Abstract:   (629 Views)
Background: The principle of treatment of pediatric tumors is to kill tumors to the greatest extent and improve long-term quality of life through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other means combined according to the specific disease and pathological type. Radiotherapy is an important means for the treatment of pediatric tumors. With the development of radiotherapy technology, it plays an increasingly important role in clinical work. This paper briefly summarizes the characteristics of radiotherapy in pediatric tumors and introduces the application of radiotherapy in some major pediatric tumors. Materials and Methods: Relevant articles published in the PubMed database between 2010 and 2022 were searched. The researchers then looked at the data one by one and looked at the citation, which was their reference at the end of each paper. Inclusion criteria were, articles describing radiation therapy for pediatric tumors; experimental and clinical studies of different radioactive means; and standard methods and rigorous thinking. Exclusion criteria were, meta-analysis article; the literature was published before 2010. Results: In this paper, radiation therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, glioma, Wilms's tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma is summarized and their characteristic radiation conditions are analyzed. Conclusions: Radiotherapy for children with tumors should not blindly pursue high-dose radiotherapy, but the combination of different therapeutic methods should be adopted to achieve the purpose of tumor treatment and minimize the impact on the growth and quality of life of patients.
Keywords: Children, tumor, radiotherapy, treatment, research progress.
