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.
Functional role of CTGF in altering disease progression in a lymphoid malignancy
Biological changes associated with T-ALL relapse and resistance are stochastic and highly individual
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
We report a term male with congenital acute erythroleukemia who achieved sustained remission with low-dose cytosine arabinoside alone
Present a valuable resource for drug discovery and have identified ROM as a promising therapeutic for MLL-rearranged iALL
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common childhood malignancy that remains a leading cause of death in childhood. It may be characterised by multiple known recurrent genetic aberrations that inform prognosis, the most common being hyperdiploidy.
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.
Parents of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) experience emotional distress throughout their child's treatment course. This study describes the psychological experience of Australian and New Zealand parents of children diagnosed with ALL.
The RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3 is an oncofetal protein overexpressed in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is critical for leukemogenesis in experimental models. With cancerspecific expression, functional dispensability for normal development, and an unleveraged prooncogenic function in mRNA homeostasis, IGF2BP3 represents an excellent target.
