This narrative review describes the scientific value and ethical, regulatory, and organizational challenges of longitudinal pediatric biobanking, advocating accountable life-cycle governance and an interoperable European sample-data continuum for pediatric oncology and rare-disease research.
The review supports pediatric biobanking as infrastructure for biomarker discovery, molecular stratification, and treatment-resistance research; it is reasonable—but not directly demonstrated here—to hypothesize that longitudinal, interoperable sample and clinical-data systems could eventually improve therapy selection and therapeutic discovery in pediatric cancer.
In a retrospective cohort of 106 children with brain tumours, simulated ROI erosion produced more stable ADC radiomic features and smaller diagnostic-accuracy losses than ROI dilation, while training augmentation and stable-feature selection partially improved model robustness.
The study provides evidence that conservative tumour segmentation and robustness-oriented model training can reduce segmentation-related degradation of imaging classifiers; it is an inference, not demonstrated here, that more reliable classifiers could eventually improve diagnostic or treatment-selection decisions.
This small prospective longitudinal study reports that glucagon responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia are impaired from diagnosis and fluctuate toward further deterioration over 18 months in children with type 1 diabetes, with CGM metrics predicting impaired responses at an AUC of 0.79.
The evidence supports CGM-derived glycemic instability metrics as candidate non-invasive markers of defective glucagon counterregulation; it is an inference—not tested here—that identifying high-risk children could guide interventions to reduce hypoglycemia or preserve α-cell function, and no pediatric-cancer therapy is evaluated.
This 15-year retrospective cohort of 93 children undergoing 102 thyroid or parathyroid operations in a specialist multidisciplinary program reports low permanent hypoparathyroidism and generally favorable long-term voice outcomes, while questionnaire respondents frequently described some swallowing impairment and variable scar satisfaction.
The record provides observational evidence that concentrating pediatric thyroid and parathyroid surgery within an integrated pediatric–adult endocrine surgery program can yield acceptable clinical and patient-reported outcomes; it is an inference, not tested comparative evidence, that this care model itself reduces morbidity or improves outcomes relative to other settings.
This case report describes an 8-year-old receiving maintenance therapy for T-ALL who progressed from CMV viremia to ganciclovir-resistant disseminated disease and retinitis despite valganciclovir and subsequent foscarnet and maribavir treatment.
The reported case supports the clinical relevance of resistant CMV in a nontransplant child with ALL; it suggests—but does not establish—that targeted surveillance and early resistance-guided antiviral selection in high-risk, persistently lymphopenic patients could reduce progression to end-organ disease.
This Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry study of 591 histologically verified pediatric low-grade gliomas diagnosed from 1990–2019 reports overall long-term survival above 90%, with lower survival in selected histopathologic and multimodality-treatment groups.
The evidence identifies patient groups associated with poorer survival but does not establish a treatment effect; as an inference, these groups could be prioritized for molecular characterization, risk-adapted trials, and strategies that reduce treatment-related morbidity.
A survey completed by 47 IAEA Member States reports some decade-scale improvements in pediatric cancer services but persistent income-associated disparities in advanced imaging, radiotherapy technology, quality assurance, training, and ancillary support.
The survey does not test a therapy; it supports the inference that targeted investment in radiotherapy and imaging infrastructure, specialized training, quality assurance, and ancillary services could improve equitable treatment delivery and potentially outcomes, but patient-level benefit is not demonstrated.
In a multicenter prospective study of 80 Chinese children with severe plaque psoriasis, an adalimumab biosimilar produced PASI75 and PGA 0/1 responses in 81.0% and 68.4% at week 16, respectively, with frequent adverse events but no reported serious adverse events.
The record supports clinical activity of TNF-alpha blockade with an adalimumab biosimilar in pediatric plaque psoriasis; any potential use for TNF-mediated inflammatory complications in pediatric oncology is only an inference and was neither studied nor supported by oncology-specific outcomes here.
In a FAERS pharmacovigilance analysis of 115,346 monoclonal-antibody-associated reports through June 30, 2023, the study identified 29 disproportionate gastrointestinal adverse-event signals, with bevacizumab yielding the most signals and serious outcomes common among reported cases.
The evidence supports using the identified mAb–gastrointestinal event signals to prioritize safety surveillance and confirmatory studies; it can only be inferred—not established from FAERS—that risk-stratified monitoring or earlier management of events such as enterocolitis or gastrointestinal perforation could reduce treatment-related harm in pediatric oncology.
This article reviews the hematologic manifestations of vitamin B12 deficiency, including pediatric pancytopenia and pseudothrombotic microangiopathy that can mimic marrow failure, myelodysplasia, or hematologic malignancy, and notes recovery following vitamin B12 replacement.
The record states that timely vitamin B12 replacement often produces rapid and complete hematologic recovery; by inference, systematically evaluating cobalamin deficiency in children with unexplained cytopenias could identify a reversible condition and help avoid inappropriate oncologic or marrow-failure treatment, although no comparative intervention data are supplied.
In a retrospective international cohort of fusion-positive papillary thyroid carcinoma in patients aged 0–25 years, age 0–14 years was associated with higher odds of baseline N1b and/or M1 disease, while advanced presentation did not significantly differ between RET- and NTRK-fusion groups.
The evidence supports younger age as a potential clinical risk-stratification marker within fusion-positive pediatric and young adult PTC; it may justify testing age-informed staging and surveillance strategies, but the record does not show that this approach improves treatment selection or outcomes.
The study reports that a transparent ventricular simulator enabled simultaneous endoscopic and external visualization of otherwise hidden tissue displacement during simulated neuroendoscopic procedures, identifying scope- and maneuver-specific risks to the fornix, veins, and other ventricular structures.
The evidence shows procedure-related mechanical displacement in an anatomic model; it is reasonable but unproven to hypothesize that simulator-guided training, trajectory refinement, or device redesign could reduce injury during pediatric neuroendoscopy, including tumor biopsy.
