Our findings support the hypothesis of a familial susceptibility of childhood brain tumors, not due to being a known neurofibromatosis carrier

Brain tumours are the second most common cancer in children (after leukaemia).
It is now well accepted that germline or de novo genetic alterations predispose to cancer development, especially during childhood. Among them, constitutive trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome (DS), has been shown to predispose to acute leukemia affecting both the myeloid (ML-DS) and lymphoid (DS-ALL) lineages. ML-DS is associated with a good prognosis compared to children without DS, due in part to a higher sensitivity to conventional chemotherapy.
In this. i study the MTD and RP2D, safety, PK, and preliminary activity of single-agent ribociclib were investigated in patients with neuroblastoma.
This study defines PFS and OS, and is the first describe post-progression survival in a large cohort of children with DIPG.
