State of the art and perspectives in pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) and pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare primary malignant liver cancers in children and young adults. HB is the most common and accounts for about 70 % cases; it is usually diagnosed during the first 3 years of life. Instead, pediatric HCC is uncommon, and it is associated with a poor prognosis.

Autoimmunity and cancer.

In many autoimmune rheumatic diseases, there is an increased risk of cancer compared to the general population. The link between autoimmunity and cancer is dynamic and bidirectional. Recent advances in terms of knowledge of biology, epidemiology, and long-term outcomes for the autoimmune rheumatic diseases have revealed several new connections between these two entities.

Inborn Errors of Immunity and Cancer.

Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by a defect in the function of at least one, and often more, components of the immune system. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the epidemiology, the pathogenesis and the correct management of tumours in patients with IEI. PubMed was used to search for all of the studies published over the last 20 years using the keywords: "inborn errors of immunity" or "primary immunodeficiency" and "cancer" or "tumour" or "malignancy".
