Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) accounts for almost two-thirds of all B-cell non- Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) in children and adolescents and is charac- terised by a MYC translocation and rapid cell turnover. Intensive chemotherapeutic regimens have been developed in recent decades, includ- ing the lymphomes malins B (LMB) protocol, which have resulted in a sur- vival rate in excess of 90%. Recent clinical trials have focused on immunochemotherapy, with the addition of rituximab to chemotherapeutic backbones, showing encouraging results. Despite these advances, relapse and refractory disease occurs in up to 10% of patients and salvage options for these carry a dismal prognosis. Efforts to better understand the molecu- lar and functional characteristics driving relapse and refractory disease may help improve this prognosis. This study has established a paediatric BL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) resource which captures and maintains tumour heterogeneity, may be used to better characterise tumours and identify cell populations responsible for therapy resistance.
