AI Summary
This article discusses new research that reveals a paradigm shift in the understanding of T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) in children. The research indicates that T-ALL is often driven by genetic changes in non-coding regions of DNA. This discovery has the potential to transform the approach to diagnosing and treating this aggressive and high-risk form of cancer in children.
