Published: April 1999

Late relapse of childhood lymphoblastic leukemia 10 years after the end of treatment is rare. A young woman whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia recurred 11 years after the end of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia is described, and the literature on late relapse of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia is reviewed.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of acute lymphoblastic or myeloid leukemia diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 39 years are at risk for adverse late health effects following cancer treatment and require ongoing survivorship care. This study aims to understand the landscape of transitioning AYAs with leukemia from active treatment to survivorship care. A cross-sectional, anonymous online survey was sent out via listserv/email.

Unlabelled: Biochemical analyses of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are routinely performed at diagnosis in many pediatric oncology and hematology centers when acute leukemia is diagnosed. However, the clinical relevance of these analyses remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective analysis of biochemical CSF data from children diagnosed with acute leukemia at two French hospitals between 2016 and 2023 assessing the results in relation to the presence or absence of leukemic neuromeningeal involvement and the correlation between cytological and biochemical analyses.

Background: Clonal mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (B-LPDs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasia characterized by the proliferation of mature B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymphoid tissues. B-LPDs classification into different subtypes and their diagnosis is based on a multiparametric approach. However, accurate diagnosis may be challenging, especially in cases of ambiguous interpretation.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combining monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic payloads are a rapidly emerging class of immune-based therapeutics with the potential to improve the treatment of cancer, including children with relapse/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CD123, the α subunit of the interleukin-3 receptor, is overexpressed in ALL and is a potential therapeutic target. Here, we show that pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), a recently developed ADC comprising the CD123-targeting antibody, G4723A, and the cytotoxic payload, DGN549, was highly effective in vivo against a large panel of pediatric ALL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models ( = 39).

Background: This study aimed to develop a prognostic model based on extracellular trap-related genes (NETRGs) for patients with cALL.

Methods: Data from the TARGET-ALL-P2 and TARGET-ALL-P3 cohorts in the Genomic Data Commons database, the transcriptome dataset GSE26713, the single-cell transcriptome dataset GSE130116 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and 306 NETRGs identified were analysed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from GSE26713 and differentially expressed NETRGs (DE-NETRGs) were obtained by overlapping DEGs with NETRGs.
