Article Abstract

To explore the psychological experience and emotional needs of returning to family and society after treatment in an adolescent with cancer. A phenomenological research design was employed to conduct a semi-structured interview with nine cancer adolescents in the convalescence stage. Colaizzi's seven-step analysis was used for the data analysis. Three themes of the psychological experience of an adolescent with cancer in convalescence were summarized: continuous negative emotions, emotionally intense behavior, and discomfort of returning to society. The psychological experience of an adolescent with cancer in convalescence returning to family and community is sensitive and complex. Medical staff, families, and schools should provide personalized care according to their different psychological characteristics and emotional needs so that they can return to family and society smoothly.

While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager that has recently transformed front-line treatment for many patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It was originally studied in relapsed/refractory disease, then moved to targeting measurable residual disease (MRD), and has since been shown to improve outcomes for almost every age group when added to consolidation chemotherapy. The evidence supporting blinatumomab is most robust in adult and standard-risk pediatric age groups, but its benefit in adolescents and young adults and high-risk pediatric patients is not yet understood.
