Family, demographic and illness-related determinants of HRQL in children with brain tumours in the first year after diagnosis.

29 Nov 2009 AIMS: To evaluate the relationship between parent- and child-report Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) and demographic, tumour and family variables in children with a brain tumour in the first year after diagnosis and to identify determinants of ... Read more...

Congenital aggressive variant of Langerhans cells histiocytosis with CD56+/E-Cadherin- phenotype.

29 Nov 2009 In children < 2 years of age, cutaneous involvement is the most frequent presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Cutaneous LCH can be localized or associated with dissemination and organ dysfunction. The clinical course is variable, ... Read more...

VEGF expression as a prognostic marker in osteosarcoma.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway is the key regulator of angiogenesis. In osteosarcoma baseline VEGF is of proven prognostic value but prognostic potential of post-NACT VEGF expression is largely unexplored. ... Read more...
