Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last decade, precision oncology has taken several leaps forward and can now be implemented into clinical management of high-risk pediatric cancer at diagnosis and at relapse. The introduction of whole genome and transcriptomic sequencing have enabled for the identification of clinically targeted treatments, including molecular alteration in several oncogenic signaling pathways. However, these advances have influenced a minority of patients, with the long-term efficacy and toxicity of these novel agents still being relatively unknown.
In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions that include case reports that cover the novel aspects of the following topics:
- Advances in precision oncology diagnostics and therapeutics;
- Use of liquid biopsy from plasma or cerebrospinal liquid to inform patient-specific management at diagnosis, relapse or in case of refractory disease;
- Combination of targeted therapy with conventional chemo-radiotherapy;
- Case reports where rare unexpected side effects of targeted therapy— including immune therapy—have occurred;
- Utilization of other techniques to classify and direct therapy, such as proteomics or metabolomics in pediatric precision oncology.
