Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of malignant solid tumors in the digestive tract in children and adolescents. Methods Sixty-five children and adolescents with malignant solid tumors in the digestive tract from January 1997 to June 2017 were selected,who were treated at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University/Henan Cancer Hospital. The tumor site,gender,age,clinical presentations,treatment, follow-up time and their life status by deadline follow-up in 65 children and adolescents were collected respectively, and the clinical features,treatment methods and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. The follow-up deadline was on December 31,2017. Results The most frequent sites of tumors were liver tumor(36 cases,55. 38%),followed by rectum tumor(11/65 cases,16. 92%),colon tumor(6/65 cases,9. 23%),pancreas tumor(5/65 cases,7. 69%),gas-tric(3/65 cases,4. 62%),esophagus (1/65 cases,1. 54%),gallbladder tumor (1/65 cases,1. 54%),ileum tumor (1/65 cases,1. 54%),and appendix tumor (1/65 cases,1. 54%). The prevalence rate in males and females was 1. 32:1. 00. The age of embryo tumor incidence was smaller,and the age of epithelium cancer incidence was older. The main symptoms included abdominal distension and pain (66. 15%,43/65 cases). Twenty-seven patients (41. 5%, 27/65 cases)was in stageⅣ. Radical and palliative surgery were the main treatment in 50 cases (76. 92%). The 1-year,3-year,5-year overall survival rates were 60. 7%,31. 0%,18. 8%,respectively. The overall survival rate of co-lon and rectal cancer was higher than that of hepatocellular cancer,and the differences were all statistically significant (χ2＝6. 268,P＝0. 012;χ2＝11. 772,P＝0. 001). The overall survival rate of patients who received surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy was the longest and those undergoing chemotherapy only was the shortest,but the differences had no statistical significance among 4 groups of sheer surgery,chemotherapy alone,surgery combined with chemothera-py and surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy(all P＞0. 05). Conclusion The malignant solid tumors in the di-gestive tract in children and adolescents have a poor prognosis. The unspecific presentation makes the diagnosis diffi-cult. It is very important to diagnose early and treat as soon as possible by the combination of surgery,chemotherapy and radiotherapy to improve the overall survival rate.
