Progression and Relapse of Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Individualized Approach of Treatment – Experience from a Major Pediatric Cancer Center in Europe
Conclusion In addition to well characterized clinical factors such as local or systemic relapse, the Oberlin score could be helpful in counselling patients and their families for choosing the best strategy of care.

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5292: Garcinol and Anacardic Acid, Natural Inhibitors of Histone Acetyltransferases, Inhibit Rhabdomyosarcoma Growth and Proliferation
In this study, the impact of the natural histone acetyltransferase inhibitors (HATi)—garcinol (GAR) and anacardic acid (AA)—on the biology of RMS cells was evaluated through a series of in vitro tests measuring proliferation, viability, clonogenicity, cell cycle and apoptosis. Moreover, using oligonucleotide microarrays and real-time PCR, we identified several genes whose expression changed after GAR and AA treatment. The examined HATi significantly reduce the invasive phenotype of RMS cells by inhibiting the growth rate, viability and clonogenic abilities. What is more, these substances cause c...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 3532: Cell-Free DNA Extracted from CSF for the Molecular Diagnosis of Pediatric Embryonal Brain Tumors
Conclusion: CSF cfDNA sequencing yielded informative results in 60% (15/25) of all cases, with informative results in 83% (15/18) of all cases analyzed by WES. These results pave the way for the implementation of these novel approaches for molecular diagnosis and minimal residual disease monitoring. (Source: Cancers)

Phase I trial of ganitumab plus dasatinib to cotarget the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor and Src family kinase YES in rhabdomyosarcoma
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of dasatinib 60 mg/m2/dose daily and ganitumab 18 mg/kg every two weeks was safe and tolerable. This combination had a disease control rate of 22% at five months.PMID:37398992 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0709 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Immunotherapy treatment has been a rapidly developing field and has demonstrated improvements in outcomes for multiple types of solid malignancies. In rare CNS tumors, the role of immunotherapy is being explored. In this article, we review the preclinical and clinical data of various immunotherapy modalities in select rare CNS tumors, including atypical meningioma, aggressive pituitary adenoma, pit...
