BACKGROUND: Obesity is prevalent in childhood cancer survivors and interacts with cancer treatments to potentiate risk for cardiovascular (CV) death. We tested a remote weight-loss intervention that was effective among adults with CV risk factors in a cohort of adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with overweight/obesity. METHODS: In this phase 3 efficacy trial, survivors of ALL enrolled in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study with body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2 were randomized to a remotely-delivered weight-loss intervention versus self-directed weight loss, stratified by history of cranial radiotherapy (CRT)...

BACKGROUND: Quantitative measurement of minimal residual disease (MRD) is the "gold standard" for estimating the response to therapy in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Nevertheless, the speed of the MRD response differs for different cytogenetic subgroups. Here we present results of MRD measurement in children with BCP-ALL, in terms of genetic subgroups with relation to clinically defined risk groups. METHODS: A total of 485 children with non-high-risk BCP-ALL with available cytogenetic data and MRD studied at the end-of-induction (EOI) by multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) were included...

Lymphoid tumors with testicular involvement in childhood are rare and heterogeneous. The disease may manifest with uni- or bilateral scrotal enlargement. Comprehensive examination includes evaluation of all lymph nodes involvement, as well as ultrasound examination, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. A diagnosis is made on basis of morphological and immunohistochemical verification. Determination of lymphoid tumor variant and stage, is recommended to perform chemotherapy according to prognostic risk group, and, in some cases, transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells is required as consolidation therapy...

SAMD9 and SAMD9L are two interferon-regulated genes located adjacent to each other on chromosome 7q21.2. Germline gain-of-function mutations in SAMD9/SAMD9L are the genetic cause of MIRAGE syndrome, ataxia pancytopenia syndrome (ATXPC), myeloid leukemia syndrome with monosomy 7 (MLSM7), refractory cytopenia of childhood (RCC), transient monosomy 7 in children, SAMD9L-associated autoinflammatory disease (SAAD) and a proportion of inherited aplastic anemia and bone marrow failure syndromes.

PURPOSE: It has long been thought that the carcinogenic effect of radiation resulted from the induction of oncogenic mutations which then led to an increase in the proportion of cancer-bearing individuals. However, even as early as the 1960s, there were indications that the carcinogenic effect of radiation might result from the induction of an earlier onset of cancer. Recently, the former notion was challenged by its inability to explain time-dependent decline of the relative risk following an exposure to radiation, and a parallel shift of mouse survival curves toward younger ages following an exposure to radiation...

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a hematologic condition characterized by decreased circulating platelets, resulting in bruising, bleeding gums, and internal bleeding. This disorder can be categorized into two primary forms based on the duration of symptoms and underlying causes. Acute ITP primarily affects young children, typically between the ages of two and six, but it can also impact older children and adults. Viral infections like chickenpox, respiratory infections, or gastroenteritis often precede it...

Casitas B-cell lineage (CBL) syndrome is a rare RASopathy known to predispose to CBL-mutated juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) in childhood. Adulthood acute myeloid leukemia arising out of a genetic aberrancies consistent with prior CBL-mutated JMML has been twice previously described, but chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia has not. We present a case of progressive myeloproliferative neoplasm in adulthood in the context of CBL syndrome alongside a novel CSF3R variant. We also review pathogenic splice-site mutations in CBL-mutated JMML...

Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by bowing of long bones, dysautonomia, temperature dysregulation, swallowing and feeding difficulties, and frequent respiratory infections. Respiratory distress and hyperthermic events are the leading causes of early neonatal death, and most patients are not expected to survive past infancy. Here, we report on the survival of a 5-year-old male with SWS, discussing his case presentation, providing a brief clinical course, and discussing the outcome...

Electronic cigarettes, which deliver an aerosolized, nicotine-containing product upon inhalation, are a public health issue that continue to gain popularity among adolescents and young adults in the United States. Use of electronic cigarettes is wide, and extends to pediatric patients with multiple comorbidities, including childhood cancer, leaving them vulnerable to further negative health outcomes. Acute leukemias are the most common type of cancer in pediatric populations, and treatment outcomes for these patients are improving; consequently, there is an increased emphasis on the effect of behavioral lifestyle factors on quality of life in survivorship...

ADH5/ALDH2 deficiency is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by short stature, microcephaly, delayed mental development, and hematopoietic dysfunction and has recently been proposed as a disease paradigm. Acute and severe presentations include aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or leukemia, requiring bone marrow transplantation during childhood. Conversely, non-hematological manifestations may exhibit a prolonged and nonspecific clinical trajectory, with growth failure and developmental delay, most of which are often overlooked, particularly in patients with milder symptoms...

INTRODUCTION: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent childhood malignancy. Despite high cure rates, several questions remain regarding predisposition, response to treatment, and prognosis of the disease. The role of intermediary metabolism in the individualized mechanistic pathways of the disease is unclear. We have hypothesized that children with any (sub)type of ALL have a distinct metabolomic fingerprint at diagnosis when compared: (i) to a control group; (ii) to children with a different (sub)type of ALL; (iii) to the end of the induction treatment...

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is one of the most common inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. SDS is characterized by hypocellular bone marrow, with a severe impairment of the myeloid lineage, resulting in neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and, more rarely, anemia. Almost 15% of patients with SDS develop myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia as early as childhood or young adulthood. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is another common feature of SDS. Almost all patients with SDS show failure to thrive, which is associated with skeletal abnormalities due to defective ossification...

In this study, we investigated bone mineral deficits in children who survived childhood acute leukemia and explored the association between the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level and bone mineral density (BMD). This retrospective analysis enrolled 214 patients treated for acute leukemia, measuring various factors including height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and lumbar spine BMD after the end of treatment. The study found an overall prevalence of low BMD in 15% of participants. Notably, IGF-1 levels were significantly different between patients with low BMD and those with normal BMD, and correlation analyses revealed associations of the IGF-1 level and BMI with lumbar spine BMD...

BACKGROUND: RASopathies are genetic syndromes affecting development and having variable cancer predisposition. These disorders are clinically related and are caused by germline mutations affecting key players and regulators of the RAS-MAPK signaling pathway generally leading to an upregulated ERK activity. Gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in PTPN11, encoding SHP2, a cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase positively controlling RAS function, underlie approximately 50% of Noonan syndromes (NS), the most common RASopathy...

Autophagy, a highly regulated lysosome-dependent catabolic pathway, has garnered increasing attention because of its role in leukemia resistance. Among the S100 family of small calcium-binding proteins, S100P is differentially expressed in various tumor cell lines, thereby influencing tumor occurrence, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, the relationship between S100P and autophagy in determining chemosensitivity in leukemia cells remains unexplored. Our investigation revealed a negative correlation between S100P expression and the clinical status in childhood leukemia, with its presence observed in HL-60 and Jurkat cell lines...
