e23328 Background: Musculoskeletal sarcomas are rare and aggressive malignancies requiring multidisciplinary care, which frequently is not available in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). In Armenia, the centralization of pediatric cancer care 2019 at Pediatric Cancer Blood Disorder Center (PCBDC) marked a crucial turning point with establishment team (MDT). This was supported by collaboration University Hospital Münster Germany. Our study aims to highlight impact these initiatives on...
Introduction Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer represent a distinct group exceptional unique characteristics. The survival rates for this age are worse than in children or adults. Cancer care population is challenge, not only low-income countries but also the developed world. This review addresses challenges adolescents face. Methods Two individual authors conducted literature to present global burden of AYAs resource-limited settings. articles selected focused on AYA...
e19002 Background: In Armenia the incidence of pediatric cancer accounts for around 80-100 cases per year. This qualitative study was conducted in 2018 to evaluate needs and challenges a provision care Armenia. Comparative 2020 progress field. Methods: Qualitative research methods were incorporated achievements, childhood Semi-structured in-depth interviews with selected participants including oncologist/hematologists, surgeons, who also treat patients, radiation oncologists. Purposive...
e18612 Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer are a special group of patients unique characteristics. To face the complex clinical, psycho-social needs these national international AYA-tailored programs have been developed in various countries (UK, US, Australia, Italy). There is no AYA-dedicated program Armenia, therefore, all above age 18 years seen by adult oncologists different hospitals, clinical management access to best possible treatment remain challenge. Methods:...
Abstract BACKGROUND To enhance the quality of care available for children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors across world, a systematic evaluation service delivery capacity is needed to identify gaps in pediatric neuro-oncology and prioritize interventions. that end, we created PediAtric Neuro-Oncology Resource AssesMent Aid (PANORAMA) tool. METHODS PANORAMA development consisted three phases: operationalization, consensus building, piloting. was designed have domains capture elements...
Abstract BACKGROUND Most children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors reside in LMICs, yet their complex management is limited by the availability of trained pediatric neuro-oncologists (PNO). The St. Jude Global VPNOF was designed to train oncologists (PO) LMICs as CNS tumor experts while remaining home countries. METHODS structure initially developed through semi-structured interviews physicians who had served global mentors or mentees oncology. Employing a modified Delphi method, we...

11024 Background: Childhood cancer is rare, with an annual global incidence of 400,000 cases. Research articles play a crucial role in disseminating significant advancements this rare field; however, it often experiences delays. We investigated the key factors influencing transition from abstracts presented at American Society Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meetings to publication pediatric oncology field. Methods: analyzed oral (OA), poster (PA), and publication-only (PO) during sessions...
Abstract BACKGROUND Several studies from developed countries showed that centralization of pediatric cancer care is associated with survival benefits. The role might be crucial in neuro-oncology where multidisciplinary approach essential. aim this study to evaluate the impact a developing country. METHODS In 2019, consolidation three pre-existing oncology units Armenia resulted care. After 2019 all patients undergo chemotherapy and follow up at Pediatric Cancer Blood Disorders Center...
Abstract BACKGROUND Medulloblastoma accounts for approximately 20% of all primary CNS tumors. Although advanced diagnostic tools and risk-adjusted treatment regimens produce a more than 70% five-year overall survival in HICs the data from LMICs is scarce. This study analyzed outcome children with medulloblastoma treated Armenia. METHODS Demographic was collected medical records pediatric young adult patients (≤ 25 years) four major centers Armenia 1995-2023. Event-free were estimated using...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR) is a rare aggressive brain low survival rates. There are about 80 cases reported in literature since 2000 when it was first described. no standard treatment scheme for ETANTR yet. CASE REPORT: A 2 years old boy presented month-long of headache inability to hold his head. CT scan MRI revealed large mass the right frontal lobe midline shift. Subtotal resection done. Histological immunohistochemical analyses...
Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children worldwide, including Armenia. The current study aims to analyze epidemiological data, treatment, and outcomes of young adults (≤25 years) with CNS Armenia during last 26 years. Methods: We collected data from pediatric adult patients treated selected sites 1 January 1995 31 December 2020. Incidence by sex, age at diagnosis, time first complaints histopathology results, treatment strategies,...
Abstract BACKGROUND: CNS tumors are the most common solid in children and leading cause of cancer related deaths. The incidence is 1.7-6.21 cases per 100000 children. aim current study to analyze epidemiological data, treatment outcomes young adults (<25 years) with Armenia during last 25 years. METHODS: We have collected data pediatric adult patients treated neurosurgery department, three major chemotherapy clinics radiation therapy department from 01.01.1995 31.12.2020 Armenia....
