ABSTRACT Accurate staging of nodal involvement in pediatric sarcoma patients is important to determine correct systemic and local therapy, with the goal reduce subsequent recurrences. However, differences lymph node strategies, definitions, treatment protocols between Children's Oncology Group (COG), European paediatric Soft tissue Study (E p SSG), Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS) complicate comparisons. In this article, we aim establish internationally recognized...
Abstract COVID-19 has a mild clinical course with low mortality rate in general pediatric population, while variable outcomes have been described children cancer. Infectious diseases working party of the AIEOP collected data on characteristics and SARS-CoV-2 infections oncology/hematology patients from April 2020 to May 2021, including second third waves pandemic Italy. Factors potentially associated moderate, severe, or critical were analyzed. Of 153 SARS-Cov2 recorded, 100 asymptomatic 53...
Vaccines represent the best tool to prevent severity course and fatal consequences of pandemic by new Coronavirus 2019 infection (SARS-CoV-2). Considering limited data on vaccination pediatric oncohematological patients, we developed a Consensus document support Italian hematological oncological (AIEOP) centers in scientifically correct communication with families patients promote vaccination. The topics were: SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) subjects; COVID-19 vaccines (type, schedule); who...
Fig. 1 Chest x-ray showing widespread opacification of both lungs.Key Points Children show a milder course COVID-19 infection than adults.2 The impact in paediatric patients with chronic or degenerative diseases is not known.3 Dedicated guidelines should be developed for these and their families.
COVID-19 is a SARS–CoV-2 syndrome that can involve all organs, including the circulatory system. Endothelial cell inflammation occurs within blood vessels and contributes to pathological events, thrombosis vascular dysfunction [3]. The cutaneous manifestations of in children reported literature include chilblain-like lesions, erythema multiforme, urticaria, Kawasaki disease-like inflammatory multisystemic syndrome, acute hemorrhagic edema infancy [2]
PURPOSE Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are often driven by anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusions and less frequently alternative such as ROS1. We describe the clinical characteristics, treatment approach, outcome for a series of young patients with IMTs ROS1 alterations. METHODS This was retrospective, international, multicenter study analyzing (younger than 21 years) ROS1-altered treated in 10 European referral centers between 2014 2022. Patients were included pediatric Soft tissue...
Objectives: To evaluate the ability to predict central venous pressure by ultrasound measured inferior vena cava and aortic diameters in a PICU population assess interoperator concordance. Design: Noninterventional observational study. Setting: of tertiary-care academic center. Patients: Eighty-eight pediatric patients (0–16 yr old) with catheter place were studied. Sixty-nine percent received positive-pressure ventilation. Interventions: None. Measurements Main Results: An experienced...
Purpose: This study set out to evaluate the psychosocial effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among adolescents with cancer, and whether these are significantly different who were undergoing therapy or had completed it. Materials Methods: The AIEOP Adolescents Working Group Psychosocial adapted a questionnaire, which was by 214 adolescent cancer patients ( M age =16.3 y, range: 15 19 y old) treated at 16 centers in North (38%), South (31%), Center (31%) Italy. Results: results...
We describe three children who developed an osteosarcoma after receiving treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which included allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT). discuss the therapeutic options. None of patients responded to conventional chemotherapy, but one patient given regorafenib showed a temporary response. conclude that BMT has aggressive course and it is worth further investigating multikinase inhibitors in this setting.

Separate questionnaires for ROs POs were developed distributed, indications PRT, current practices, perceived barriers. The...
not-yet-known unknown Background: Timely diagnosis is critical in pediatric oncology to optimize treatment outcomes. Diagnostic delays may impact tumor extension and prognosis, necessitating analysis of diagnostic intervals across different neoplasms. Methods: We analyzed data from 749 patients diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma between 1996 2016. interval (DI) was defined as days symptom onset diagnosis, (TI) initiation. Factors influencing DI TI were collected, including patient age,...
SARS-COV-2 infection can be asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. The effect of chemotherapy on an infected patient is unknown. Three hundred-thirty-four and 56 NFS were performed as screening for SARS-CoV-2 in 247 34 pediatric patients undergoing stem cell transplantation, respectively. was positive 10 patients. All withdrew from chemotherapy. Nine became negative. One still after 38 days.The identification important to reduce the hospital spread infection. Further studies are needed define...
We report on the case of a 12-year-old girl, who presented with an ovarian germ cell tumor and cytopenia (anemia thrombocytopenia) as associated paraneoplastic syndrome, which gradually regressed after tumor’s removal. This adds to previously described syndromes potentially tumor.
