TargetPrior is a computational framework that uses stability-selected relapse-associated miRNA signatures and literature-curated miRNA–gene networks to prioritize candidate drug targets in childhood acute myeloid leukemia, with benchmarking and independent dataset analysis supporting its ranking approach.
The record supports TargetPrior as a hypothesis-generation and target-ranking tool; it remains an inference that its prioritized genes will identify effective therapies, improve relapse outcomes, or guide treatment selection because no functional target validation, drug testing, or clinical evaluation is reported.
In a single-center prospective real-world cohort of 201 adults with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma, adjunctive Heshu Xiaoji pills were associated with longer progression-free survival after propensity score matching, no statistically significant overall-survival improvement, and comparable adverse events versus standard treatment alone.
The reported human observational evidence supports testing whether Heshu Xiaoji pills can improve progression-free survival when added to standard treatment for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma; any causal benefit, active constituent, biological mechanism, responsive subgroup, or relevance to pediatric liver cancer remains inferential and requires controlled validation.
This single-PICU quality-improvement project implemented the ABCDEF bundle with nurse- and therapist-supported mobility in 140 pediatric oncology patients, finding subtarget delirium screening and early-mobilization rates but frequent ambulation among patients with tracked mobility and no reported mobility-related safety incidents.
The project provides implementation evidence that an ABCDEF-based, nurse-led mobility model is feasible in a pediatric oncology ICU; it is reasonable—but not demonstrated here—to hypothesize that improving bundle adherence could reduce delirium, immobility, or post-intensive-care morbidity.
This retrospective case series reports symptomatic improvement without observed recurrence in five pediatric and young-adult patients with genitourinary-perineal vascular anomalies treated with n-BCA glue embolization followed within one day by surgical excision, with one pulmonary glue thromboembolism and one wound separation.
The reported cases support the preliminary observation that targeted preoperative n-BCA embolization followed by prompt excision may enable treatment of selected genitourinary-perineal vascular malformations with low operative blood loss and symptom improvement; whether it reduces bleeding, recurrence, or morbidity versus surgery, embolization, or sclerotherapy alone remains an untested inference requiring larger comparative studies and longer follow-up.
This meta-ethnographic review of 31 qualitative studies identifies six persistent but phase-dependent psychosocial domains across pediatric cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, highlighting prehabilitation and long-term follow-up as potential intervention points.
The synthesis supports that psychosocial needs change in expression across the cancer continuum; as an inference requiring prospective testing, developmentally and phase-responsive psychosocial pathways initiated during prehabilitation and continued into survivorship could reduce distress and improve adjustment.
In a multicenter observational cohort of female childhood or adolescent acute-leukemia survivors, pregnancies after TBI-based HSCT conditioning had worse obstetric outcomes than pregnancies after alkylator-based conditioning, while the latter were reported to resemble outcomes after conventional chemotherapy.
The evidence supports an association between prior TBI-based myeloablation and adverse later pregnancy outcomes; it can be inferred—but is not established—that reducing ovarian and uterine radiation exposure, selecting non-TBI conditioning when oncologically appropriate, or intensifying reproductive and obstetric surveillance could improve survivorship outcomes.
In a retrospective series of 10 pediatric living-donor liver-transplant recipients receiving 92 CART sessions for refractory ascites, ascites volume was substantially reduced after concentration, approximately 70% of several proteins was recovered, and no serious adverse events were observed.
The record provides evidence that CART can concentrate refractory post-transplant ascites and recover circulating proteins with lower reinfusion volume; it remains an inference requiring prospective testing that this approach improves fluid control, nutritional or coagulation status, treatment tolerance, or clinical outcomes in pediatric transplant or oncology populations.
In a retrospective case-control study of 32 children with ALL and 30 matched healthy controls, serum 8-OHdG was elevated before treatment, decreased after chemotherapy, and was similar to control levels after treatment.
The study provides evidence that serum 8-OHdG tracks with the treated versus pretreatment state in pediatric ALL; it remains an inference, requiring prospective validation against remission, relapse, toxicity, and survival outcomes, that 8-OHdG could serve as a treatment-response or oxidative-injury biomarker.
This systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis of 18 studies reports that eating during cancer treatment is an embodied, emotional, and social struggle for AYAs, while identifying gaps in support and offering 13 evidence-informed care recommendations.
The synthesis supports individualized nutritional, dietetic, family, and psychosocial support as relevant care targets; it is reasonable to hypothesize that tailored interventions addressing these domains could improve eating-related quality of life, but intervention efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes were not tested in the supplied record.
This preprint reports a single-cell multiomic variant-to-function map of inherited childhood B-ALL risk, identifies 34 high-confidence susceptibility genes, and functionally validates a risk allele associated with selective ELK3 upregulation.
The evidence links inherited regulatory variation, including an ELK3-upregulating allele, to B-cell progenitor programs associated with B-ALL predisposition; it remains an inference that targeting ELK3-related pathways or these regulatory programs could enable prevention, risk-adapted surveillance, or therapy.
In an institutional cohort of 47 children and young adults with seizure-associated supratentorial gangliogliomas, volumetric resection of at least 84% was associated with greater odds of Engel Class I seizure freedom at 12 months.
The study provides observational evidence that greater volumetric extent of resection, particularly ≥84%, predicts short-term seizure freedom; it remains an inference requiring external validation that this threshold could guide surgical planning when gross total resection is unsafe or infeasible.
In a Danish nationwide registry cohort of 3,075 children diagnosed with cancer before age 18 during 2014–2024, auditory late effects were recorded in 5.7%, with higher risk reported among younger patients, those with malignant neoplasms, and those receiving high-dose chemotherapy at younger ages.
The study provides observational evidence supporting risk-stratified auditory surveillance in childhood cancer survivors; it is reasonable but untested to infer that earlier detection and intervention could reduce developmental or quality-of-life consequences.
