Abstract
Therapy results in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma reflect remarkable progress in pediatric oncology. In the last decade, relevant development of new therapeutic options for children with refractory or relapsed disease has been made. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed therapy results and risk factors in children treated in a single oncology center according to five therapeutic protocols. Data from 114 children treated by a single institution between 1997 and 2022 were analyzed. Classic Hodgkin lymphoma therapy results were divided into four therapeutic periods: 1997-2009, 2009-2014, 2014-2019, and 2019-2022. For nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, data from one therapeutic protocol was analyzed. For the entire group, the 5-year probability of overall survival was 93.5%. There were no statistically significant differences between therapeutic periods. The occurrence of B symptoms at diagnosis and incidence of relapse were risk factors for death (p = 0.018 and p < 0.001). Relapse occurred in 5 cases. The 5-year probability of relapse-free survival for the entire group was 95.2%, without significant differences between groups. Patients treated between 1997 and 2009 had over a sixfold higher risk for events, defined as primary progression, relapse, death, or incidence of secondary malignancies (OR = 6.25, p = 0.086). The 5-year probability of event-free survival for all patients was 91.3%. Five patients died, and the most common cause of death was relapse. Modern therapeutic protocols in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma are marked by excellent outcomes. Patients with disease relapses have a notably high risk of death, and the development of new therapeutic options for this group remains one of the main goals of current trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by the occurrence of multisystem tumors, among which the most characteristic are optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) and plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs). With the development of new anticancer drugs targeting the immune system, it is important to examine the immunological status of patients with NF1. Furthermore, the immune system has been suggested as a probable modulator of NF1-associated phenotypes. The objective of this study was the analysis of lymphocyte subset populations with respect to the presence of PNFs and OPGs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients with NF1 diagnosed with OPG/PNF were analyzed for lymphocyte subpopulations. RESULTS Significantly lower levels of B-cells, T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells were observed in the group of patients with PNFs compared to those with OPG. CONCLUSION Our observation may indicate a correlation between weakened functioning of the immune system and the formation of PNFs.

Abstract
Coordinated medical care offered in Poland for patients suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1 and related RASopathies combines complex multispecialty consultation with permanent supervision and the patient's oriented longitudinal care. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is one of the most common single gene disorders in the global population, observed in 1 out of 2500-3000 live births. It is a primary neoplasia disease with 100% penetration of the gene mutation but remarkable age-dependent onset of different disease signs and symptoms, outstanding clinical heterogeneity between patients even in one family and lack of genotype-phenotype correlation, a high rate of spontaneous mutation exceeding 50%, and multiple comorbidities among which increased risk of malignancy is the most important. Medical practice proved that not only patient-oriented complex but also coordinated care provided in centers of competence is indispensable for patients and the families and provides a sense of medical security to them in conjunction with public health costs rationalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Neurocutaneous disorders, also referred as phacomatoses, are congenital disorders manifesting at different ages with central nervous system and cutaneous abnormalities. Analysis of the demographic and clinical profile of patients with phacomatoses in the context of the incidence and spectrum of malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 20 years of data in a single-center study in Poland. RESULTS Phacomatoses were diagnosed in 45.6% (913/2,003) of referred patients, including 61.4% children. The distribution of phacomatoses included: neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in 92.4%, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) 3.9%, neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) 2.0%, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome 0.5%, Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome 0.5%, and other sporadic diseases 0.7%. Non-phacomatosis patients were diagnosed mainly for cafe-au-lait-macules (42.8%). The frequency of malignancy was 9.4% (86/913), including 9.1% in patients with NF1; 27.8% in NF2; and 8.3% in TSC. Multiple malignancies were diagnosed in 0.7% and 7% of all phacomatosis and malignancy-diagnosed patients, respectively. CONCLUSION The risk of malignancy in patients with phacomatoses was 21.3-fold higher than in the general population. The risk of secondary malignancy was 7%.
