Neonatal Cancer Epidemiology and Outcome: A Retrospective Study

Conclusions: Tumor pattern differs in neonates and infants, with a higher percentage of benign tumors in children below 28 days of life. Yet, long-term therapy-related toxicity is significant in younger patients. Enhancing knowledge of neonatal tumors, their epidemiology, clinical presentation, genetic background, and prognosis should help promote better management and introduce follow-up programs to improve surviving rates and the quality of life of survivors.
