Evaluation of Potential Damage to the Brain and Its Vascularization from Flash Proton Therapy
Evaluation of Potential Damage to the Brain and Its Vascularization from Flash Proton Therapy
Proton Therapy in Children Proton therapy is a high-precision radiotherapy method that reduces the exposure of healthy tissues surrounding the tumor, thus lowering radiation toxicity compared to conventional radiotherapy. It is therefore perfectly suited for treating children. About the Project Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and are widely treated with […]
Interest of 3D Modeling in the Surgery of Neuroectodermal Tumors in Children
Interest of 3D Modeling in the Surgery of Neuroectodermal Tumors in Children
The Interest of 3D Modeling in Pediatric Surgery Pediatric genetic, developmental, and oncological diseases have not benefited from advancements in advanced simulation, computer assistance, and automation, especially for surgical interventions. This is unfortunate, particularly because the pediatric population requires special attention due to the specific nature of the pathologies involved (malformations and tumors) and the […]
CoBioRB: a research program to optimize treatments for childhood retinoblastoma
CoBioRB: a research program to optimize treatments for childhood retinoblastoma
CoBioRB is a research program led by Prof. Petra Ketteler to identify biomarkers for optimizing treatment of childhood retinoblastoma. About Childhood Retinoblastomas Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor that develops in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue layer at the back of the eye. This tumor originates from immature retinal cells called “developing retinal cells.” Retinoblastoma is […]
CURE2MILL, a program to improve leukemia treatment
CURE2MILL, a program to improve leukemia treatment
CURE2MILL is a research program aimed at improving the treatment of children affected by the most severe forms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. About Childhood Leukemias Childhood leukemia is similar to adult leukemia but can present certain differences. Acute leukemia is a type of cancer characterized by the spread of cancerous cells originating from the bone […]
DIGITWINS, the program to better understand neuroblastoma
DIGITWINS, the program to better understand neuroblastoma
DIGITWINS is a research program funded by Imagine for Margo, aimed at gaining a better understanding of high-risk neuroblastoma using artificial intelligence. About Childhood Neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is an extracranial malignant tumor that develops from primitive nerve cells called neuroblasts, which normally form nerve cells in the body. This type of solid tumor is one of […]
BT4ChildLC, the research program against childhood liver cancer
BT4ChildLC, the research program against childhood liver cancer
BT4ChildLC is a research program aimed at identifying predictive biomarkers and new therapies to fight childhood and adolescent liver cancer more effectively. About Pediatric Liver Cancer In children, malignant tumors originating in the liver are rare, accounting for 1% of pediatric cancers. In 90% of cases, these are either hepatoblastomas (HB, 2/3) or hepatocarcinomas (HCC, […]
HEM-iSMART, a clinical trial for better treatment of leukemia and lymphoma
HEM-iSMART, a clinical trial for better treatment of leukemia and lymphoma
HEM-iSMART is an international clinical trial, co-funded by Imagine for Margo, aimed at improving the treatment of refractory pediatric malignant leukemia and lymphoma. Childhood Leukemias Leukemia in children is similar to that in adults but can have certain peculiarities. Acute leukemia is a type of cancer characterized by the spread of cancerous cells originating from […]
NEWTargets, a research program to find a better cure for Ewing’s sarcoma
NEWTargets, a research program to find a better cure for Ewing’s sarcoma
NEWTargets is a research program aimed at using immunotherapy to target neoproteins specific to Ewing’s sarcoma, in order to cure children and adolescents suffering from this type of disease more effectively. Childhood Sarcomas Ewing sarcoma is the second most common malignant bone tumor after osteosarcoma in adolescents and young adults. Ewing sarcoma affects approximately 80 […]
