Journal ArticleDOI

The landscape of genomic alterations across childhood cancers

Susanne Gröbner, +185 more
- 15 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that 7–8% of the children in this cohort carry an unambiguous predisposing germline variant and that nearly 50% of paediatric neoplasms harbour a potentially druggable event, which is highly relevant for the design of future clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The whole-genome landscape of medulloblastoma subtypes

Paul A. Northcott, +95 more
- 19 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The application of integrative genomics to an extensive cohort of clinical samples derived from a single childhood cancer entity revealed a series of cancer genes and biologically relevant subtype diversity that represent attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of patients with medulloblastoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Brain Tumor Entities Emerge from Molecular Classification of CNS-PNETs

Dominik Sturm, +122 more
- 25 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a significant proportion of institutionally diagnosed CNS-PNETs display molecular profiles indistinguishable from those of various other well-defined CNS tumor entities, facilitating diagnosis and appropriate therapy for patients with these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Next-generation personalised medicine for high-risk paediatric cancer patients – The INFORM pilot study

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the feasibility of comprehensive, real-time molecular profiling for high-risk paediatric cancer patients and expands upon previous personalised oncology endeavors, and presents a model with considerable interest and practical relevance in the burgeoning era of personalised medicine.
