A high degree of suspicion is required to identify neuroblastoma presenting in an atypical manner. Here the child initially exhibited just left-sided facial paralysis, mimicking Bell’s palsy.
Compared with the general population, childhood cancer survivors have a twofold increased risk for melanoma, with substantially worse survival for those who develop invasive melanoma.
CPS are genetic disorders that significantly increase the risk of developing malignancies. The malignant features of CPS are well-studied, but recognizing their non-malignant features is crucial for early diagnosis in children and adolescents.
Gene therapy with betibeglogene autotemcel leads to high rates of transfusion independence in patients with severe transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia.
Carney complex is a rare syndrome characterized by skin pigmentation, endocrine disorders, and myxomas. This case presents a 13 year old girl diagnosed with Carney complex who underwent a successful right lateral mini-thoracotomy.

Neurodegenerative diseases raise public health concerns. Recent evidence indicates that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) sufferers will triple by 2050. The rising incidence of dementia diagnoses raises concerns about the socio-economical and emotional …
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) involves transplanting hematopoietic stem cells from different donor types and sources, aiming to completely or partially replenish and replace the patients’ hematopoietic system [ 1 ]. HSCT presents …
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a complex and specialised medical procedure. It is used to treat haematological malignancies which are now the 5th most common cancer in the UK. Approximately 37,320 cases are diagnosed every year …
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shed light on the link between somatic mutations (SM) and the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in AA patients.
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard treatment for relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The BEAM regimen is widely used, but the MEAM regimen is more common in Japan due to the …

Anxiety disorders and/or depressive disorders co-occurring with hematological cancer are an additional burden for patients. Experiential avoidance (EA; efforts to avoid negative emotions, thoughts, or memories) is an empirically evident …
Patients treated with an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) face a significant mortality risk, which might trigger existential distress. We aimed to investigate how hematology health care professionals (HCPs) address …
