Track: Perinatal and Neonatal Oncology

Perinatal and neonatal oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers affecting infants, neonates, and unborn babies. This session explores conditions such as neonatal leukemia, retinoblastoma, neuroblastoma, and other rare cancers that may be diagnosed shortly after birth or during the perinatal period. Advances in early detection techniques, such as genetic screening and imaging, play a key role in identifying cancers at the earliest possible stages. Treatment options, including chemotherapy, surgery, and novel therapies, are discussed with an emphasis on minimizing the long-term impact on a child's development. The session also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes for these young patients.
Neonatal Tumors and Congenital Cancers
Focuses on rare but critical cancers diagnosed at birth or shortly after, such as neuroblastoma, congenital leukemia, and teratomas, exploring early detection, management strategies, and prognosis for affected neonates.
Genetic and Environmental Factors in Perinatal Cancer
Explores the genetic predispositions and environmental factors that contribute to the development of cancers in the perinatal period, including genetic syndromes, prenatal exposures, and maternal health conditions that may affect fetal tumorigenesis.
Prenatal Diagnosis of Neonatal and Perinatal Cancers
Discusses the techniques and advancements in prenatal screening, including ultrasound, genetic testing, and MRI, to detect tumors and malignancies in the fetus and neonate, and the implications of early diagnosis for treatment planning.
Neonatal Leukemia and Hematologic Cancers
Examines the presentation, diagnosis, and management of neonatal leukemia, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and how these conditions differ from childhood leukemia in terms of treatment and prognosis.
Neonatal Neuroblastoma
Focuses on neuroblastoma, one of the most common cancers in neonates, including its clinical presentation, staging, treatment options, and the role of surgery, chemotherapy, and emerging therapies in managing this condition in newborns.
