Article Synopsis
- Infantile myofibroma is a rare, noncancerous tumor found in infants, usually treated with surgery; however, some cases may require chemotherapy with vinblastine and methotrexate despite limited supporting evidence.
- Administering chemotherapy to infants poses significant challenges due to unknown effects and dosages of drugs like vinblastine, which complicates treatment protocols.
- A study involving four infants highlighted significant differences in how the drug behaves in each patient, emphasizing the need for personalized dosing strategies to ensure effective treatment while managing potential risks.
Routinely measurable biomarkers as predictors for adverse outcomes in febrile neutropenia could improve management through risk stratification. This systematic review assesses the predictive role of biomarkers in identifying events such as bacteraemia, clinically documented infections, microbiologically documented infection, severe sepsis requiring intensive care or high dependency care and death. This review collates 8319 episodes from 4843 patients.
