- W2016803105 abstract "Six hundred and ten children aged under 16 years with intracranial tumors were referred for radiotherapy between 1950 and 1981: 579 were new cases and 31 had recurrent disease after primary treatment elsewhere. Radiotherapy was completed in 93% of all cases. The actuarial survival rate for all new cases was 53% at 5 years, 46% at 10 years, 40% at 20 years, and 39% at 30 years. The oldest children (10-15 years) had the best survival and the youngest (0-2 years) had the worst survival. Children treated with megavoltage x-ray equipment (1970 to 1981) had a significantly greater survival than those treated with orthovoltage X rays (1950-1969). Overall, a direct correlation was found between survival and maximum radiotherapy dose. Children having a total excision of the tumor prior to radiotherapy showed a greater survival than those treated by a subtotal or partial tumor removal. Children treated by radiotherapy alone had a survival comparable to those treated by sub-total excision and radiotherapy. There is a striking difference in survival expectation depending on initial functional category (I to III). The overall survival rates of 428 children completing treatment for glioma were 49% at 5 years, 43% at 10 years, and 40% at 15 years. The results according to certain specific tumor sites within the cerebral hemispheres are reported. Age is an important prognostic factor in low grade and also high grade astrocytomas, children having longer survivals than adults. Sub-total or partial excision of craniopharyngiomas combined with radical radiotherapy appears to give the best long-term results. Of 73 new cases, the 5-, 10-, and and 15-year survival rates were 92%, 84%, and 79%. Recurrent craniopharyngiomas treated by surgery alone can be salvaged by further conservative surgery and radical radiotherapy. Optic gliomas are slow growing low grade astrocytomas. Survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years for 20 children with mostly chiasmal lesions were 89%, 89%, and 78%, respectively. In 73 children with brain stem tumors, 17% remained alive for up to 15 years. The risk of CNS seeding from intracranial ependymomas depends on site of origin and grade of malignancy, with 50% incidence occurring in cases with high grade lesions situated in the posterior fossa. Survivals at 5, 10, and 15 years in 51 children were 51%, 40%, and 31%. Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
