One of the typical presentations of neuroblastoma is intractable diarrhea or wdha (watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, achloridria). The case admitted to our Pediatric Surgery Department presented watery diarrhea due to VIP hyperincretion caused by a stage 1 neuroblastoma, whose ablation allowed a
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Diarrheal NB is quite rare and is not easy to diagnose in the early stage. Six cases of diarrheal NB in our hospital treated from 1996 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed, including characteristics such as electrolyte
BACKGROUND
After resection of advanced abdominal neuroblastoma, children may have persistent postoperative diarrhea. Until recently, the magnitude of this problem had not been appreciated.
METHODS
To assess the incidence, severity, and management of chronic postoperative diarrhea in these patients,
This study evaluated the various growth parameters among patients presenting with chronic diarrhea and highlight the most common causes of chronic diarrhea among a sample of Egyptian infants and children. This cross-sectional study included 146 patients with chronic diarrhea. They were 87 males and
Myeloablative treatment intensification in 25 patients diagnosed when older than 12 months of age with stage IV neuroblastoma included sequential delivery of cisplatin 120 mg/m2 x 1, hyperfractionated radiation (2,100 cGy) to the primary site and adjacent lymph nodes, carmustine (BCNU) 200 mg/m2 x
OBJECTIVE
(131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a targeted radiopharmaceutical with activity in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. Irinotecan is a known radiosensitizer with activity in neuroblastoma. This phase I study aimed to determine the recommended phase 2 dose of MIBG
BACKGROUND
Gefitinib potently inhibits neuroblastoma proliferation in vitro, and the gefitinib/irinotecan combination shows greater than additive activity against neuroblastoma xenografts. This Phase II pilot study estimated the rate of response to two courses of intravenous irinotecan plus oral
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) and the problem of securing the IORT field in advanced pediatric neuroblastoma. Between 1996 and 2005, 12 children received IORT for advanced pediatric neuroblastoma patients. Electron beam energies
BACKGROUND
Clinical presentations of paraneoplastic syndromes in neuroblastoma may multiply. Review of the clinical data and the literature on this syndrome may help in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.
OBJECTIVE
In order to make more accurate diagnosis, we reviewed the clinical data and the
The association of chronic diarrhea with neural-crest tumors is uncommon. In the past 12 years, we encountered three cases of neural-crest tumors presenting initially as chronic diarrhea. The incidence of chronic diarrhea in patients with neural-crest tumors at our hospital during this period was
Neuroblastoma originates in the adrenal medulla or anywhere in the body that sympathetic tissue normally is present. It may present with a variety of symptoms due to primary tumor, metastatic disease, or unusual signs and symptoms such as opsoclonus-myoclonus or severe diarrhea. Despite the fact
A Phase I trial of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose-limiting toxicities, and the incidence and severity of other toxicities in children with advanced neuroblastoma. Three children received 11 courses of CPT-11 administered as a
BACKGROUND
Disseminated neuroblastoma after infancy has a dismal prognosis; long-term survival with conventional therapy occurs in approximately 10% of cases.
METHODS
Between 1985 and 1992, we followed a strategy aimed to achieve remission with an induction combination of intensive chemotherapy,
Neuroblastoma is infrequently associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. Amongst the few, opsomyoclonus (Kinsbourne syndrome) is the most common neurological paraneoplastic syndrome and diarrhea secondary to increased secretion of vasoactive intestinal peptide (Kerner-Morrison syndrome), hormonal
