[Mid-long term follow-up reports on head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma in children].

To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and to summarize the mid-long term efficacy of Beijing Children's Hospital Rhabdomyosarcoma 2006 (BCH-RMS-2006) regimen and China Children's Cancer Group Rhabdomyosarcoma 2016 (CCCG-RMS-2016) regimen. A retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 137 children with newly diagnosed head and neck RMS at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2013 to December 2021 were collected.

[Long-term efficacy and prognostic factors of Beijing Children's Hospital-2009-lymphoblastic lymphoma in the treatment of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma in children and adolescents].

To summarize the long-term efficacy of Beijing Children's Hospital-2009-lymphoblastic lymphoma (BCH-2009-LBL) in the treatment of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) in children and adolescents and to explore the prognostic factors. T-LBL children admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2009 to April 2017 were retrospectively included. According to clinical stage, prognostic genes and treatment response, the children were divided into low, intermediate and high risk groups, and stratified treatment was performed according to the BCH-2009-LBL protocol, with follow-up until December 31, 2023.

[Clinical features and outcomes of digestive tract perforation in pediatric mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma].

To summarize the clinical features and prognosis of pediatric mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (mB-NHL) with digestive tract perforation. The clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, treatment and outcomes of mB-NHL children complicated with digestive tract perforation admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 12 patients were included, with 11 males and 1 female, aged 0.

[Clinical study of 15 cases of primary non-immunodeficient central nervous system lymphoma in children].

Clinical data of 15 primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) children aged ≤18 years admitted to our hospital between May 2013 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Our goal was to summarize the clinical features of children and investigate the therapeutic effect of a high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based chemotherapy regimen on this disease. The male-to-female ratio was 2.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demographic and disease burden of pediatric malignant solid tumors in China: a single-center, cross-sectional study.

Background: With the development of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), China implemented measures in an attempt to control the infection rate. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study to ascertain the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the equitable availability of medical resources for children diagnosed with malignant solid tumors in China.

Methods: Data on the demographics, clinical characteristics, and medical expenses of 876 patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma (HB), Ewing sarcoma (ES), and central nervous system (CNS) tumors from 2019 to 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, were retrospectively collected from the National Center for Children's Health.

Pediatric spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma with fusion: a case report and literature review.

Background: gene fusion is a recently identified and highly distinct molecular subtype of spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), with fewer than 40 cases being reported to date. Due to its low incidence, clinical studies on this subtype are limited. Here, we report a new case of this rare entity to describe and summarize its unique clinical characteristics and treatment process, aiming to emphasize the importance of molecular testing for spindle cell/sclerosing RMS and increase the understanding of this subtype.

Hepatoblastoma with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis: Two case reports.

We report two children with hepatoblastoma (HB) with a history of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Case 1 was diagnosed with HB at 5 months of age. Liver enlargement was found during the NEC operation at 3 months of age and then was clinically diagnosed by imaging.

Particle implantation combined with chemotherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma of the head and neck: A 8-year long-term follow-up case report.

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) are highly malignant soft-tissue sarcomas. Head and neck RMSs often pose unique challenges to treatment because of their closeness to important structures. We here report a rare case of a 1-year-old boy with a 1-month history of right eye swelling and an eye mass.

Elevated exosome-transferrable lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 in CD56 NK cells is responsible for the impaired NK function in neuroblastoma patients by suppressing cell glycolysis.

NK cells are one of key immune components in neuroblastoma (NB) surveillance and eradication. Glucose metabolism as a major source of fuel for NK activation is exquisitely regulated. Our data revealed a diminished NK activation and a disproportionally augmented CD56 subset in NB.

Nectin2 influences cell apoptosis by regulating ANXA2 expression in neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system and represents the most frequent solid malignancy in infants. Nectin2 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and has been shown to play a role in tumorigenesis. In the current study, we demonstrate that serum Nectin2 level is increased in NB patients compared with that in healthy controls and Nectin2 level is correlated with neuroblastoma international neuroblastoma staging system (INSS) classification.
