Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in children and adolescents. Five-year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens.

Invasive fungal disease and antifungal prophylaxis in children with acute leukaemia: a multicentre retrospective Australian cohort study

Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a common and important complication in children with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We describe the epidemiology of IFD in a large multicentre cohort of children with AML.

Challenges posed by COVID-19 to children with cancer

Development of standardised guidance by national and regional authorities for reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to children with cancer

PTPN2 phosphatase deletion in T cells promotes anti-tumour immunity and CAR T-cell efficacy in solid tumours

Our findings define PTPN2 as a target for bolstering T-cell-mediated anti-tumour immunity and CAR T-cell therapy against solid tumours.

A Novel Missense Mutation Affecting the N-terminal Domain of SAP Protein in X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disease

We have revealed a novel SH2D1A gene mutation in a patient with XLP resulting in fulminant refractory EBV-driven HLH, which is a recognized severe complication

Research

Family history of cancer and the risk of childhood brain tumors: a pooled analysis of the ESCALE and ESTELLE studies (SFCE)

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

Outcome of Infants Younger Than 1 Year With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated With the Interfant-06 Protocol: Results From an International Phase III Randomized Study

Early intensification with postinduction myeloid-type chemotherapy courses did not significantly improve outcome for infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Sensitization to immune checkpoint blockade through activation of a STAT1/NK axis in the tumor microenvironment

Our results identify a pretreatment tumor microenvironment that predicts response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can be therapeutically attained
