Article Synopsis
- A study on retinoblastoma (RB) epidemiology aimed to assess incidence rates, survival rates, and the occurrence of secondary tumors in European children diagnosed with this cancer between 2000 and 2013.
- Researchers analyzed data from 81 cancer registries, including 3,262 patients aged 0 to 14, finding an overall annual incidence of 4.0 cases per million children and a remarkable 5-year survival rate of 97.8%.
- The study revealed significant variations in incidence rates across countries and identified 25 cases of secondary tumors, suggesting a higher risk for these patients following RB treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate whether children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of developing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) compared to the general population.
- After analyzing data from over 118,000 children, it found 8 cases of LCH, which is higher than the expected 3.75 cases, but this result was not statistically significant.
- The research indicated a notable association between increased LCH cases and specific ART methods like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), especially in instances of male factor infertility, suggesting more research is needed despite the overall low risk.
Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) require specialized follow-up throughout their lifespan to prevent or manage late effects of cancer treatment. Knowing the size and structure of the population of CCS is crucial to plan interventions. In this scoping review we reviewed studies that reported prevalence of CCS in Europe.
