Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there are no European recommendations for the management of pediatric thyroid cancer. Other current international guidelines are not completely concordant. In addition, medical regulations differ between, for instance, the US and Europe. We aimed to develop new, easily accessible national recommendations for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients <18 years of age in the Netherlands as a first step toward a harmonized European Recommendation. METHODS A multidisciplinary working group was formed including pediatric and adult endocrinologists, a pediatric radiologist, a pathologist, endocrine surgeons, pediatric surgeons, pediatric oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, a clinical geneticist and a patient representative. A systematic literature search was conducted for all existing guidelines and review articles for pediatric DTC from 2000 until February 2019. The Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument was used for assessing quality of the articles. All were compared to determine dis- and concordances. The American Thyroid Association (ATA) pediatric guideline 2015 was used as framework to develop specific Dutch recommendations. Discussion points based upon expert opinion and current treatment management of DTC in children in the Netherlands were identified and elaborated. RESULTS Based on the most recent evidence combined with expert opinion, a 2020 Dutch recommendation for pediatric DTC was written and published as an online interactive decision tree (www.oncoguide.nl). CONCLUSION Pediatric DTC requires a multidisciplinary approach. The 2020 Dutch Pediatric DTC Recommendation can be used as a starting point for the development of a collaborative European recommendation for treatment of pediatric DTC.

Abstract
AIM To report 24 years of pre-treatment biopsy and surgical experience in primary liver tumours in children. METHODS Between 1979 and 2003, 53 children presented with a primary liver tumour of whom 48 who underwent surgical resection were evaluated (two died, two were unresectable, and one was transplanted). Biopsy data, per- and post-operative complications, mortality, and survival were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Benign tumours were diagnosed in eight patients. Surgical resection for a malignant tumour was performed in 40 patients (26 hepatoblastomas (HB), eight hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) (four had fibrolamellar HCC), three rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS), one neuroblastoma, one non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and one teratoma). Primary resection was performed in one HB, and four HCCs. The cumulative survival without evidence of disease was 73% for HB (median 7 years) and 88% for HCC (median 3.5 years). CONCLUSION The treatment results are comparable with those of larger international series except for HCC. The existing diagnostic pitfalls in differentiating between the various liver malignancies justify the use of a diagnostic biopsy.

Abstract
In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia there are large interpatient variations in levels of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bax and Bcl-2, but the molecular basis for this variation is unknown. Point-mutations in bax have been reported in cell lines derived from haematological malignancies. Frameshift mutations, which result in reduced Bax levels, have also been found in colon cancer of the microsatellite mutator phenotype. Bcl-2 overexpression, or gain of function mutations in the open reading frame (ORF) or in the translational repressor, the upstream ORF(uORF) of bcl-2, might also be important in deregulating its function or expression. We have therefore analyzed 21 bone marrow aspirates from untreated childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and 2 from myeloid leukaemia for mutations in box and bcl-2. DNA sequence analysis of the ORFs of bax and bcl-2 and of the uORF of bcl-2 revealed no mutations, despite the large range in expression levels. Thus, mutations within the (u)ORFs of bax and bcl-2 that (in)activate or deregulate Bax and Bcl-2 are infrequent in primary childhood acute leukaemia and do not play a major role in regulation of the encoded proteins in this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For T-malignancies in children a poor prognosis is reported. In these malignancies a combination of lymphoma and leukemia is commonly seen at presentation and most patients are treated according to protocols for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These protocols are often designed for the majority of ALL cases, i.e., progenitor-B-ALL. In pediatric lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without bone marrow infiltration various protocols have been used. The most frequently reported regimens show variable survival rates between 40 and 75%. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1989 we have treated 32 consecutive patients with T-cell malignancies, irrespective of localization, with a protocol consisting of a 4-agent induction treatment followed by high doses of methotrexate, and cytosine-arabinoside and intensified bleomycin, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vin cristin, prednisone (BACOP) courses. Treatment duration for each patient was 1 year. Twenty-one of the 32 patients had stage IV disease. Follow-up ranged from 1.6 to 7.6 years (median 4.2 years). RESULTS Overall event-free survival (EFS) was 72%, while in those with stage IV disease it was 67%. No therapy-related deaths occurred. Neither stage, initial leukocyte value, mediastinal involvement, bone marrow involvement, nor the presence of CD1, CD3, CD4, CD8, or CD10 epitopes was prognostically significant. Evaluation of toxicity revealed a minimal decrease of carbon monoxide diffusion and cardiac shortening fraction. CONCLUSION A relatively short but intensive chemotherapy can be used in T-cell malignancies. The EFS is satisfying, but larger studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To minimize the side effects of treatment in children with Hodgkin disease (HD), chemotherapy was given without radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1975 to 1984, 21 patients with HD having lymph nodes < 4 cm were treated with six MOPP courses. From 1984 to 1987, all children presenting with HD (n = 17) were given six ABVD courses. From 1987 to 1993 all children (n = 21) were treated with six alternating ABVD and MOPP courses. RESULTS MOPP-treated children showed an event-free survival (EFS) of 91%, overall survival, 100%; ABVD-treated children had an EFS of 70%, overall survival, 94%; ABVD-MOPP-treated children had an EFS of 91% and an overall survival of 91%. Two cases developed a second malignancy. Toxicity was low. CONCLUSIONS In children, ABVD-MOPP treatment gives a good survival, and toxicity is low. Radiotherapy is not needed to treat HD in children.

Abstract
33 previously untreated advanced stage neuroblastoma patients were treated with [131I]meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG). The number of treatments varied between 2 and 7 per patient (mean 3). Toxicity was seldom severe. Only thrombocytopenia WHO-grade 4 was noticed. Response was documented before surgery for the primary tumour was performed. There was one complete response (CR), 18 partial responses (PR), 11 had stable disease (SD) and 3 had progressive disease (PD). After MIBG therapy and surgery, 12 of 33 patients achieved a CR. This approach is feasible, comparable to multidrug chemotherapy in efficacy and less toxic. Long term results are not known yet.

Abstract
Transition of a (probably primary) cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to T-stem cell leukaemia was observed in a case. Unusual clinical features, histological and laboratory data hampered the diagnosis-making of this rare disease. Using the ALL-BFM 90 HRG protocoll complete remission was achieved. Under the treatment varicella-zoster virus encephalitis took place.

Abstract
This rare disorder characterized by regular periodic oscillations in the number of peripheral neutrophils from normal to neutropenic levels. A case of a fourteen years old boy is presented who developed the disease at age of four years. Neutropenic periods appeared at intervals of 21 days and were associated with recurrent infections--gingivitis, stomatitis, conjunctivitis. The possible mechanism of impaired granulopoiesis and different therapeutic approaches are discussed.

Abstract
The authors found, that the incidence of hypochromic, microcytic anaemia was 4 percent, and more than half of the children were suffered from iron deficiency. The causes are the inadequate daily iron uptake and/or increase iron requirement. It is very important to increase the iron content of the food and/or the prophylactic or therapeutic iron treatment.
