A systematic review on the impact of delayed local therapy in patients with Ewing sarcoma of the pelvis

Local treatment of pelvic Ewing Sarcoma (EWS) is czhallenging due to complex anatomy and potential complications. Local therapy may be deferred to maintain chemotherapy dose-intensity, but the impact of this delay on outcomes remains unclear.

Ion channel modulator DPI-201-106 significantly enhances antitumor activity of DNA damage response inhibitors in glioblastoma

Glioblastoma, a lethal high-grade glioma, has not seen improvements in clinical outcomes in nearly 30 years. Ion channels are increasingly associated with tumorigenesis, and there are hundreds of brain-penetrant drugs that inhibit ion channels, representing an untapped therapeutic resource. The aim of this exploratory drug study was to screen an ion channel drug library against patient-derived glioblastoma cells to identify new treatments for brain cancer.

Childhood and parental diagnostic radiological procedures and risk of childhood brain tumors

We found no evidence of positive associations between risk of childhood brain tumours overall and childhood or parental pre-pregnancy radiological procedures.

MYCN sensitizes neuroblastoma to the MDM2-p53 antagonists Nutlin-3 and MI-63

We hypothesized that reactivation of p53 by inhibition of its negative regulator will result in p53-mediated growth arrest and apoptosis.

Effective targeting of the P53-MDM2 axis in preclinical models of infant MLL-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This study describes the development and molecular characterization of a panel of patient-derived infant leukemia oncogene xenografts and their sensitivity...
