- An 11-year-old boy diagnosed with CCSK received chemotherapy to shrink the tumor, but experienced complications that required emergency procedures to manage bleeding from specific blood vessels supplying the tumor.
- After successful transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) to control the bleeding, the patient stabilized, underwent tumor removal, and completed chemotherapy with no recurrence over a six-year follow-up period, highlighting TAE's effectiveness in managing complications in pediatric tumors. *
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic inflammatory disease resulting in an acute febrile syndrome commonly affecting children younger than 5 years. Coronary arteritis in KD is occasionally non-responsive to several treatments. Recently, adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and tissue-repair characteristics and are considered a useful treatment for inflammatory disease.

- Therapeutic outcomes for childhood cancers have improved, but secondary malignancies remain a significant concern for survivors, impacting their quality of life.
- A study at Nippon Medical School Hospital analyzed data from 275 childhood cancer cases from 1980 to 2014, focusing on the development and outcomes of secondary cancers.
- The study found that secondary malignancies occurred in 11 patients, typically years after the initial treatment, with specific types like AML and meningioma being linked to the prior therapies, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in survivors.
