Pediatric Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Guide

This patient presents with fatigue, recurrent nosebleeds, low hemoglobin and platelet levels, and high white blood cell count. The diagnosis is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The next step investigations are a bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture of cerebrospinal fluid. A separate patient presents with an abdominal mass and raccoon eyes, indicating a diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Important investigations include imaging with ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans, testing urinary catecholamines, and performing a biopsy. The two most important factors in determining prognosis are the patient's age and cancer stage. The main treatments are chemotherapy, which is primary for advanced cases, and surgery.
