[Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma of childhood at different sites].

Soft tissue sarcomas occupy the fourth place in the pattern of malignant neoplasms in children. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is more common (about 38%) among various morphological variants of soft tissue sarcomas. The specific features of RMS sites (the head and neck, torso and extremities, viscera, small pelvis, chest, and abdomen, genitalia) determine a diversity of clinical manifestations, as well as diagnostic problems. There are a great deal of diagnostic errors that are as high as 85%. Diagnosing RMS in children should be comprehensive and based on clinical, instrumental, laboratory, X-ray, radionuclide, ultrasonic, and morphological findings.

[Experience in treating Nephroblastomas].

The treatment of nephroblastomas which accounts for 72% of all malignant neoplasms in children is one of the topical problems of pediatric oncology. To detect the tumor at early stages of a tumorous process is one of the main conditions of successful treatment for nephroblastomas. The histological types of nephroblastoma, its international classifications and present-day treatment policy are given. A role of radiation treatment is shown at pre- and postoperative therapeutical stages. Drugs, their combinations, and the efficiency of polychemotherapy regimens in use are outlined. The importance of comprehensive examination of the patient to determine the extent of malignancy and to choose adequate antitumor treatment regimens is emphasized.
