This article introduces Hodgkin lymphoma: common in teens, presents with lymphadenopathy. Chemo/radiotherapy effective, >90% early-stage, >85% high-risk 5-year survival.
This article introduces Pediatric heart tumors: mostly benign (rhabdomyomas, teratomas). Malignant forms rare. Teratomas most common in newborns; tuberous sclerosis linked to fetal tumors.
This article introduces Child APL: t(15;17) causes PML-RARα fusion; treated with ATRA/arsenic; high bleeding risk; >90% survival.
IMT: rare pediatric tumor, often in lungs. Treated surgically; may recur but rarely metastasizes. Targeted therapy effective for genetic mutations.
Inflammatory Myofibroblastoma
This article introduces LCH: rare childhood blood cancer (2-10/million kids). Affects organs; liver/spleen involvement high-risk. Treatment differs from adults.
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
This article introduces Infant hemangiomas: benign 'strawberry' marks, usually self-resolving. Avoid overtreatment; rare cases need early intervention to prevent misdiagnosis delays.
Angeioma
This article introduces Liver: largest regenerative organ, reddish-brown, upper right abdomen. Two main lobes (right larger), two smaller lobes. Weight ratio declines with age.
Tumors of Liver
This article introduces Germ cell tumors arise from embryonic cells, mainly in ovaries/testes (90%). Rarely form in abdomen, pelvis, mediastinum, or brain.
Germinoma
This article introduces Pediatric kidney cancer survivors with bilateral disease/genetic syndromes risk renal dysfunction, electrolyte loss, impaired filtration post-treatment.
Urinary System
This article introduces Young pediatric cancer survivors face higher vision risks post brain radiation/chemo: cataracts, glaucoma, optic damage, orbital deformities, blindness.
The Five Sense Organs
This article introduces Childhood cancer survivors risk lung damage post-treatment. Requires monitoring, tests, healthy habits to manage long-term pulmonary complications.
Respiratory System
This article introduces Pediatric cancers (ALL, lymphomas, sarcomas) treated with TBI pre-transplant risk late effects. Includes kidney/germ cell tumors, ovarian cancers.
Reproductive System
This article introduces Childhood cancer survivors risk bone/joint issues post-treatment (surgery/chemo/radiation). Requires monitoring for symptoms and diagnostic tests for long-term health.
