“…Incidence in the four SS administrative regions was also estimated. All rates are reported by 10 6 child/year. To determine prevalence of leukemia subtypes and the stage of solid neoplasms at diagnosis, the complete data base was taken into account.…”

“…As to sex, most studies report a M/F ratio of 1.1-1.3 [1,8,[10][11][12]; only Drut et al [13] in Argentina and McWhirter and Petroeschevsky [23] in Australia found a higher ratio (1.58 and 1.57, respectively). Our data agree with the latter (M/F ratio 1.6) and the difference is basically due to Hodgkin's disease and sympathetic nervous system.…”

“…In general, the rates vary from 100 to 150 (× 10 6 child/year) [8]. In the United States, the incidence is 137 in the white and 121 in the black population [9]; in England, the rate is 109 [8]; in France, 137 [10]; in Italy, 1 141 [8]; in Denmark, 138 [11]; and in Latin American countries, such as Cuba and Argentina, the incidence rates are 91 and 106, respectively [12,13].…”

An increase in neoplasms in Mexican children has been reported. In 1991, the incidence in children from Mexico City (MC) was 70 (× 10 child/year), although this rate might be underestimated. The aim of the present study was to estimate the incidence of malignant neoplasms in children resident in MC attending Social Security (SS) hospitals. This study was a retrospective hospital survey. All records of childhood malignant neoplasms diagnosed between 1992 and 1993 in the two SS hospitals which attend childhood neoplasms in MC were reviewed. Histopathological diagnoses were reevaluated and incidence rates (× 10 child/year) in terms of age, sex, and place of residence were estimated. A total of 667 cases were found for the period of study, of which 199 corresponded to residents of MC. The neoplasms with highest prevalence were leukemias (39.2%), lympho‐mas (17.6%), and central nervous system tumors (12.6%). A general incidence of 94.3 was found, which was highest in children under 5 years of age. Leukemias had an incidence of 36.4, lymphomas of 15.2, and central nervous system tumors of 12.0. Prevalence was higher in boys (male/female ratio of 1.6). As for the place of residence, the highest incidence corresponded to children living in the southern areas of MC. Eighty percent of the leukemias were acute lymphoblastic, while 54% of solid neoplasms were classified as stages III and IV. In conclusion, the incidence of malignant neoplasms in children resident in MC treated at SS hospitals is consistent with that found worldwide, and also with the Latin American pattern. Med. Pediatr.

“…Moreover, this incidence has not varied markedly among various European and North American populations (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1992). Some French and British publications detailed the incidence data according to the type of bone sarcoma (Draper et al, 1982;Bernard et al, 1993). We used a weighted proportion of these data (Draper et al, 1982;Bernard et al, 1993) as reference rates for the incidence of osteosarcoma (excluding Ewing's sarcomas).…”

Radiation dose, chemotherapy and risk of osteosarcoma after solid tumours during childhood

“…Malignant bone tumours are the sixth most common malignant neoplasms in children, accounting for approximately 5% of childhood malignancies (Young and Miller, 1975;Bernard et al, 1993). With the exception of Ewing's sarcoma, other primary flat bone sarcomas (osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and chondrosarcoma) are rare in children and adolescents, and their incidence increases with advancing age (Boland and Huvos, 1986;Goorin et al, 1987;Huvos and Marcove, 1987;Tucker et al, 1987;Young et al, 1990).…”

We analysed the clinical features and outcome of young patients with non-Ewing's flat bone sarcoma treated during the era of contemporary chemotherapy. The characteristics and outcome of 25 patients (15 males and 10 females) with primary or radiationrelated flat bone sarcoma treated in the Pediatrics Department at the Institut Gustave Roussy from 1981 to 1999 were reviewed. In all, 20 patients had osteosarcoma, four chondrosarcoma and one malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The age at diagnosis ranged from 2 to 23 years (median, 15 years). Nine tumours were located in the craniofacial bones, 11 in the pelvis and five in flat bones at other sites. Four patients had metastatic disease at diagnosis. Radiation-associated flat bone osteosarcoma was diagnosed in 10 out of 25 cases. The projected overall survival and event-free survival (EFS) rates at 5 years were 45.1 and 34.3% for all the 25 patients. The EFS rate of patients with second bone sarcoma was similar to that of patients with de novo flat bone sarcoma (P ¼ 0.1). The aim of treatment was curative for 24 patients, 23 of whom were treated with intensive chemotherapy regimens and 19 with surgery. Significant adverse prognostic factors on survival included incomplete surgical resection (P ¼ 0.001) and use of regimens without preand postoperative chemotherapy (P ¼ 0.007). Nine of the 25 patients were treated with pre-and postoperative chemotherapy and complete surgical resection. Among them, eight are alive with no disease. Radical surgical resection is the overriding prognostic factor for flat bone sarcomas in young patients. Nevertheless, our results suggest a more favourable outcome since the advent of intensive chemotherapy.
