- Abstract
The importance of prognostic factors in predicting outcome in pediatric oncology is largely recognized, and most current protocols tailor treatment based on risk stratification. Further refinements of classical staging systems are ongoing, and the future of pediatric oncology is in the development of strategies based on individual tumor characteristics. This review details significant advances in our understanding of prognostic factors in the most common pediatric solid tumors and potential applications for clinical management.
