Pediatric Leukemia: Immunotherapy and Precision Medicine Insights

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last 10 years, there have been significant advances in the field of pediatric leukemia and immunotherapy, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, bispecific T cell engager antibody treatment, and the detection of measurable residual disease using next-generation sequencing methods. This Special Issue will provide a platform for laboratory investigators and clinical researchers to share their work on developing advanced, innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with the potential to transform outcomes for children with high-risk leukemia. We are seeking contributions that highlight the development and clinical implementation of novel therapies, such as cellular therapies, targeted toward the disease itself or morbidities associated with treatments such as stem cell transplantation and targeted immunotherapies. We welcome reports of ongoing clinical trials and laboratory studies that shed light on emerging therapeutic strategies poised to shape the future of this field.
