Clinical Significance of Serum Biomarkers in Pediatric Solid Mediastinal and Abdominal Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between infancy and age 15. Despite successes in treating solid tumors such as Wilms tumor, disappointments in the outcomes of high-risk solid tumors like neuroblastoma have precipitated efforts towards the early and accurate detection of these malignancies. This review summarizes available solid tumor serum biomarkers with a special focus on mediastinal and abdominal cancers in children.

Malignancy is one of the most frequent cause of death in children -in U.S. it is the second common cause (second to Tranma). Between childhood malignancy leukemia is by far the mO'st frequent one and C.N.S. tumors take the second place -abdominal tumor remain the third common cause of children's malignancy -Retroperitoneal space with organs like, kidney, adrenal gland, sympatheti nervous syste...
متن کاملBiomarkers of Pediatric Brain Tumors
UNLABELLED Background and Need for Novel Biomarkers: Brain tumors are the leading cause of death by solid tumors in children. Although improvements have been made in their radiological detection and treatment, our capacity to promptly diagnose pediatric brain tumors in their early stages remains limited. This contrasts several other cancers where serum biomarkers such as cancer antigen (CA) 19-...

Glioblastoma multiform(GBM) is the most prevalent primary brain tumor. Exosomes are extracellular vehicles for exchanging information between various cell types including cancer and normal cells. Exosomes are indicative of pathophysiological conditions of brain tumors that could be used in diagnosis and prognosis of GBM. In tumors, exosomes could carry various molecules like several miRNAs and ...

Background: Regarding the significance of abdominal masses in children, we aimed to identify the pathology of masses according to the age and sex groups. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed pathological reports of 461 patients with abdominal mass that underwent resection or biopsy during the study period (25 years). Results: One hundred and eighty six cases (40%) were non-neo...
متن کاملSolid tumors of childhood display specific serum microRNA profiles.
BACKGROUND Serum biomarkers for diagnosis and risk stratification of childhood solid tumors would improve the accuracy/timeliness of diagnosis and reduce the need for invasive biopsies. We hypothesized that differential expression and/or release of microRNAs (miRNAs) by such tumors may be detected as altered serum miRNA profiles. METHODS We undertook global quantitative reverse transcription ...
