This book was released on 1996 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sets out a revised international standard system for the classification of childhood cancer based on morphology. The 1996 edition has been revised to reflect changes in the second edition of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O-2) and the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) which introduced a new and expanded coding for cancer. The book opens with a general introduction to the new classification, emphasizing differences from previous classifications and the reasons why specific changes were introduced. This is followed by an explanation of the two, Child-check, computer programs, included with the book, for conversion from ICD-O-1 to ICD-O-2, and from ICD-O-2 to the current International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC). The programs help users to improve the quality and comparability of childhood cancer data and to automate the scrutiny procedures as far as possible. Also provided are instructions for installing and running the programs, and a key to the content of output files. The main part of the book consists of a tabulation of the complete classification rules, followed by a conversion table for ICCC and the Birch and Marsden classification introduced in 1987. A series of tables indicating acceptable morphology and site combinations concludes the classification.

Download or read book Epidemiology of Childhood Cancer written by Julian Little and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is the second commonest cause of death, after accidents, among children in developed countries, while in developing countries, improvements in the control of communicable diseases and the occurrence of premature delivery may lead to the emergence of cancer in children as a greater public health problem than in the past. The rationale for considering childhood cancers separately from cancers in adults in that there are differences in the sites of occurrence, in the histological appearance and in their clinical behavior. This book reviews the epidemiology of specific types of childhood cancer to mid-1997. The scale of the problem is first reviewed in a major compilation of data on the descriptive epidemiology of childhood cancer, then separate chapters describe studies of the different postulated causal factors and summarize what can be concluded from them.
Download or read book International Classification of Diseases for Oncology written by April G. Fritz and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2000 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of ICD-O, the standard tool for coding diagnoses of neoplasms in tumour and cancer registrars and in pathology laboratories, has been developed by a working party convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer / WHO. ICD-O is a dual classification with coding systems for both topography and morphology. The book has five main sections. The first provides general instructions for using the coding systems and gives rules for their implementation in tumour registries and pathology laboratories. Section two includes the numerical list of topography codes, which remain unchanged from the previous edition. The numerical list of morphology codes is presented in the next section, which introduces several new terms and includes considerable revisions of the non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukaemia sections, based on the WHO Classification of Hematopoietic and Lympoid Diseases. The five-digit morphology codes allow identification of a tumour or cell type by histology, behaviour, and grade. Revisions in the morphology section were made in consultation with a large number of experts and were finalised after field-testing in cancer registries around the world. The alphabetical index gives codes for both topography and morphology and includes selected tumour-like lesions and conditions. A guide to differences in morphology codes between the second and third editions is provided in the final section, which includes lists of all new code numbers, new terms and synonyms added to existing code definitions, terms that changed morphology code, terms for conditions now considered malignant, deleted terms, and terms that changed behaviour code.

Download or read book Childhood Cancer and Functional Impacts Across the Care Continuum written by National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the survival rate in children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer has steadily improved, with a corresponding decline in the cancer-specific death rate. Although the improvements in survival are encouraging, they have come at the cost of acute, chronic, and late adverse effects precipitated by the toxicities associated with the individual or combined use of different types of treatment (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy). In some cases, the impairments resulting from cancer and its treatment are severe enough to qualify a child for U.S. Social Security Administration disability benefits. At the request of Social Security Administration, Childhood Cancer and Functional Impacts Across the Care Continuum provides current information and findings and conclusions regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of selected childhood cancers, including different types of malignant solid tumors, and the effect of those cancers on childrenâ (TM)s health and functional capacity, including the relative levels of functional limitation typically associated with the cancers and their treatment. This report also provides a summary of selected treatments currently being studied in clinical trials and identifies any limitations on the availability of these treatments, such as whether treatments are available only in certain geographic areas.

Download or read book International Incidence of Childhood Cancer written by International Agency for Research on Cancer and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1988 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Agency for Research on Cancer has a long experience in the compilation and analysis of data on the incidence of cancer in different parts of the world. This activity has been extended by the publication of the present volume, which brings together information on the incidence of cancer in children from over fifty countries. It represents the most extensive collection of such data ever published. The data are presented in a readily accessible format for making useful comparisons. A special classification system is employed, based upon the cellular origin of the tumors. This is more relevant than the traditional classification by anatomical site, since it is generally acknowledged that genetic susceptibility of particular cell types plays a more important role in the etiology of childhood cancers than in adults. The geographic and ethnic variations in the risk of different cancers are an invaluable resource for workers interested in formulating and confirming hypotheses concerning the causes of childhood cancer.

Download or read book Childhood Cancer in Britain written by Charles Stiller and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-02-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is diagnosed in about 140 per million children in Britain each year. There is a 1 in 500 chance that a child will be affected in the first 15 years of life, the most frequently occurring types of cancer being leukaemia and brain tumours. This book covers the descriptive epidemiology of childhood cancer in Britain, based on the unique work of the National Registry of Childhood Tumours, the largest population-based specialist childhood cancer registry in the world. The book provides a detailed account of national incidence and survival rates for childhood cancer in Britain during 1991-2000, and trends during 1966-2000. There is also an account of childhood mortality for the period 1965-2004. The diagnoses are classified throughout according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer, the first time the third edition of this standard classification has been used for prevalence of incidence, survival and mortality data. The chapter on incidence rates is relevant to planning of health service provision and design of research studies on aetiology, whilst the chapter on trends in incidence is relevant to the possible effects of changes in environmental and other risk factors. In addition to comprehensive tables of rates, age-incidence graphs are provided for all the major types of childhood cancer, and possible artefacts are also discussed. The survival data demonstrates how clinical progress over the past 40 years has led to a major increase in the number of cancer survivors. The role of the Registry, covering history, methodology, current and future uses, is also discussed. This definitive work is the culmination of decades of epidemiological research and is essential reading for anyone involved in paediatric oncology or cancer epidemiology.
