[Pediatric oncology: unity of science and clinic].
The paper outlines progress made in pediatric oncology in Russia in the past 30 years. Studies dealing with the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant neoplasms in children have revealed great differences in the clinical course of malignant processes in childhood due to anatomic and physiological features of a child's developing organism and to the prevalence of more aggressive and high-grade tumors--sarcomatous and germinogenic. In children, most tumors are congenital. The influence of exogenous and endogenous factors on the mother and the fetus brings about either fetal death, or a neoplastic process of developmental malformations and more frequently their combination.
