Cancer-predisposition Variants Associated With Adverse Outcomes In Rhabdomyosarcoma

Germline cancer-predisposition variants (CPVs) can be helpful in predicting risk in some pediatric cancers. However, CPV risk association in children with rhabdomyosarcoma has not been well studied. A new report led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine evaluates the association of germline CPVs with rhabdomyosarcoma outcomes in a cohort of children enrolled in Children's Oncology Group studies. The findings are published in JAMA Network Open.

"Compared to other pediatric cancers, survival for rhabdomyosarcoma has not improved in recent decades. One limiting factor in clinical practice is the imprecision of risk stratification strategies, which is why we wanted to study whether CPV presence can be used as a measure for high-risk cases," said corresponding author Dr. Philip Lupo, professor of pediatrics – hematology and oncology and director of the Epidemiology and Population Sciences Program at Texas Children's Cancer Center.

Researchers conducted an exome association analysis of outcomes among 580 children with rhabdomyosarcoma. The presence of CPVs in rhabdomyosarcoma-associated genes was associated with more adverse outcomes. Children with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and CPVs in the TP53 or HRAS gene had particularly poor outcomes. "These outcomes were not driven by a secondary malignancy, which is an important new finding that is in contrast to current understanding in the field," said Lupo, a member of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor.

Another important finding identified a group of individuals with CPVs who had not yet been recognized to have poor outcomes. Researchers observed that children with fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma and CPVs had comparable outcomes to children with no CPVs and fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive subtype known to have poor outcomes.

"The results of our study support germline testing for cancer-predisposition variants among children with rhabdomyosarcoma, which could aid in early clinical surveillance strategies for patients and cascade testing of family members," Lupo said.

"I'm excited that our research might lead to improving clinical guidelines for children diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma and their families. I hope that the findings of our paper will result in new discussions about how to improve survival for children diagnosed with cancer," said first author Dr. Bailey Martin-Giacalone, graduate student in Lupo's lab at Baylor at the time of research and currently a postdoctoral associate at Washington University in St. Louis.

People With Any Of These 87 Muscle Or Joint Conditions Could Be Due Up To £737 Each Month

New figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that there are more than 1.1 million adults across Great Britain receiving support through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for more than 85 musculoskeletal conditions, including 64,202 living in Scotland.

Musculoskeletal conditions are injuries and disorders that affect the human body's movement or musculoskeletal system such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs and blood vessels. Arthritis is a general term that refers to many of these different conditions, however, some common conditions include osteoarthritis, back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, gout, polymyalgia rheumatica, lupus and ankylosing spondylitis.

If you are over 16 and under State Pension age, you may be able to claim PIP - or Adult Disability Payment (ADP) in Scotland - to help with a musculoskeletal condition, and if your ability to work is limited due to your symptoms you could be eligible for 'new style' Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).

The new DWP figures also showed that there are now 3.5 million people in Scotland, England and Wales claiming PIP, including almost 218,859 living in Scotland. However, as more existing PIP claimants living in Scotland are transferred to ADP, that figure will decrease.

Even though new claims for PIP have been replaced in Scotland by ADP, it follows largely similar eligibility criteria, but takes a more 'people-centric' approach, according to Social Security Scotland.

A successful claim for PIP or ADP is currently worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691 every pay period.

However, from April 8 payments will rise by 6.7 per cent as part of the annual uprating exercise. This means payments will be worth between £28.70 and £184.30 each week, or £114.80 and £737.20 each pay period.

PIP claimants with musculoskeletal conditions

The latest data shows that at the end of February 2024, over one million people were receiving support through PIP for Musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Scotland: 64,202 (does not include case transfer or new claims of Adult Disability Payment)
  • England and Wales: 1,036,887
  • Living abroad: 1,031
  • Total: 1,102,171
  • Below is the list of 87 musculoskeletal conditions being supported through PIP to help with either daily living, mobility needs or a combination of both components. It is not definitive, so if your condition does not appear, don't be put off making a claim as an award for PIP or ADP is about how the condition affects you, not the condition itself.

    Below is an overview of PIP and ADP. Even though new claims for PIP have been replaced in Scotland by ADP, it shares most of the same eligibility criteria. Full guidance on ADP can be found on the MYGOV.SCOT website here.

    Who might be eligible for PIP or ADP?

    To be eligible for PIP or ADP, you must have a health condition or disability where you:

    You usually need to have lived in the UK for at least two of the last three years and be in the country when you apply.

    In addition to what we have outlined above if you get or need help with any of the following because of your condition, you should consider applying for PIP or ADP.

  • preparing, cooking or eating food
  • managing your medication
  • washing, bathing or using the toilet
  • dressing and undressing
  • engaging and communicating with other people
  • reading and understanding written information
  • making decisions about money
  • planning a journey or following a route
  • moving around
  • There are different rules if you are terminally ill, you will find these on the GOV.UK website here.

    DWP or Social Security Scotland will assess how difficult you find daily living and mobility tasks. For each task they will look at:

  • whether you can do it safely
  • how long it takes you
  • how often your condition affects this activity
  • whether you need help to do it, from a person or using extra equipment
  • How are PIP and ADP paid?

    PIP and ADP are usually paid every four weeks unless you are terminally ill, in which case it is paid weekly. It will be paid directly into your bank, building society or credit union account. ADP is paid at the same rates as PIP.

    What are the PIP and ADP payment rates?

    You will need an assessment to work out the level of financial help you will receive and your rate will be regularly reviewed to make sure you are getting the right support.

    PIP is made up of two components:

    Whether you get one or both of these and how much depends on how severely your condition affects you.

    You will be paid the following amounts per week depending on your circumstances:

    Daily living

    Mobility

    How you are assessed

    You will be assessed by an independent healthcare professional to help the DWP determine the level of financial support, if any, you need, for PIP.

    Face-to-face consultations for health-related benefits are offered alongside video calls, telephone and paper-based assessments - it's important to be aware that the health professional and DWP determine which type of assessment is best suited for each claimant. You can find out more about DWP PIP assessments here.

    Adult Disability Payment assessments will not involve face-to-face assessments, unless this is preferred by the claimant - find out more about the changes here.
