[Neoplasms during the 1st year of life: a study of 116 cases treated during the last 10 years].
116 infants under one year of age (14 per 100) with malignancies including 35 neuroblastomas, 23 retinoblastomas, 14 Wilm's tumours, 10 hepatoblastomas, 10 brain tumours, 9 germ cell tumours, 8 histiocytic and 7 soft tissue sarcomas, were treated in the last ten years. Hepatoblastoma is the highest relative incidence tumor in the first year of life and with brain tumours has the worst prognosis (50 and 40 per 100, respectively). The disease-free survival rate is most than 80 per 100 in neuro and nephroblastoma with medical and surgical treatment. Familiar incidence in Wilm's tumor is 42 per 100 and chemotherapy side effects are 23 per 100. Familiar incidence in neuroblastoma is 20 per 100 and chemotherapy side effects 21 per 100. In conclusion, in children with malignancies under one year of age have good prognosis (75 per 100 survival at five years), with lower surgical complications rate. Early diagnosis and response to chemotherapy, the side effects of which are considerable and should be strictly controlled, are key factors in the better prognosis and increased life expectancy in this group of patients.
