Integrated germline and somatic molecular profiling to detect cancer predisposition has a high clinical impact in poor-prognosis paediatric cancer Open
Germline predisposition has a significant role in paediatric cancer. However, the optimal approach to identifying cancer-causing germline pathogenic variants (GPV) in children, and even the prevalence of GPV among children with cancer, rem…

Precision-guided treatment improves outcomes for children with high-risk cancers Open
Recent reports have shown that precision medicine can identify new treatment strategies for childhood cancer patients. However, it remains unclear which patients will benefit most from precision-guided treatment (PGT). Here we report 384 c…

Methotrexate Chemotherapy Causes Growth Impairments, Vitamin D Deficiency, Bone Loss, and Altered Intestinal Metabolism—Effects of Calcitriol Supplementation Open
Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is prevalent in childhood cancer patients and survivors after chemotherapy; further studies are needed to investigate the underlying aetiology and effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in preventi…

Childhood Cancer Survivors’ Reported Late Effects, Motivations for Seeking Survivorship Care, and Patterns of Attendance Open
Background Childhood cancer survivors are vulnerable to long-term treatment-related health conditions, which can lead to poor quality of life. Little data exist on the overall health of long-term Australian and New Zealand childhood cancer…

A novel transcriptional signature identifies T-cell infiltration in high-risk paediatric cancer Open
Molecular profiling of the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) has enabled the rational choice of immunotherapies in some adult cancers. In contrast, the TIME of paediatric cancers is relatively unexplored. We speculated that a more refi…
