What is Childhood Polar Spongioblastoma?
Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma are tumors in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the brain. Childhood Polar spongioblastoma starts in the cerebrum. The cerebrum, which is at the top of the head, is the largest part of the brain. The cerebrum controls thinking, learning, problem solving, speech, emotions, reading, writing, and voluntary movement. Childhood Polar spongioblastoma are also called cerebral neuroblastomas or cerebral medulloblastomas. Although cancer is rare in children, brain tumors are the most common type of childhood cancer other than leukemia and lymphoma.
Symptoms of Childhood Polar Spongioblastoma
The symptoms of Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma vary and often depend on the child's age, where the tumor is located, and the size of the tumor.
These symptoms may be caused by a Polar spongioblastoma, a pineoblastoma, or by other conditions. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
• Weakness or change in sensation on one side of the body.
• Morning headache or headache that goes away after vomiting.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Seizures.
• Unusual sleepiness or change in energy level.
• Change in personality or behavior.
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain.
Tests that examine the brain and spinal cord are used to detect (find) Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma.
Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma are diagnosed and removed in surgery.
If a brain tumor is suspected, a biopsy is done by removing part of the skull and using a needle to remove a sample of brain tissue. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the doctor will remove as much tumor as safely possible during the same surgery.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options
The prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on:
• Size and spread of the tumor before surgery.
• Cancer cells remaining after surgery.
Average risk
Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma are called average risk if all of the following are true:
• The child is older than 3 years.
• The entire tumor was removed by surgery or there was a very small amount remaining.
• The cancer has not spread to other parts of the brain or body, including the spinal cord.
Poor risk
Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma are called poor risk if any of the following are true:
• The child is younger than 3 years.
• The tumor is near the center of the brain.
• Some of the tumor was not removed by surgery.
• The cancer has spread to other parts of the brain or body, including the spinal cord.
In general, cancer is more likely to recur (come back) in patients in the poor risk group.
Treatment Option for Childhood Polar spongioblastoma
There are different types of treatment for Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma.
Three types of standard treatment are used:
Surgery
Surgery is used to diagnose and treat Childhood Polar spongioblastoma and pineoblastoma.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly in the spinal column, a body cavity such as the abdomen, or an organ, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas. The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
