Research

The Australian and New Zealand Children's Haematology/Oncology Group Biobanking Network

The ANZCHOG-BN was developed to improve and streamline access to high quality pediatric and adolescent/young adult cancer biospecimens for cancer research

Research

Most clinical anti-EGFR antibodies do not neutralize both wtEGFR and EGFRvIII activation in glioma

We discovered a previously unknown major resistance mechanism in glioma in that most EGFR domain III-targeting antibodies do not neutralize EGFRvIII

Research

Use of bevacizumab as a single agent or in adjunct with traditional chemotherapy regimens in children with unresectable or progressive low-grade glioma

Bevacizumab is well tolerated and appears most effective for rapid tumor control to preserve vision and improve morbidity

Research

International experience in the development of patient-derived xenograft models of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

This multi-center study provides valuable information on the success rate of establishing patient-derived pre-clinical models of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

Research

Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

This chapter summarizes recent advances in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and potential novel therapies

Research

Exercise training improves vascular function and secondary health measures in survivors of pediatric oncology related cerebral insult

This study demonstrates that exercise is achievable and has positive effects on vascular function, submaximal fitness, local strength and physical activity in a population of AYA survivors of pediatric oncology related cerebral insult

Research

"Pre-emptive strike"-the case for early treatment of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome with defibrotide

We describe the case of a child with a right 11th rib primitive neuroectodermal tumor who developed HSOS following focal radiotherapy and actinomycin-D treatment

Research

Activation of ERBB4 in Glioblastoma Can Contribute to Increased Tumorigenicity and Influence Therapeutic Response

Despite low ERBB4 mRNA in glioblastoma, the functional effects of increased ERBB4 activation identify ERBB4 as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target

Research

Clinical, Radiologic, Pathologic, and Molecular Characteristics of Long-Term Survivors of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

We report clinical, radiologic, and molecular factors that correlate with survival in children and young adults with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
