Article Synopsis
- The initiative aimed to engage children affected by cancer, survivors, families, and healthcare professionals to identify and prioritize research questions that could shape future studies on childhood cancer.
- An online survey gathered over 1,200 potential questions, which were then refined and shortlisted through surveys and workshops with participants, resulting in a final consensus on the Top 10 priorities.
- The most significant concern identified was the need for more effective and less burdensome treatments for children with cancer, emphasizing a focus on improving patient care and outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in kids, with about one-third facing relapses or treatment-resistant cases that lead to worse outcomes.
- - A systematic review analyzed early phase studies involving over 1,100 children with relapsed/refractory rhabdomyosarcoma to guide future research and aid families and clinicians in treatment decisions.
- - Findings revealed that most therapies result in poor outcomes, with a median progression-free survival of ≤6 months and a 21.6% objective response rate, highlighting the need for better and more consistent research reporting.
