[Clinical efficacy of combined therapy in children with stage 4 neuroblastoma].

Objectives: To study the early clinical efficacy of combined therapy of stage 4 neuroblastoma.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data and follow-up data of 14 children with stage 4 neuroblastoma who were diagnosed in Hong Kong University-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021.

Results: The median age of onset was 3 years and 7.

Impact of brain tumor and its treatment on the physical and psychological well-being, and quality of life amongst pediatric brain tumor survivors.

Purpose: Compelling evidence has shown that pediatric brain tumor survivors are more susceptible to physical, neurocognitive, and psychological sequelae. This study assessed the impact of cancer and its treatment on the physical and psychological well-being, and quality of life of Hong Kong Chinese pediatric brain tumor survivors.

Methods: A total of 157 pediatric cancer survivors aged 8-16 were recruited.

Relationships among fatigue, physical activity, depressive symptoms, and quality of life in Chinese children and adolescents surviving cancer.

Purpose: Fatigue is the most common concern reported by childhood cancer survivors. Assessing its occurrence and severity is a prerequisite for planning and evaluating appropriate interventions. Nevertheless, there is a lack of large-scale surveys which examine the occurrence and severity of fatigue and its associated factors.

The Impact of Hematologic Cancer and Its Treatment on Physical Activity Level and Quality of Life Among Children in Mainland China: A Descriptive Study.

Background: The effects of hematologic cancer and its treatment on Chinese children's physical activity level and quality of life (QoL) remain unclear despite numerous studies conducted in Western countries and Hong Kong.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hematologic cancer and its treatment on the physical activity level and QoL among Chinese children.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.

Factors contributing to the low physical activity level for Hong Kong Chinese children hospitalised with cancer: an exploratory study.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the factors contributing to the low physical activity level for Hong Kong Chinese children hospitalised with cancer.

Background: Notwithstanding the fact that regular physical activity can ameliorate cancer-related fatigue and other adverse effect of cancer treatment on children's physical and psychological well-being, physical inactivity is a common problem among children undergoing cancer treatment. Understanding the factors that affect their physical activity level is an important step towards planning and evaluating an appropriate intervention that promotes the adoption and maintenance of regular physical activity.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the fatigue scale-adolescent.

Background: The availability of a valid and reliable instrument that accurately assesses the level of fatigue among adolescent cancer survivors is crucial before any appropriate interventions to reduce their fatigue can be appropriately planned and evaluated. The study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Fatigue Scale for Adolescents. In particular, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine its factorial structure.

The Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Fatigue Scale for Children.

Background: The availability of a valid and reliable instrument that accurately assesses the level of fatigue among childhood cancer survivors is a prerequisite for developing and evaluating interventions designed to reduce fatigue. There is a lack of such an instrument for use in the Hong Kong Chinese context.

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Fatigue Scale for Children.
