title: [Malignant solid tumors in children].
abstract: The outcome of malignant solid tumours in children has clearly improved during the last 20 years, as a result of more precise diagnosis and assessment of tumour spread, more intensive combination treatment including pre- and postoperative chemotherapy as well as improved surgical and anesthesia techniques, radiotherapy and supportive care. This review describes newer diagnosis and treatment methods for the different types of solid tumours in children. Lastly, the actual strategies for further improvement, with focus on late effects of therapy, are presented.
