BackgroundProton therapy (PT) has potential advantages in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (pHL). However, there are limited data on PT, specifically to infradiaphragmatic targets. We report on PT planning details, doses achieved to organs at risk (OARs), and clinical and toxicity outcomes for patients with pHL who received PT to infradiaphragmatic regions.MethodsThis is a retrospective study including patients treated between 2011 and 2022. Demographic and clinical factors were collected, and toxicity was reported using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Dosimetric and clinical factors associated with key outcomes were assessed via Cox regression. Photon plans were generated for all patients, and the paired t‐tests or Wilcoxon signed rank sum tests were used for dosimetric comparisons.ResultsTwenty‐one patients comprising 22 PT courses were included. Median follow‐up was 5.0 years, and mean age was 14.2 years. Median dose was 21 Gray equivalent (GyE) over 14 fractions. Top acute grade 1 (G1) toxicities included fatigue (59%) and anorexia (36%). Rates of acute G2 and G3+ toxicity were 18% and 0%, respectively. After PT, no local or marginal failures occurred. Five percent experienced disease progression, who were all successfully salvaged, and all patients were alive and disease‐free at last follow‐up. No secondary malignancies developed. Compared to photon radiotherapy, PT achieved significantly lower doses to the bowels, stomach, spleen, pancreatic tail, liver, kidneys, and pelvic bones.ConclusionsPT is well‐tolerated and leads to excellent oncologic and toxicity outcomes with long‐term follow‐up. PT confers dosimetric advantages when compared to photons.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular reconstruction is rarely performed in children. We present a 3‐year‐old male with stage IV hepatoblastoma and pre‐treatment extent of disease (PRETEXT) stage III with tumor into the portal vein and superior mesenteric vein (SMV), and with brain and lung metastases status post chemotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery to left frontal brain lesion. He then underwent deceased donor liver transplant with Roux‐en‐Y hepaticojejunostomy complicated by two recurrences to bilateral lungs treated with wedge resections. His course lastly involved a third hepatoblastoma recurrence to the SMV that was managed with pylorus‐preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with SMV resection and reconstruction.

Background/objectivesThe Berlin–Frankfurt–Münster (BFM)‐S classification is a crucial prognostic indicator in children experiencing first‐relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Early molecular response to therapy, evaluated by measurable/minimal residual disease (MRD), has a significant impact on the survival of patients with childhood ALL. Applying risk stratification based on the BFM‐S classification and MRD response after induction, the first nationwide prospective multicenter study, ALL‐R08, was conducted in children with first‐relapsed ALL in Japan.MethodsThe ALL‐R08 study comprised two parts: ALL‐R08‐I, an observational study aimed at obtaining an overall picture of outcomes in first‐relapsed childhood ALL, and ALL‐R08‐II, a clinical trial for the non‐T‐ALL S2 risk group. In ALL‐R08‐II, patients with an MRD level of ≥10−3 at the end of induction therapy were assigned to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HCT), whereas those with an MRD level less than 10−3 and isolated extramedullary relapse continued to receive chemotherapy.ResultsIn total, 163 patients were enrolled in the ALL‐R08 study, and 82 and 81 patients were enrolled in the ALL‐R08‐I and the ALL‐R08‐II, respectively. In ALL‐R08‐I, the probability of 3‐year event‐free survival (EFS) for patients with S1, S2, S3, S4, and post‐HCT groups was 83% ± 15%, 37% ± 11%, 28% ± 8%, 14% ± 7%, and 0%, respectively. In the ALL‐R08‐II trial, 3‐year EFS in patients with post‐induction MRD less than 10−3 and ≥10−3 was 70% ± 9% (n = 27) and 68% ± 8% (n = 31) (p = .591), respectively.ConclusionsALL‐REZ BFM‐type treatment is equally effective for children with first‐relapsed ALL treated according to the Japanese frontline protocols and for children with first‐relapsed ALL treated according to the BFM‐type frontline protocols.

The aim of this scoping review is to describe the role, education, policies/regulation, skills and competencies required for advanced practice in paediatric haematology‐oncology nursing in Europe, highlighting the differences in development between the different European countries. A scoping review was conducted following the methodological framework of guidelines by Arksey and O'Malley and the recommendations for advancing the methodology by Levac et al. We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Scopus, grey literature, webpages, reference lists and performed a manual search, without any restrictions on language or time. The intersection between databases, grey literature and evidence documents traced from the sites of the most authoritative European organisations in the field made it possible to identify the regulatory and training differences between the various countries that were examined. This scoping review highlights how advanced knowledge and competences are used in the care of paediatric haematology‐oncology patients, which are strictly necessary for implementing quality care. At present these competences are not recognised in policies and regulation in most of the countries that were examined. It is desirable that all EU member states work to implement a radical change and allow these more competent figures to assist patients in the best possible way.
