摘要: The area of molecularly-targeted cancer therapeutics is generating tremendous interest and excitement. While clinical investigation these agents has been largely limited to adults, trials for paediatric patients with many are now underway. This paper reviews the current status therapies malignancies, special attention given one class agents, inhibitors FLT3 receptor tyrosine kinase. expressed activated in human leukemias, including a significant percentage pediatric AML infant childhood ALL, especially setting MLL gene rearrangement. Activating mutations portend poor prognosis AML. Activated can be effectively selectively targeted by small molecule inhibitors, have shown promise early phase adults Limited preclinical data MLL-rearranged ALL also reported. Challenges future directions use other discussed.
