Preoperative intraarterial (IA) cisplatin (CDP) was administered to 92 patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma. The ages of the ranged from 4 28 years. Sixty-four (70%) received 2 or 3 preoperative courses and (30%) more. Sixty-two specimens were available for pathologic examination assess degree tumor necrosis. More than 90% destruction observed in 16 42 (38%) who 1 as opposed 17 20 (85%) more courses. Patients had a 2-fold probability achieving necrosis, 68% underwent conservative...

PURPOSE To describe event-free survival (EFS) and toxicities in children with low-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) assigned to receive either continuous 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) weekly methotrexate (MTX) or intermittent 6-MP intermediate-dose MTX, as maintenance treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between October 1, 2000, December 31, 2007, 635 patients ALL were enrolled onto Brazilian Childhood Cooperative Group for Treatment (GBTLI) ALL-99 protocol. Eligible (n = 544) randomly allocated...

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone cancer in childhood. OS an aggressive disease, and metastatic patients evolve with very poor clinical outcomes. Genetically, OSs are extremely complex tumors, related process not well understood terms of biology disease. In this context, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important class gene expression regulators that play key roles invasion metastasis several human tumors. Here, we evaluated HULC, which lncRNA associated tumor...

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) represent the second main cause of cancer-related death in young men. Despite high cure rates, refractory disease results poor prognosis. Epigenetic reprogramming occurs during development seminomas and non-seminomas. Understanding molecular genetic basis these would an important advance search for new TGCT markers. Hence frequency methylation a gene panel (VGF, MGMT, ADAMTS1, CALCA, HOXA9, CDKN2B, CDO1 NANOG) was evaluated 72 primary by quantitative...

Testicular Germ Cell Tumors (TGCTs) are a rare group of neoplasms and the most common solid malignancy arising in young male adults. Despite good response these tumors to platinum-based chemotherapy, some patients refractory treatment present poor clinical outcomes. During carcinogenesis tumor development, cancer cells reprogram energy metabolism towards hyper-glycolytic phenotype, an emerging hallmark cancer. This phenomenon, known as Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis, involves...

Abstract Introduction Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid in childhood, comprising 20% of all neoplasms that age. Besides, they constitute biggest cause morbidity and mortality among childhood tumors, about two thirds surviving patients have sequelae. The build-up sequelae due to neoplastic growth is directly related with time until diagnosis. Therefore, late diagnosis has a negative influence on prognosis. Objective To analyze journey pediatric CNS their families...
