-007 as a novel small molecule that displays rapid toxicity towards a subset of MLL-r, CALM-AF10 and SET-NUP214 leukemia cell lines

Boosting the influenza vaccine schedule in children with cancer: a prospective open-label study

Current immunization guidelines recommend one dose of influenza vaccine for children aged ≥9 years and two doses for younger or vaccine-naïve children. However, children receiving chemotherapy have an attenuated immune response. We performed a prospective open-label study in children undergoing treatment for cancer at Perth Children's Hospital, Western Australia, to examine the safety and efficacy of a boosted influenza schedule.

High Expression of NTRK1 in ETV6::RUNX1 Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Drives Factor Independence and Sensitivity to Larotrectinib

ETV6::RUNX1 is one of the most common recurrent genomic abnormalities in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and is associated with a good prognosis. High expression of NTRK1, encoding tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA), confers a poor prognosis in other malignancies and may contribute to therapy resistance in patients with ETV6::RUNX1 B-ALL.
