Evaluating Age-related Disparity of Outcomes in Ewing Sarcoma Patients Treated at a Pediatric Academic Medical Center.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with Ewing sarcoma have inferior survival compared with pediatric patients even when treated with similar regimens. Investigation into specific explanations is lacking. A retrospective chart review of Ewing sarcoma patients at a single institution was performed, and 104 patients were identified, 45 were 15 to 39 years of age (AYA cohort) and 59 younger than 15 years (pediatric cohort).

Cabozantinib for relapsed neuroblastoma: Single institution case series.

Relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma has few effective therapies currently available or in development. Cabozantinib is an Food and Drug Administration approved multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor for select adult malignancies with preclinical data suggesting efficacy against neuroblastoma. A safe and tolerable dose has been identified for children, but its efficacy remains unknown.

A novel SAMD9 variant identified in patient with MIRAGE syndrome: Further defining syndromic phenotype and review of previous cases.

We present here a case of MIRAGE syndrome due to novel variant (c.2318T>C) in the sterile α motif domain-containing protein 9 (SAMD9) gene. Previous reports have described the clinical phenotype, which includes myelodysplasia, recurrent infections, restriction of growth and development, adrenal insufficiency, genitourinary abnormalities, and enteropathies, often resulting in fatality within the first few years of life.
