Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer in children. In recent Total Therapy studies conducted at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, children with ALL had a 5-year overall survival of around 94%. This is the result of a combination of risk stratification based on the biological features of the leukemic cells and the response to treatment (as assessed by the detection of minimal residual disease), treatment modification based on pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenomic data, and improved supportive care. However, innovative approaches are required to further improve survival to as close to 100% as possible and to reduce the adverse effects of treatment. Next-generation sequencing of leukemic cell DNA and RNA, as well as of germline DNA, can identify submicroscopic genetic structural changes and sequence alterations that contribute to leukemogenesis. Next-generation sequencing data can be used to define new ALL subtypes, to help improve treatment response and reduce adverse effects, and to identify novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets to facilitate personalized precision medicine. In this article, we describe our approach to detecting targetable lesions in patients with ALL by next-generation sequencing and explain how we integrate the sequencing data into the treatment of these patients.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 September 2018.
All research outputs
#3,963,176
of 23,009,818 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#653
of 6,073 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#84,599
of 439,388 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#14
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,009,818 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,073 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,388 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
