Invasive fungal infections in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: Results from four Australian centres, 2003-2013

Invasive fungal infections are more common in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and in relapsed disease

Parental occupational exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields and risk of leukaemia in the offspring: Findings from the Childhood Leukaemia International Consortium

We did not find any associations between parental occupational extremely low-frequency magnetic fields exposure and childhood leukaemia

Exploiting temporal aspects of cancer immunotherapy

Many mechanisms underlying an effective immunotherapy-induced antitumour response are transient and critically time dependent. This is equally true for several immunological events in the tumour microenvironment induced by other cancer treatments. Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has proven to be very effective in the treatment of some cancers, but unfortunately, with many cancer types, most patients do not experience a benefit.

SNO-EANO-EURACAN consensus on management of pineal parenchymal tumors

Pineal parenchymal tumors are rare neoplasms for which evidence-based treatment recommendations are lacking. These tumors vary in biology, clinical characteristics, and prognosis, requiring treatment that ranges from surgical resection alone to intensive multimodal antineoplastic therapy.

Deciphering IGH rearrangement complexity and detection strategies in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterised by various genomic alterations that influence disease progression and therapeutic outcomes. Gene fusions involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene represent a complex and diverse category.
