Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in pediatric. In highrisk NB patients, the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) remains a stark < 50 % with conventional therapies. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high dose chemotherapies was used in poor prognosis and high-risk patients.

The ability of immune cells to expand numerically after infusion distinguishes adoptive immunotherapies from traditional drugs, providing unique therapeutic advantages as well as the potential for unmanageable toxicities. Here, we describe a case of lethal hyperleukocytosis in a patient with neuroblastoma treated on phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03294954) with autologous natural killer T cells (NKTs) expressing a GD2-specific chimeric antigen receptor and cytokine interleukin 15 (GD2-CAR.15).

Background: Image-defined risk factors (IDRFs) were introduced to provide a consensus approach for pre-treatment risk stratification on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with neuroblastoma.
Objective: To assess the intra- and inter-reader agreement of radiologists in identifying IDRFs on CT.
Materials And Methods: Approval for this retrospective study was granted by our institutional research ethics board with a waiver of consent.

Background: The humanized anti-disialoganglioside-2 monoclonal antibody naxitamab was approved in the USA in 2020 for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma, limited to the bone or bone marrow, in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Treatment with naxitamab under expanded access was initiated by physicians from the Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in August 2021.
Objective: We reviewed all suspected adverse reactions (ARs) reported to the Y-mAbs Argus Global Pharmacovigilance Safety Database for patients treated with naxitamab under expanded access in China from 1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022.

Background & Purpose: Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), developed by Olympus Medical Systems, has played a role in diagnosing digestive tract lesions and cancers, diagnosing and characterizing bladder cancers during cystoscopy and in the diagnosis and management of Head and Neck cancers. We aim to explore the potential use of NBI in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of sinonasal tumours.
Methods: We present a series of cases treated at our institution, where NBI played a crucial role in the diagnosis, surgical management, intraoperative decision-making, and follow-up.
