Der primitive neuroektodermale Tumor

Abstract: The primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a rare soft tissue neoplasm occurring in children and young adults. It derives from a carcinogeneic alteration of pluripotent neural crest cells, caused by a balanced reciprocal translocation t(11;22) (q24;q12). Treatment of this undifferentiated, extremely malignant small cell tumor is carried out in compliance with the soft tissue trail (CWS) from the German Society of Pediatric Oncology. Biopsy-proven diagnosis is followed by primary chemotherapy, which in 95% of cases… Show more

“…In 1992, Sarkar [10] published that preoperative chemotherapy is only necessary for down-staging of primarily non-resectable tumors. Today, all patients receive a preoperative chemotherapy [16], because 95 % of all patients demonstrate a remission. Furthermore, Sawin [17] proved that preoperative chemotherapy not only reduced tumor volume (from 705,4 to 91,1 cm 3 ), but also prolonged survival rates.…”

“…Embora o PNET periférico possa surgir em qualquer idade, a faixa etária mais comum é a da adolescência, com medianas que variam de 12 a 15,8 anos 6,7,19 . Em virtude do crescimento rápido do tumor, o tempo para o diagnóstico é curto, em média de 6 semanas 6 .…”

“…Ressecção macroscópica total a menos de 3 meses do diagnóstico aumenta o tempo livre de doença 9 . A QT neoadjuvante, utilizada neste caso, possibilita uma ressecção menos agressiva e pode dificultar a disseminação no intra-operatório 19 . O protocolo da Sociedade Alemã de Oncologia Pediátrica preconiza a utilização de QT neoadjuvante sempre, seguida de ressecção cirúrgica, RT e mais dois ciclos de QT, com resultados pouco mais favoráveis 19 .…”
