Nutritional status at diagnosis of children with malignancies in Casablanca.

Oct 2008 INTRODUCTION: Nutritional assessment is an essential component of the initial assessment of children with cancer. Malnutrition may be present at diagnosis due to the effects of the malignancy or, in low income countries... Read more...

Parental perceptions of being told their child has cancer.

Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Finding out that your child has cancer is a devastating experience. How this information is communicated can have a lasting impression on parents receiving the news. The purpose of this study was to assess... Read more...

Inherited thrombophilic factors do not increase central venous catheter blockage in children with malignancy.

Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Central venous catheter (CVC) blockage is a common complication in pediatric oncology patients. We investigated whether inherited thrombophilic factors may predispose Chinese children with cancer to CVC... Read more...
