The evolution of clinical trials for infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Despite initial improvements in survival of infants with ALL since establishment of the first pediatric cooperative group ALL trials, the poor outcome has...

Childhood craniopharyngioma: 20-year institutional experience in Western Australia

Although neurocognitive, psychological and behavioural problems were noted for some patients during medical review, only 20% of patients were formally assessed.

Drug-gene modeling in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia highlights importance of 6-mercaptopurine for outcome

This study advances our understanding of drug resistance in T-ALL and provides new markers for patient stratification.

Novel BRD4-NUT fusion isoforms increase the pathogenic complexity in NUT midline carcinoma

This study contributes to our understanding of the genetic diversity of NMC, an important step towards finding therapeutic targets for a disease that is...

Fusionfinder: A software tool to identify expressed gene fusion candidates from RNA-seq data

The hallmarks of many haematological malignancies and solid tumours are chromosomal translocations, which may lead to gene fusions.

Novel non-TCR chromosome translocations t(3;11)(q25;p13) and t(X;11)(q25;p13) activating LMO2

In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cytogenetic alterations juxtapose the LIM-domain-only-2 gene (LMO2) with T-cell receptor loci.

Returning raw genomic data to research participants in a pediatric cancer precision medicine trial

In pediatric cancer precision medicine clinical trials settings, parents proactively seeking treatment and answers to causation may request return of their child's raw data and/or biospecimen. To satisfy such requests, the ZERO Childhood Cancer Program required a guidance document.

KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) represents a high risk subtype of childhood ALL. Historical treatment strategies have comprised of intensification with conventional chemotherapy. However, outcomes have remained consistently poor compared to the advances that have been seen for other ALL subtypes, particularly for infants diagnosed before their first birthday

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

Invasive fungal disease 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.
