[Vaccination of children and adolescents treated for acute leukemia, excluding HSCT recipients: Recommendations of the French Society for Childhood and Adolescent Cancer and Leukemia (SFCE)].

Children and adolescents who are being treated or have been treated for acute leukemia have a secondary immunodeficiency linked to chemotherapy, resulting in an increased risk of infections. Some of which can be prevented by vaccination but its effectiveness is not optimal during chemotherapy. Upon cessation of chemotherapy, the time required for immune reconstitution varies from three months to more than a year, depending on lymphocyte subpopulations, the patient's age, and the intensity of the treatment received.

[Preventive and therapeutic strategies for relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplant for pediatric AML (SFGM-TC)].

Treatment of pediatric high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), defined either on molecular or cytogenetic features, relies on bone marrow transplant after cytologic remission. However, relapse remains the first post-transplant cause of mortality. In this 13 session of practice harmonization of the francophone society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC), our group worked on recommendations regarding the management of post-transplant relapse in AML pediatric patients based on international literature, national survey and expert opinion.

Prediction of success of CD34+ collection for autotransplantation in children.

Introduction: Intensive chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic tool used in paediatric oncology. In adult patients, a peripheral blood CD34+ cell count superior to 20/μL enables an adequate collection of peripheral blood stem cells. There are no recommendations for children.
