yields are between 50% and 90%, a wide range that is influenced by the age at diagnosis, metastasis and histologic variants of the medulloblastoma of each patient. However, despite the long-term survival achieved with current treatments, the neurologic, endocrinologic and cognitive effects are still a great concern in the treatment of medulloblastoma.
299:
Metastases of this cancer type is not usually reported, and the treatment for this disease often includes full tumor resection along with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy, as well as integrin signaling pathways inhibitors are also useful for its treatment, and the prognosis depends on the

The incidence has increased over the last three decades, and the risk of developing HBL has been demonstrated to be higher for premature babies with a birth weight of less than 1 kilo. The fact that the survival rate for premature babies has increased might also account for the rise in HBL incidence.
263:
Pleuropulmonary blastoma is one of the three sub-types of these tumors, which include pulmonary blastoma, fetal adenocarcinoma and pleuropulmonary blastoma. Pleuropulmonary blastomas are characterized by the proliferation of malignant immature mesenchymal cells, constituted by two main histological
215:
The name of this tumor type comes from the man who first described it in 1899, the German physician Dr. Max Wilms. Although the cause for the development of this tumor is still not fully understood, it is hypothesized that it is caused by genetic mutation that alter the embryological development of

Glioblastoma multiforme is a form of malignant, grade IV tumor of the central nervous system. Most of diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme cases (around 90% are in fact primary gliomas) arise from normal glial cells by following a multistep oncogenesis process. The remainder are originated from lower

Retinoblastoma is a rare form of eye neoplasm (found in the retina) that is mostly found in children, being the most common intraocular malignancy of infancy and childhood. The incidence is of one case per every 15,000 to 20,000 live births, and some of the most common symptoms of this disease are
230:
About 15% of all cancer-related deaths in the pediatric age group are related to this disease, with incidence of around 10.2 cases per million children younger than 15 years old and 500 new cases reported every year. 90% of these cases are diagnosed before 5 years of age, but 30% of them are found
200:
Mortality during the first few years after diagnosis is around 15%, although current therapeutic approaches have reached cure rates of up to 60%. The most common forms of therapy are surgical resection, aided by radiation and chemotherapy (before or after surgery), and the survival rates that this

Hepatoblastoma (HBL) is the first and most common malignancy in children, often diagnosed during the first 3 years of life. In most cases, HBL is a sporadic pathology, although it has been sometimes associated with specific genetic abnormalities such as the
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and familial
279:
About sixty percent of cases are unilateral and rarely hereditary, although the remaining 40% where cases are either bilateral or multifocal are always related to hereditary mutations. Hereditary retinoblastoma is related to mutations in the RB1 gene, which not only increase the probability of

The degree of differentiation of neuroblastoma is correlated to the prognosis, with a wide variety of outcomes (from tumor regression to recurrence and mortality). The standard of care is the use of chemotherapy, surgical resection and radiation, although most aggressive neuroblastomas have
247:
The usual signs and symptoms for this disease are an abnormal abdominal mass, along with abdominal pain or obstructive jaundice, but these symptoms are not necessarily specific for pancreatoblastoma and make the diagnosis a more complicated process (no standardised guidelines).
251:
The aggressiveness of the tumors, biologically speaking, makes them often unresectable at the age of diagnosis, therefore requiring other forms of therapy to help shrink the tumor instead of completely resecting it. Surgical intervention is possible in more localized cases.
295:
Glioblastoma has been linked to certain genetic alterations and deregulations, but it mostly occurs spontaneously and its progression is associated with deregulation of the G1/S checkpoints, as well as other genetic abnormalities commonly associated with tumor cells.
243:
Pancreatoblastoma is a rare form of neoplasia that develops mostly in pediatric patients. This type of malignant neoplasm mimics pancreatic development at 7 weeks of gestation and tends to affect, most commonly, young male children.
128:, a practitioner may go directly into treatment. However, in the case of rarer, more-genetically-linked blastomas, practitioners may karyotype the patient before proceeding with treatment. Some examples of blastomas are

within the first year of life. The median age for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma is 22 months, being rare in adolescence and adulthood but showing poor prognosis when it does present in those age groups.

In particular, medulloblastoma is the most common of them, and constitutes about 20% of all the malignant pediatric brain tumors, classified as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the cerebellum.

the genitourinary tract, and some of the genetic markers that have been associated with this process are WT1, CTNNB1, and WTX, which are found in around one third of reported Wilms tumors.
185:
The most important clinical marker for HBL is serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), except in the case of some rare variants of HBL and hepatocellular carcinoma that exhibit lower AFP levels.
212:
Nephroblastoma is also the fourth most common pediatric cancer form, and the most common pediatric abdominal cancer, typically diagnosed in children from zero to five years old.
283:
Chemotherapy, cryotherapy and brachytherapy are common forms of treatment along with laser, and the prognosis is now excellent for most forms of retinoblastoma.
267:
The symptoms for this disease are non-specific, and radiologic features are not enough to give a definitive diagnosis and instead require histological analysis.

219:
There are other genetic markers that have been related to this disease, such as TP53 and MYNC, where TP53 correlates to an overall poorer prognosis.
182:
The most common signs for diagnosis are abdominal distention and discomfort, generalized fatigue, loss of appetite and secondary anemia.

The most common form of extra-cranial solid tumor in children is neuroblastoma, which represents 8% to 10% of all childhood tumors.
