Bacillus Cereus Bacteremia and Multiple Brain Abscesses During Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Induction Therapy

Bacillus cereus can cause serious infections in immunosuppressed patients. This population may be susceptible to B. cereus pneumonia, bacteremia, cellulitis,...

Idiosyncratic nature of voriconazole photosensitivity in children undergoing cancer therapy

In adults, the unpredictability of voriconazole pharmacokinetics, particularly in those patients receiving chemotherapy, is well recognised. A paucity of...

Interactions between acute lymphoblastic leukemia and bone marrow stromal cells influence response to therapy

To identify links between drug resistance and gene deregulation we used oligonucleotide microarray technology.

Meningiomas in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis of individual patient data

The epidemiological, prognostic, and therapeutic features of child and adolescent meningioma are poorly defined...

Interactions between acute lymphoblastic leukemia and bone marrow stromal cells influence response to therapy

The cure rate for pediatric patients with B precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) is steadily improving, however relapses do occur despite...

Polymorphisms associated with normal memory variation also affect memory impairment in schizophrenia

Neurocognitive dysfunction is a core feature of schizophrenia with particularly prominent deficits in verbal episodic memory.

MEIS proteins as partners of the TLX1/HOX11 oncoprotein

Aberrant expression of the TLX1/HOX11 proto-oncogene is associated with a significant subset of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias...

From signalling pathways to targeted therapies: unravelling glioblastoma’s secrets and harnessing two decades of progress

Glioblastoma, a rare, and highly lethal form of brain cancer, poses significant challenges in terms of therapeutic resistance, and poor survival rates for both adult and paediatric patients alike. Despite advancements in brain cancer research driven by a technological revolution, translating our understanding of glioblastoma pathogenesis into improved clinical outcomes remains a critical unmet need.

Temporal changes in childhood cancer incidence and survival by stage at diagnosis in Australia, 2000–2017

The Toronto Paediatric Cancer Stage Guidelines are a compendium of staging systems developed to facilitate collection of consistent and comparable data on stage at diagnosis for childhood cancers by cancer registries.

Long-term outcomes of symptomatic optic pathway glioma: 32-year experience at a single Western Australian tertiary pediatric oncology center

Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are associated with significant risk of visual and endocrine morbidity, but data on long-term outcomes in symptomatic patients is sparse. This study reviews the clinical course, disease progression, survival outcomes and long-term sequelae in pediatric patients with symptomatic OPGs in our institution over three decades.
