Abstract

Accurate staging of nodal involvement in pediatric sarcoma patients is important to determine correct systemic and local therapy, with the goal to reduce subsequent recurrences. However, differences in lymph node staging strategies, definitions, and treatment protocols between the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), European Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG), and the Cooperative Weichteil Sarkom Studiengruppe (CWS), complicate comparisons. In this article we try to establish internationally recognized recommendations for lymph node assessment and treatment of children and adolescents diagnosed with RMS and NRSTS according to the Consensus Conference Standard Operating Procedure methodology.
