Abstract:BACKGROUND:Limited data exist on pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors, and the results from the National Cancer Database, the largest multicenter national cancer registry, have not previously been comprehensively reported.OBJECTIVE:To capture pediatric neurosurgical outcomes and investigate possible disparities of care.METHODS:The National Cancer Database was queried for pediatric patients who were diagnosed with CNS tumors from 2004 to 2018. Primary outcomes included 30/90 days postoperative mortalit… Show more
“…We appreciate the thoughtful response to our article by Lu et al, which provides important context for our work and notes additional limitations of the National Cancer Database (NCDB) Analyses. 1,2 We completely agree that future studies with greater granularity would be valuable for improving patient prognostication and care equity. It is important to note that our study was designed as a statistical report intended to outline broad treatment trends and outcomes within the pediatric central nervous system tumor population.…”

“…Os dados também demonstraram as vantagens da ressonância magnética intraoperatória para tumores pediátricos e tumores da fossa posterior. No entanto, faltam dados relativos à ressonância magnética intraoperatória, especialmente para a ressecção de meduloblastomas, mas parece sensato reali-zar imagens intraoperatórias para aumentar a qualidade cirúrgica e a segurança do paciente durante a ressecção do tumor (CHALIF et al, 2023).…”

Com o envelhecimento da população, alterações de hábitos saudáveis e aumento do diagnóstico se espera que tenhamos um aumento no caso de diagnóstico de câncer. Este fato pode permitir diagnósticos precoces, melhorando o desfecho do paciente, ao
“…We read with great interest the recently published article by Chalif et al 1 in which they provide a scoping review of socioeconomic parameters affecting pediatric outcomes for all central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the National Cancer Database (NCDB). The need to better define neurosurgical success in pediatric CNS tumors is crucial to this field, and the authors are commended for addressing this important issue.…”

“…Ultimately, the results of this NCDB study by Chalif et al 1 stoke the fire for more robust data to identify and implement sociodemographically oriented initiatives to homogenize care and outcomes for pediatric patients with CNS tumors. It highlights the need for greater granularity in prospective efforts designed to obtain future data, as currently the ambiguity and paucity of many elements of care affects the generalizability of these results to modern practice.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
