Characterizing temporal genomic heterogeneity in pediatric low-grade gliomas.

Recent discoveries have provided valuable insight into the genomic landscape of pediatric low-grade gliomas (LGGs) at diagnosis, facilitating molecularly targeted treatment. However, little is known about their temporal and therapy-related genomic heterogeneity. An adequate understanding of the evolution of pediatric LGGs' genomic profiles over time is critically important in guiding decisions about targeted therapeutics and diagnostic biopsy at recurrence.

Vincristine-associated neurological morbidity in the treatment of hepatoblastoma.

Chemotherapy is an essential component of therapy for infants and children with hepatoblastoma. Vincristine has been a mainstay of chemotherapeutic regimens used by North American cooperative groups, based on indirect evidence of benefit and an assumption of minimal added toxicity. European cooperative group trials have reported comparable survival rates using regimens that omit vincristine.
