Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1-related neoplasm first identified as distinctive tumor type through evaluation unusual cases putative anaplastic Wilms tumors. Subsequent case reports presence biallelic DICER1 variants well progression from cystic nephroma, benign neoplasm. Despite increasing recognition ASK distinct entity, optimal treatment remains unclear.
DICER1-related tumor predisposition increases risk for a spectrum of benign and malignant tumors. In 2018, the International Pleuropulmonary Blastoma (PPB)/DICER1 Registry published guidelines testing- imaging-based surveillance individuals with known or suspected germline DICER1 pathogenic likely (P/LP) variant. One goals is to continue refine these as additional data become available.
The risk of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to pediatric oncology patients is unknown. Here, we report eight receiving active cancer therapy that tested positive for COVID-19. Three developed severe cardiorespiratory symptoms (as defined by evidence heart failure echocardiogram and/or intubation secondary respiratory failure), including one death as a result COVID-19 infection. We identified prior anthracycline exposure and pre-COVID cardiac function significantly associated...
