    Abstract Renal medullary carcinomas (RMC) are rare aggressive tumors of the kidneys, characterized by a loss of SMARCB1. Characteristically, these tumors arise in patients with sickle cell trait or other hemoglobinopathies. Recent characterization efforts have unraveled oncogenic pathways that drive tumorigenesis. Among these, gene sets that characterize replicative stress and the innate immune response are upregulated in RMCs. Despite comprehensive genetic and transcriptomic characterizations, commonalities or differences to other SMARCB1 deficient entities so far have not been investigated. We analyzed the methylome of seven primary RMC and compared it to other SMARCB1 deficient entities such as rhabdoid tumors (RT) and epithelioid sarcomas using 850 K methylation arrays. Moreover, we evaluated the differential gene expression of RMC using RNA-sequencing in comparison to other rhabdoid tumors. In accordance with previous gene expression data, we found that RMCs separate from other SMARCB1 deficient entities, pointing to a potentially different cell of origin and a role of additional genetic aberrations that may drive tumorigenesis and thus alter the methylome when compared to rhabdoid tumors. In a focused analysis of genes that are important for nephrogenesis, we particularly detected genes that govern early nephrogenesis such as FOXI1 to be hypomethylated and expressed at high levels in RMC. Overall, our analyses underscore the fact that RMCs represent a separate entity with limited similarities to rhabdoid tumors, warranting specific treatment tailored to the aggressiveness of the disease.

    Abstract Extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumors (extracranial MRT) are rare, highly aggressive malignancies affecting mainly infants and children younger than 3 years. Common anatomic sites comprise the kidneys (RTK - rhabdoid tumor of kidney) and other soft tissues (eMRT - extracranial, extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor). The genetic origin of these diseases is linked to biallelic pathogenic variants in the genes

    Abstract Introduction: Granulocyte transfusions have long been used to bridge the time to neutrophil recovery in patients with neutropenia and severe infection. Recent randomized controlled trials did not prove a beneficial effect of granulocyte transfusions, but were likely underpowered and suffered from very heterogeneous study populations.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of all patients treated with granulocyte transfusions at our pediatric center from 2004 to 2019. To identify parameters that predict the success of granulocyte transfusions, we stratified patients in 3 groups. Patients in group 1 cleared their infection, whereas patients in group 2 succumbed to an infection in neutropenia despite granulocyte transfusions. A third group included all patients who died of causes that were not related to infection.
    Results: We demonstrate that patients without respiratory or cardiocirculatory insufficiency are enriched in group 1 and more likely to benefit from granulocyte transfusions than patients who already require these intensive care measures. The effect of granulocyte transfusions correlates with the cell dose per body weight applied per time. With our standard twice weekly dosing, patients with a body weight below 40 kg are more likely to achieve a sufficient leukocyte increment and clear their infection in comparison to patients with a higher body weight.
    Discussion/conclusions: We suggest that future studies on the benefits of granulocyte transfusions stratify patients according to clinical risk factors that include the need for respiratory or cardiocirculatory support and strive for a sufficient dose density of granulocyte transfusions.

    Abstract Background: Cancer immunotherapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy have shown variable response rates in paediatric patients highlighting the need to establish robust biomarkers for patient selection. While the tumour microenvironment in adults has been widely studied to delineate determinants of immune response, the immune composition of paediatric solid tumours remains relatively uncharacterized calling for investigations to identify potential immune biomarkers.
    Methods: To inform immunotherapy approaches in paediatric cancers with embryonal origin, we performed an immunogenomic analysis of RNA-seq data from 925 treatment-naïve paediatric nervous system tumours (pedNST) spanning 12 cancer types from three publicly available data sets.
    Results: Within pedNST, we uncovered four broad immune clusters: Paediatric Inflamed (10%), Myeloid Predominant (30%), Immune Neutral (43%) and Immune Desert (17%). We validated these clusters using immunohistochemistry, methylation immune inference and segmentation analysis of tissue images. We report shared biology of these immune clusters within and across cancer types, and characterization of specific immune cell frequencies as well as T- and B-cell repertoires. We found no associations between immune infiltration levels and tumour mutational burden, although molecular cancer entities were enriched within specific immune clusters.
    Conclusions: Given the heterogeneity of immune infiltration within pedNST, our findings suggest personalized immunogenomic profiling is needed to guide selection of immunotherapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) are the most common malignant brain tumors manifesting in infancy. They split into four molecular types. The major three (AT/RT-SHH, AT/RT-TYR, and AT/RT-MYC) all carry mutations in SMARCB1, the fourth quantitatively smaller type is characterized by SMARCA4 mutations (AT/RT-SMARCA4). Molecular characteristics of disease recurrence or metastatic spread, which go along with a particularly dismal outcome, are currently unclear. Here, we investigated tumor tissue from 26 patients affected by AT/RT to identify signatures of recurrences in comparison with matched primary tumor samples. Microscopically, AT/RT recurrences demonstrated a loss of architecture and significantly enhanced mitotic activity as compared to their related primary tumors. Based on DNA methylation profiling, primary tumor and related recurrence were grossly similar, but three out of 26 tumors belonged to a different molecular type or subtype after second surgery compared to related primary lesions. Copy number variations (CNVs) differed in six cases, showing novel gains on chromosome 1q or losses of chromosome 10 in recurrences as the most frequent alterations. To consolidate these observations, our cohort was combined with a data set of unmatched primary and recurrent AT/RT, which demonstrated chromosome 1q gain and 10 loss in 18% (n = 7) and 11% (n = 4) of the recurrences (n = 38) as compared to 7% (n = 3) and 0% (n = 0) in the primary tumors (n = 44), respectively. Similar to the observations made by DNA methylation profiling, RNA sequencing of our cohort revealed AT/RT primary tumors and matched recurrences clustering closely together. However, a number of genes showed significantly altered expression in AT/RT-SHH recurrences. Many of them are known tumor driving growth factors, involved in embryonal development and tumorigenesis, or are cell-cycle-associated. Overall, our work identifies subtle molecular changes that occur in the course of the disease and that may help define novel therapeutic targets for AT/RT recurrences.

    Abstract Background: Adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) encompassing the adrenocortical adenoma (ACA), carcinoma (ACC), and tumors of undetermined malignant potential (ACx) are rare endocrine neoplasms with a poor prognosis. We report on pediatric ACT patients registered with the Malignant Endocrine Tumor studies and explore the EXPeRT recommendations for management. Patients: Data from the ACT patients (<18 years) were analyzed. For the risk prediction, the patients were retrospectively assigned to the COG stages and the five-item score. Results: By December 2021, 161 patients with ACT (ACA n = 51, ACx n = 19, and ACC n = 91) had been reported (the median age at the diagnosis was 4.3 years with a range of 0.1−17.8), with lymph node and distant metastases in 10.7% and 18.9% of the patients with ACC/ACx. The mean follow-up was 4.5 years (with a range of 0−16.7). The three-year overall (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 65.5% and 50.6%. In the univariate analyses, the OS was impaired for patients aged ≥ 4 years (p = 0.001) with the initial biopsy (p = 0.016), tumor spillage (p = 0.028), incomplete tumor resection (p < 0.001), unfavorable histology (p = 0.047), and COG stages III/IV (p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed COG stages III/IV and an unfavorable five-item score as independent negative prognostic factors for the EFS and OS. Conclusions: Age defines the clinical presentation and prognosis in pediatric ACTs. The outcome is best predicted by the COG stage and five-item score.
