Skin (dermatologic) conditions are common in people who are receiving or have received cancer treatment. Sometimes the condition is related to the cancer, and sometimes it is related to cancer treatment. In either case, skin conditions can affect a person's quality of life.

Researchers are assessing a lower dose of standard radiation therapy after chemotherapy in young people with germinomas. The patients in this study have germinomas of the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord).  It is hoped that this new approach can destroy germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational treatment UCART22 that can be given safely in children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment. UCART22 is a form of CAR T-cell therapy. It is made from white blood cells (T cells) from healthy donors. The T cells are genetically modified in a laboratory to identify and destroy cancer cells containing a protein called CD22.

Researchers are assessing the use of cobimetinib to treat Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and other histiocytic disorders. Histiocytic disorders are diseases caused by the abnormal function or buildup of immune cells called histiocytes. Cobimetinib works by blocking the activity of a protein called MEK. This protein leads to the abnormal growth and development of histiocytosis cells.

The purpose of this study is to see how treatment for retinoblastoma in one eye affects quality of life in survivors of this cancer who had chemotherapy (injected into the eye) or surgery to remove the eye. Researchers will ask participants about their physical and emotional health and ability to perform daily activities. They want to determine if there are any differences between these treatments with respect to their effect on quality of life. It is hoped that this information will help doctors provide better care for children with retinoblastoma in the future and better follow-up care for survivors of this cancer.

Researchers want to find the best dose of CBX-250 to treat leukemia that came back or keeps growing after treatment. The people in this study have one of these diseases:
-
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry of patients with a rare disease called pediatric-onset opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (POOMAS). POOMAS affects the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves. Its exact cause is unknown, though a small number of patients with neuroblastoma may have this condition.
-
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of the drug selinexor that can be given safely with radiation therapy in young patients newly diagnosed with pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma. Researchers will also determine the effectiveness of combining selinexor with radiation therapy (given for eight weeks) followed by selinexor therapy alone for two years.

Cushing's syndrome occurs when the adrenal glands produce too much of the "stress hormone" known as cortisol. This can be caused by a tumor which develops in the pituitary gland and secretes a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Cushing's syndrome can also be caused by an ACTH-secreting tumor elsewhere in the body, or by a tumor in the adrenal glands that makes cortisol.

Daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin are different chemotherapy drugs used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CPX-351 is made up of daunorubicin and cytarabine. It is created in a way that makes the drugs stay in the bone marrow longer and could be less likely to cause heart problems than traditional anthracycline drugs, a common class of chemotherapy drugs used in cancer care.
