Zusammenfassung: | Molecular genomics analyses aim to identify subsets of patients harboring actionable aberrations as a pathway to improved targeted treatment selection. However, recent pan-cancer analyses of the molecular landscape of pediatric cancers1,2 have emphasized the stark contrast with adult cancers, with low mutation rates, distinct mutated genes and a prevalence of structural rearrangements suggesting that genomic analyses alone have limitations for translation into clinical benefit. The Zero Childhood Cancer (ZCC) program aims to assess the feasibility of precision medicine to identify targeted therapeutic agents for patients with high-risk (HR) pediatric malignancies (expected survival |
