Bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) is the strongest predictor of relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) in ALL therapy has wide inter-individual variation in disposition and is strongly influenced by polymorphisms in the thiopurine methyltransferase (<i>TPMT</i>) gene. In 952 patients treated according to the NOPHO ... Read more >>

<h4>Background</h4>The risk of venous thromboembolism is increased in adults and enhanced by asparaginase-based chemotherapy, and venous thromboembolism introduces a secondary risk of treatment delay and premature discontinuation of key anti-leukaemic agents, potentially compromising survival. Yet, the trade-off between benefits and harms of primary thromboprophylaxis in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated according to asparaginase-based ... Read more >>

6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) is widely used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and its cytotoxicity is primarily mediated by thioguanine nucleotide (TGN) metabolites. A recent genomewide association study has identified germline polymorphisms (e.g., rs72846714) in the NT5C2 gene associated with 6-MP metabolism in patients with ALL. However, the full ...

Malignant gliomas (MG) are among the most prevalent and lethal primary intrinsic brain tumors. Although radiotherapy (RT) is the most effective nonsurgical therapy, recurrence is universal. Dysregulated DNA damage response pathway (DDR) signaling, rampant genomic instability, and radio-resistance are among the hallmarks of MGs, with current therapies only offering palliation. ...

Insufficient exposure to asparaginase therapy is a barrier to optimal treatment and survival in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Three important reasons for inactivity or discontinuation of asparaginase therapy are infusion related reactions (IRRs), pancreatitis and life-threatening central nervous system (CNS). For IRRs, real-time therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and premedication ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Repurposing of cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs) emerges as an attractive therapeutic solution against various cancers, including leukemia. CADs target lysosomal lipid metabolism and preferentially kill cancer cells via induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization, but the exact effects of CADs on the lysosomal lipid metabolism remain poorly illuminated.<h4>Objectives</h4>We aimed to systematically ...
