Crizotinib-induced antitumour activity in human alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cells is not solely dependent on ALK and MET inhibition [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant soft tissue tumour in children and adolescents. Aberrant expression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and MET gene has been implicated in the malignant progression of RMS ...

Corresponding Author and colleagues identify a pancreas‐enriched microRNA, miR‐216b‐5p, that suppresses PTBP1 and its downstream effector TYMS. Their findings reveal a novel miR‐216b‐5p/PTBP1/TYMS regulatory axis driving pancreatic cancer progression and establish PTBP1 as a central molecular regulator of tumor biology beyond its metabolic role ...

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest wall: A case report and review of the literature
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a soft-tissue sarcoma which has a predilection for the head and neck area, genitourinary tract and the extremities. We report a rare case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest wall in an 8-year-old girl, presenting as a

ESF-EMBO symposium "molecular biology and innovative therapies in sarcomas of childhood and adolescence" Sept 29–Oct 4, Polonia Castle Pultusk, Poland [PDF]
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and Ewing sarcoma (ES) are among the most common pediatric sarcomas (Arndt et al., 2012). Despite sarcomas representing a highly heterogeneous group of tumors, ES and alveolar RMS (ARMS) typically share one common genetic ...

Superficial Ewing Sarcoma of the Rectum: A Case Report and the Utility of Molecular Diagnostics
ABSTRACT Ewing sarcoma is an undifferentiated small round cell sarcoma that most commonly presents as a malignant bone tumor in pediatric and young adult patients. The diagnosis is typically confirmed by molecular genetic identification of a fusion protein, most commonly involving members of the FET and ETS gene families.

Loss of the PTCH1 tumor suppressor defines a new subset of plexiform fibromyxoma. [PDF]
BackgroundPlexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is a rare gastric tumor often confused with gastrointestinal stromal tumor. These so-called "benign" tumors often present with upper GI bleeding and gastric outlet obstruction.

Cross-Species Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization Identifies Novel Oncogenic Events in Zebrafish and Human Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma [PDF]
Human cancer genomes are highly complex, making it challenging to identify specific drivers of cancer growth, progression, and tumor maintenance. To bypass this obstacle, we have applied array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) to zebrafish ...

Emerging Techniques in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Hematologic Malignancies
ABSTRACT Hematologic malignancies represent the most common cancers in children. While the mainstays of treatment are chemotherapy and potentially hematopoietic stem cell transplant, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has a role in the diagnosis and management of complications related both to disease and therapy as well as common pediatric surgical ...

Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.
