Background: Lymphatic leakage is one of the postoperative complications of neuroblastoma. The purpose of this study is to summarize the clinical characteristics and risk factors of lymphatic leakage and try to find effective prevention and treatment measures.
Methods: A retrospective study included 186 children with abdominal neuroblastoma, including 32 children of lymphatic leakage and 154 children of non-lymphatic leakage.
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence guided surgery has been used to treat childhood hepatoblastoma (HB), but the advantages and disadvantages of this technique have not been fully discussed. The purpose of this study is to summarize the experience and to explore the clinical value of this technique for children with HB.
Methods: 45 children with HB who underwent ICG fluorescence guided surgery (n = 22) and general surgery (n = 23) in our center from January 2020 to December 2022 were enrolled retrospectively.

Purpose: To analyze the safety and efficacy of Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) as a treatment for retinoblastoma patients and to evaluate the feasibility.
Methods And Patients: We collected 342 eyes who had PPV after systemic chemotherapy in our retrospective study, then analyze the 5-year overall survival and 5-year event-free survival rate, recurrence rate, and metastasis rate. The above data were used to evaluate the feasibility of PPV in the treatment of retinoblastoma.
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) navigation surgery has been used for hepatoblastoma (HB) in children but the technique has been reported for using in other childhood liver cancers were rare. This article summarizes the application experience of ICG in HB and other childhood liver cancers in children and explores the role of fluorescence intensity measurement in identifying tumors.
Methods: To summarize the clinical experience of children with liver cancer treated by ICG navigation surgery.
Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare pediatric tumor with a relatively favorable prognosis. However, RB is associated with cause-specific mortality, some of that should be of great importance to clinicians. In this study, we summarize the characteristics of cause-specific mortality from nontumor disease in patients with RB.

However, optimal treatments and prognostic markers have not been clearly identified. Gene expression data from primary PTC were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and subjected to two analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by intersecting individual and integrated DEGs analyses as well as gene set enrichment analysis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of total thyroidectomy (TT) and thyroid lobectomy (TL) for these patients.
Study Design: Retrospective population-based database analysis.
