Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment response and long-term postoperative complications in children with neuroblastoma (NB) in the pelvic and sacral regions as the primary site.Methods:The clinical characteristics of 16 NB children (8 males and 8 females) with primary pelvic and sacral admitted to the Department of Hematology Oncology Center in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2007 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively with respect to the age at first diagnosis, primary tumor site, tumor size, clinical stage, risk grouping, and other clinical characteristics.The clinical characteristics of the patients who were followed up for regular treatment were analyzed, and the postoperative complications of the patients were summarized, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results:The median age at diagnosis of these 16 children was 23.0 months (5.7-102.0 months), of which 6 cases (37.5%) were younger than 12 months old.All these children received chemotherapy, with a median of 6 (1-8) courses of chemotherapy.Fifteen children received surgical resection of the pelvic tumor, with complete resection in 12 cases (80%). The surgical approach was mainly transabdominal (86.7%, 13/16 cases). The median follow-up time of these children was 33.5 (8-136) months.The patella was absent in 3 patients (18.8%) after the operation, and no permanent neurological damage occurred in all patients.Five-year overall survival (OS) rate was 100%.Conclusions:A single-center summary showed a high survival rate for NB patients in the pelvic and sacral regions.Complete tumor resections combined with chemotherapy could be effective measures and rare cases occurred permanent postoperative neurological complications.
