“…This study concerned patients prospectively registered under national cooperative projects dedicated to rare pediatric tumors in Italy (Tumori Rari in Età Pediatrica [TREP]) (n = 43), Poland (Polish Pediatric Rare Tumor Study Group, n = 23), Germany (Seltene Tumorerkrankungen in der Pädiatrie, n = 31), and France (Groupe FRAnCais Des TUmeurs Rares de l'Enfant [FRaCTurE], n = 43). Additional cases were collected from the prospective German Central Malignant Melanoma Registry (CMMR, n = 65) and from a dermatology registry in Israel (n = 14).…”

“…In Germany, pediatric melanoma cases have been collected within the German Central Malignant Melanoma Registry and the German Childhood Cancer Registry for more than 30 years [3]. Additional information on incidence, clinical characteristics and outcome of pediatric melanoma and other rare tumors in children and adolescents was assessed within the Rare Pediatric Tumor Registry (STEP, Seltene Tumorerkrankungen in der Paediatrie) of the German Society for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology (GPOH) launched in 2012 [5].…”

Malignant melanoma (MM) is a common malignancy in adults while it is rare in children. Thus, information on clinical behavior of pediatric MM is incomplete. The German Pediatric Rare Tumor Registry (STEP) presents a prospective analysis of 60 childhood MM cases diagnosed between June 2006 and December 2014. Patients' ages ranged between 0 and 17 years at initial diagnosis (median age 9.6 years). Information on patient's and tumor characteristics was obtained by standardized documentation. Three-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier test. Follow-up ranged from 0 to 116 months with a median of 36.5 months, however, univariate analysis was performed for 46 cases with a follow-up> 3 months, only. Cases with spitzoid histotype (40%) did not show a significantly different outcome compared to cases with non-spitzoid MM. Breslow thickness ≤ 2.00 mm was identified in 30% of the cases and 18% were Clark level I to III. Adjuvant therapy was used in 45% of cases. OS at 3 years was 100%, EFS 95.2%. We present a series of cases with a high number of spitzoid malignant melanoma and advanced pediatric melanoma, but surprisingly good overall survival rates. Spitzoid and non-spitzoid MM do not differ in clinical behavior and survival.

“…Cancer registration provides a firm basis for cancer control efforts and research into changing patterns of incidence, mortality, survival fundamental information in expressing cancer trends (Park et al, 2013;Brecht et al, 2014), interpret cancer causes (Schlesinger et al, 2013), follow-up patients (Sengoku et al, 2014), evaluate survival (Hanna et al, 2010), enhance planning and promote cancer control policies and individual patients care (Parkin, 2006). Continuous efforts have been made to alleviate the risk of various cancerous diseases in the Asian pacific region (Shin et al, 2012).…”

, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL, 9.53%) were found to be the highest in male patients, whereas breast cancer (46.7%), ovary tumors (6.80%), and cervix (6.31%) cancer incidence rates were observed to be the most common in female patients. The age range distribution of diagnosed and treated patients in conjunction with the percentage contribution of cancer patients from 15 different cities of Punjab province treated at the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology, Lahore are also included. Leukemia was found to be the most common cancer for the age group of 1-12 years. It has been identified that the maximum number of diagnosed cases were found in the age range of 51-60 years for males and 41-50 years for female cancer patients. Conclusions: Overall cancer incidence of the thirty years demonstrated that head and neck and breast cancers in males and in females respectively are the most common cancers in Punjab province in Pakistan, at rates almost the highest in Asia, requiring especial attention. The incidence of brain, NHL, and prostate cancers among males and ovarian and cervix cancers among females have increased rapidly. These data from a major population of Punjab province should be helpful for implementation of appropriate planning, prevention and cancer control measures and for determination of risk factors within the country.
