“…However, psychological distress in terms of anxiety and depression can be very distressing for the child according to Collins et al [4] . In addition, Schreiber-Gollwitzer et al [17] . recently demonstrated an increase in the frequency and duration of psychosocial treatment depending on the stage of the disease.…”

The present study demonstrated that psychological symptoms (e.g. anxiety) are frequent symptoms in the end-of-life care period and cause severe suffering in the children. Questions in terms of benefits and costs of cancer-directed therapy in the end-of-life care period need to be addressed in future prospective studies. Parents' perspective on their child's death and related end-of-life decisions highlighted the importance of communication between parents and the health care team. Future studies need to investigate potential barriers in the communication between parents and the team to optimise end-of-life decisions and hence, reduce parents' long-term distress. In line with the previous, the present data demonstrated that there is still a lack of routine contact from the health care team following the child's death despite existing guidelines. Research is therefore needed into the implementation of guidelines for routine contact into clinical practice following a child's death.

In Morocco, through the finding of the Casablanca population-based registry, all cancers are estimated at 35000 new cases par year and 3.2% are aged less or equal 20 years [1]. In our centre, we treated patient from Casablanca region and the half south of Morocco and we treated children and adults in the same unit. During ten years (2004-2014), we've irradiated 5510 children that represented 4% of all patients. The most frequent tumour were the CNS tumours (20.7%) followed by lymphoma (20.7%) specially Hodgkin disease in 75% of all lymphoma. The bone sarcoma was noted in 17.9% and the carcinoma and the epithelial tumours were 16%. We needed anaesthesia for the simulation and the treatment (for all the sessions) in 1% of all cases. We started using conformational radiation therapy since 2008. The locally stages were noted in 75% correlated with the delay of diagnosis. All children were treated by the 2 linear accelerators during all the day especially during the morning. The median time to start radiation was more than 1 month in 68% and 12% more than 3 months. We used the SIOP recommendations and all cases were discussed during the multidisciplinary paediatric oncology committee of the hospital. More time was necessary for the treatment planification since the CT simulation, dosimetry and given radiation.

“…The natural urge to move and the restricted realization of little children leads to this necessary. However, in many cases anesthesia can be replaced by a consequent psychological care [10] using methods do reduce fear. The results of this analysis show that new sophisticated treatment techniques in pediatric radiation oncology are only available at few centers and that they have been used in rare situations.…”

Due to quite low patient numbers treated in most radiotherapy facilities, individual experiences in pediatric radiation oncology can be assumed to be quite limited. As radiotherapy is part of multimodal therapy approaches in pediatric oncology and children treated with radiotherapy are at special risk for potential side effects, pediatric radiation oncology remains a sophisticated area. Therefore radiotherapy reference-institutions implemented by the therapy optimizing protocols are of fundamental importance.
