We explored the significance of these markers in a large population of 769 affected children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;By using the database of patients enrolled in A.I.E.O.P. (Associazione Italiana di Emato-Oncologia Pediatrica) trial LH2004 for paediatric HL, we identified 769 consecutive patients treated with curative intent from 1st June 2004 to 1st April 2014 with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), or hybrid COPP/ABV (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, procarbazine, doxorubicin, bleomycin and vinblastine) regimens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;On multivariate analysis with categorical forms, the 5-year freedom from progression survival was significantly lower in patients with stage IV or elevated value of platelets, eosinophils and ferritin at diagnosis. Furthermore, stage IV and eosinophils seem to maintain their predictive value independently of interim (after IV cycles of chemotherapy) positron emission tomography.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Using the combination of four simple markers such as stage IV and elevated levels of platelets, ferritin and eosinophils, it is possible to classify the patients into subgroups with very different outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26630532?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Randi, Maria L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geranio, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertozzi, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Micalizzi, Concetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tucci, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ladogana, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menna, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consarino, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiori, Giovanni M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burnelli, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jankovich, Momcilo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peroni, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duner, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basso, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putti, Maria C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Are all cases of paediatric essential thrombocythaemia really myeloproliferative neoplasms?

Here, we assessed 89 children with a clinical diagnosis of ET and found that 23 patients (25·8%) had a clonal disease. The JAK2 V617F mutation was identified in 14 children, 1 child had the MPL W515L mutation, and 6 had CALR mutations. The monoclonal X-chromosome inactivation pattern was seen in six patients (two with JAK2 V617F and two with CALR mutations). The other 66 patients (74·2%) had persistent thrombocytosis with no clonality. There were no clinical or haematological differences between the clonal and non-clonal patients. The relative proportion of ET-specific mutations in the clonal children was much the same as in adults. The higher prevalence of non-clonal cases suggests that some patients may not have myeloproliferative neoplasms, with significant implications for their treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25716342?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
