- Pediatric renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a rare, aggressive cancer in children with lower survival rates compared to other pediatric cancers, influenced by factors like sex, race, ethnicity, age, and socio-economic status.
- A retrospective study analyzed 174 pRCC cases from 1973 to 2015 to understand survival rates, identifying significant disparities, such as black/AA children being nearly three times more likely to die from the disease than white children.
- The study highlights the need for further research into socio-economic and demographic factors affecting pRCC outcomes, as well as exploring insufficiently studied determinants like area of residence.

- Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an effective autologous T-cell therapy for various types of lymphoma, showing high patient satisfaction with outpatient monitoring, which is more cost-effective than inpatient care.
- The successful implementation of outpatient monitoring programs for liso-cel requires collaboration among nurses, advanced practice providers (APPs), and other stakeholders, supported by thorough training and flexible processes.
- Key features for effective outpatient monitoring include same-day discharge after infusion, ongoing patient availability for follow-up, and a coordinated approach to manage adverse events across different facilities.
