Article Synopsis
- * Five pediatric patients with VHL-associated hemangioblastomas were treated with belzutifan, leading to improvements in tumor size and vision for those with retinal lesions, and benefits in neurologic symptoms for patients with intracranial tumors.
- * The treatment resulted in minor side effects, such as grade 1-2 anemia in four patients, and suggests belzutifan could be a promising therapy for young patients with these tumors.
