background: understanding the differences in genetics of malignancies is crucial for therapeutic decisions. this systematic review was conducted to evaluate the current evidence on genetics of bone tumors in the context of pediatric cancer. material and methods: we performed a systematic review of the literature published on genetics of pediatrics bone tumors, using pubmed, google scholar, scie...

Background: In this study, we examined the epidemiologic characteristics of childhood brain tumors in patients referred to MAHAK Pediatric Cancer Treatment and Research Center (one of the main national referral centers for childhood malignancies in Iran) for treatment. Materials and Methods: This cohort (simple sampling) study consisted of 198 children less than 15 year old with CNS tumor ref...

background: central nervous system (cns) tumors have accounted for approximately one fourth of all pediatric malignancies. cns tumors have been the most common solid malignancies among the children. in this study, we have evaluated survival and prognostic factors in children with non-brain stem astrocytoma. methods: children with non-brain stem astrocytoma, referring to radiation oncology cente...

Conventional anatomic brain MRI is often limited in evaluating pediatric brain tumors, the most common solid tumors and a leading cause of death in children. Advanced brain MRI techniques have great potential to improve diagnostic performance in children with brain tumors and overcome diagnostic pitfalls resulting from diverse tumor pathologies as well as nonspecific or overlapped imaging findi...

Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and are also a leading culprit of cancer-related fatalities in children. Pediatric brain tumors remain hard to treat. In this study, we demonstrated that medulloblastoma, pediatric glioblastoma, and atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors express significant levels of acid ceramidase, where levels are highest in the radioresistant tu...

CONTEXT The prevalence of brain tumors in the pediatric population differs from that in the adult population. Similarly, the frequency and location of the different histologic types of brain tumors vary significantly between the pediatric and adult populations. OBJECTIVE To familiarize the pathologist with the pediatric brain tumors encountered during intraoperative consultation and with the ...
