Abstract Neuroblastoma is a frequently lethal childhood tumor in which MYC gene deregulation, commonly as MYCN amplification, portends poor outcome. Identifying the requisite biopathways downstream of may provide therapeutic opportunities. We used transcriptome analyses to show that MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas have coordinately deregulated myriad polyamine enzymes (including ODC1, SRM, SMS, AMD1, OAZ2, and SMOX) enhance biosynthesis. High-risk tumors without amplification also overexpress...
Deregulated MYC drives oncogenesis in many tissues yet direct pharmacologic inhibition has proven difficult. coordinately regulates polyamine homeostasis as these essential cations support functions, and drugs that antagonize sufficiency have synthetic-lethal interactions with Neuroblastoma is a lethal tumor which the homologue MYCN, ODC1, rate-limiting enzyme synthesis, are frequently deregulated so we tested optimized depletion regimens for activity against neuroblastoma.We used...
Objective: To evaluate age, TNW, or tumor diameter (TD) as continuous prognostic variables for outcomes in early stage FHWT after accounting biology and treatment. Summary of Background Data: Patient age (< 2 vs. ≥ years) nephrectomy weight (TNW; < 550g 550 grams) have been used to risk stratify children with I favorable histology Wilms (FHWT) on Children’s Oncology Group (COG) studies select patients omission chemotherapy. Methods: Included had II per central review were treated only,...
We describe a case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in an 18-year-old female individual with refractory primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma treated the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. She received 11 doses pembrolizumab without immune-related adverse events (irAEs) before diagnosis P. pneumonia. However, prophylactic trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole was discontinued 6 months postautologous stem cell transplant per standard guidelines. This report highlights importance judicious...
Abstract Introduction The prognostic impact of positive lymph nodes (LN+) and/or singular loss heterozygosity (LOH) 1p or 16q were assessed in children with stage III favorable histology Wilms tumor (FHWT) enrolled on AREN0532 AREN03B2 alone. Patients and Methods A total 635 FHWT vincristine/dactinomycin/doxorubicin (DD4A)–treated patients met inclusion criteria. Event‐free survival (EFS) overall are reported by LN sampling, status, LOH 1p, 16q, a combination status LOH. unknown combined...
