Aim: No widely agreed consensus protocols exist for the management of benign ovarian tumors (BOT) in children. This presents a substantial risk for suboptimal management. We aimed to generate multispecialty consensus guidance to standardize surgical management and provide a clear follow-up protocol for children with BOTs.

Current standard of care for patients with disease that has spread outside of the ovary (advanced-stage) utilizes platin-based chemotherapy regimens. The study objective was to compare clinical outcomes between platin-based (carboplatin versus cisplatin) strategies across all age groups (children < 11 years (y), adolescents = 11-25 y and young adult women > 25 y) for advanced-stage dysgerminoma.

- Wilms' tumours (WT) with retrohepatic vascular extension usually need special heart surgery to remove them, but the experience shared shows it can be done differently.
- A study looked at 10 kids with these tumours and found that chemotherapy helped shrink the tumours before surgery.
- The surgery involved carefully moving the liver and removing the tumour without any major complications during the operation, but one child sadly passed away a year later from the disease spreading.
