Incidence and survival of European adolescents and young adults diagnosed with sarcomas: EUROCARE-6 results.

Background: Epidemiological data for sarcoma in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and across age groups are limited. We aim to: 1) update sarcoma incidence, survival, and changes over time in European AYAs; 2) provide an updated comparison of sarcoma survival in AYAs versus children and mature adults.

Methods: We calculated crude incidence rates (IR) per 100,000 European population per year from 2006 to 2013.

Noncanonical altPIDD1 protein: unveiling the true major translational output of the gene.

Proteogenomics has enabled the detection of novel proteins encoded in noncanonical or alternative open reading frames (altORFs) in genes already coding a reference protein. Reanalysis of proteomic and ribo-seq data revealed that the p53-induced death domain-containing protein (or ) gene encodes a second 171 amino acid protein, altPIDD1, in addition to the known 910-amino acid-long PIDD1 protein. The two ORFs overlap almost completely, and the translation initiation site of altPIDD1 is located upstream of PIDD1.

Alveolar soft part sarcomas in young patients: The French national NETSARC+ network experience.

Background And Aims: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is an ultra-rare chemo-resistant sarcoma in children, occurring preferentially in young adults. We aimed to describe and compare its clinical presentation and behaviour in children and young adults to determine whether the same therapeutic strategy should be addressed for both populations.

Methods: National retrospective multicentre study of children (0-18 years) vs.

NUT carcinoma in children, adolescents and young adults.

Background: NUT carcinoma (NC), defined by the presence of the NUTM1 rearrangement, is an aggressive tumour associated with poor prognosis. This rare cancer is underdiagnosed and difficult to treat.

Objective And Methods: The primary objective of this review is to describe the clinical, radiological and laboratory features of NC in young patients.

Analysis of Radiation Dose/Volume Effect Relationship for Anorectal Morbidity in Children Treated for Pelvic Malignancies.

Purpose: To examine dose-volume effect relationships for anorectal morbidity in children treated with image-guided brachytherapy for pelvic tumors.

Methods And Materials: Medical records of all consecutive children with pelvic tumors treated in our center and receiving image-guided pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy with or without external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) between 2005 and 2019 were reviewed. The effect of the minimal doses to the most exposed 0.
