We did not find any associations between parental occupational extremely low-frequency magnetic fields exposure and childhood leukaemia

Invasive fungal infections in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: Results from four Australian centres, 2003-2013

Invasive fungal infections are more common in children with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and in relapsed disease

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

Efficacy of acute myeloid leukemia therapy without stem-cell transplantation in a child with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm

Our case demonstrates that AML therapy, without HSCT, can be sufficient to treat this rare disease in children.

Deregulated expression of connective tissue growth factor is linked to poor outcome in human cancer

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) has long been associated with human cancers. The role it plays in these neoplasms is diverse and tumour specific.
