Purpose Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a brainstem malignancy with median survival of < 1 year. The International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries collaborated to compare clinical, radiologic, histomolecular characteristics between short-term survivors (STSs) long-term (LTSs). Materials Methods Data abstracted from registry databases included patients North America, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, United...
Abtract Background This study describes imaging features of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and correlates with overall survival (OS) histone mutation status in the International DIPG Registry (IDIPGR). Methods Four hundred cases submitted to IDIPGR a local diagnosis baseline MRI were evaluated by consensus review 2 neuroradiologists; 43 excluded (inadequate or alternative diagnoses). Agreement between reviewers, association status, univariable multivariable analyses relative OS...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) generally occur in young school-age children, although can adolescents and adults. The purpose of this study was to describe clinical, radiological, pathologic, molecular characteristics patients ≥10 years age with DIPG enrolled the International Registry (IDIPGR).Patients at diagnosis IDIPGR imaging confirmed were included. primary outcome overall survival (OS) categorized as long-term survivors (LTS) (≥24 months) or short-term (STS) (<24...
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) remains a clinico-radiologic diagnosis without routine tissue acquisition. Reliable imaging distinction between DIPG and other tumors with potentially more favorable prognoses treatment considerations is essential.Cases submitted to the International registry (IDIPGR) histopathologic and/or radiologic data were analyzed. Central review was performed on diagnostic brain MRIs (if available) by two neuro-radiologists. Imaging features suggestive of...
Abstract Background Molecular profiling of the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) has enabled rational choice immunotherapies in some adult cancers. In contrast, TIME paediatric cancers is relatively unexplored. We speculated that a more refined appreciation childhood cancers, rather than reliance on commonly used biomarkers such as mutation burden (TMB), neoantigen load and PD-L1 expression, an essential prerequisite for improved solid Methods combined immunohistochemistry (IHC) with RNA...
Abstract Purpose: TRK fusions are detected in less than 2% of central nervous system tumors. There limited data on the clinical course affected patients. Experimental design: We conducted an international retrospective cohort study patients with fusion-driven CNS Results: 119 were identified. The median age at time diagnosis was 4.5 years. majority reported to have a histology consistent high-grade glioma (HGG) (57.1%) followed by low-grade (LGG) (27.7%). Pediatric had better prognosis...
Introduction Ependymomas (EPN) are the third most common malignant brain cancer in children. Treatment strategies for pediatric EPN have remained unchanged over recent decades, with 10-year survival rates stagnating at just 67% children aged 0-14 years. Moreover, a proportion of patients who survive treatment often suffer long-term neurological side effects as result therapy. It is evident that there need safer, more effective treatments patients. There ten distinct subgroups EPN, each their...
Abstract BACKGROUND Primary intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare heterogeneous tumors; germinoma accounts for two-thirds of cases. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by response-based reduced radiotherapy dose and field is the established approach managing localized CNS germinomas, controversy persists regarding treatment primary metastatic disease. Additionally, limited research exists on utilization in germinoma. METHODS A retrospective multi-institutional analysis was...
Abstract BACKGROUND Despite treatment intensification, survival for high-risk subgroups of medulloblastoma (MB) such as MYC-amplified Group 3 (Gr3-II) and p53-mutant SHH (SHH-3p53mut) have remained dismal with overall around 40% 20% respectively. Our previous studies shown that the DNA-damage response inhibitors (DDRis) prexasertib ceralasertib enhance effects CSI using cell line-derived orthotopic mouse models. However, patient-derived xenografts (PDOXs) are considered superior models...
Abstract Germline predisposition has a significant role in paediatric cancer. However, the optimal approach to identifying cancer-causing germline pathogenic variants (GPV) children, and even prevalence of GPV among children with cancer, remain unclear. Here we report our findings from comprehensive survey 496 poor-prognosis By integrating tumour molecular profiling identified 15.5% patients, 48.1% whom had not met clinical genetic testing criteria. Although cancer type was outside...
