Neuroblastoma, Version 2.2024, NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor diagnosed in children. This inaugural version of the NCCN Guidelines for Neuroblastoma provides recommendations for the diagnosis, risk classification, and treatment of neuroblastoma. The information in these guidelines was developed by the NCCN Neuroblastoma Panel, a multidisciplinary group of representatives with expertise in neuroblastoma, consisting of pediatric oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, and radiation oncologists from NCCN Member Institutions.

Management of recurrent and persistent malignant ovarian germ cell tumors: a narrative review.

Approximately 10% of patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors will experience a tumor relapse. Given the rarity of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors, management of these patients is challenging. Secondary cytoreductive surgery can be considered for carefully selected patients with a goal to achieve complete gross or optimal resection.

Consensus and controversy in the management of paediatric and adult patients with ovarian immature teratoma: the Malignant Germ Cell International Consortium perspective.

Ovarian immature teratoma (IT) is a rare neoplasm comprising ∼3% of ovarian cancers, occurring primarily in young females. Management presents several challenges, including those with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein, potential confusion regarding pathology interpretation, and paucity of data to support decision-making.

Bidirectional processes linking social determinants of health and pediatric sickle cell anemia management: A qualitative study.

Background: Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) have substantial medical needs and more unmet basic needs than children with other medical conditions. Despite a recent focus on social determinants of health (SDoH), there remains an incomplete understanding of the processes linking SDoH and disease management, particularly for youth with SCA. This study elucidated these processes and identified ways to mitigate deleterious effects of adverse SDoH on SCA management.
