Suppressing recurrence in Sonic Hedgehog subgroup medulloblastoma using the OLIG2 inhibitor CT-179

OLIG2-expressing tumor stem cells have been shown to drive recurrence in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)-subgroup medulloblastoma (MB) and patients urgently need specific therapies to target this tumor cell population.

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.

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome during chemotherapy for childhood medulloblastoma: Report of a case and review of the literature

We report a patient with high-risk anaplastic medulloblastoma who developed severe HSOS during her second cycle of maintenance chemotherapy.

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.

Bioenergetic modulation overcomes glucocorticoid resistance in T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Drug-resistant forms of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are a leading cause of death from disease in children.

Medulloblastoma Down Under 2013: a report from the third annual meeting of the International Medulloblastoma Working Group

Medulloblastoma is curable in approximately 70 % of patients. Over the past decade, progress in improving survival using conventional therapies has stalled...

Novel oncogenic PDGFRA mutations in pediatric high-grade gliomas

The outcome for children with high-grade gliomas (HGG) remains dismal, with a 2-year survival rate of only 10% to 30%.

Hypomethylation of the CTGF gene locus is a common feature of paediatric pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

We identified consistent hypomethylation of the CTGF locus in primary pre-B ALL specimens regardless of CTGF expression.

The Childhood Leukemia International Consortium

The Childhood Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC) was established in 2007 to promote investigations of rarer exposures, gene-environment interactions...
