Abstract 44 Purpose: Globally, nurses caring for children and adolescents with cancer work in diverse practice settings. Nurses in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are challenged by the limited scope of their professional practice, resources and education. Opportunities for education, networking and professional growth inspire and empower nurses to improve the care of patients and families. Nurses are key members of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP), which provides ongoing professional development. In 2010, the SIOP Pediatric Oncology in Developing Countries Committee's Nursing Working Group was formed to support and learn from nurses working in LMIC. Methods: Utilizing the Cure4Kids website from St Jude, the group holds monthly business and educational meetings and continues to network and collaborate on numerous projects. PODC Nursing Working Group recently published baseline standards for pediatric oncology nursing care in LMIC. A survey will now assess the implementation of baseline standards. LMIC nurses are being mentored to write abstracts and grants to increase global recognition of their work. In addition, an education repository of teaching materials is being established. Summary: The PODC Nursing Working Group and project groups are well established and achieving project deadlines. Educational programs including topics on abandonment, nursing in LMIC and abstracts have been well received by both nurses and physicians from LMIC and HIC. Challenges have included internet connectivity and scheduling meetings during daylight hours across the multiple time zones. Following the launch of monthly meetings in late 2015, our membership has increased by 20% from 61 to 76 members from 29 countries. Conclusions: The SIOP PODC Nursing Group has created a sustainable nursing community and continues to work collaboratively beyond the annual conference. The compassion and commitment to support patients and their families by providing the best care possible is the common thread for pediatric oncology nurses.

Objetivo: Descrever e revisar sobre o Tumor de Wilms (TW), com ênfase no tratamento cirúrgico e discutir a quimioterapia pré ou pós-cirúrgica e os exames necessários, conforme as diretrizes mais atuais disponíveis. Revisão bibliográfica: O TW é um tumor embrionário derivado dos metanefros, células precursoras do rim. É o tumor renal mais comum na infância e a terceira malignidade pediátrica mais comum. Seu tratamento é essencialmente cirúrgico, podendo ou não contar com quimioterapia, de acordo com os protocolos Children's Oncology Group (COG) e International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP). Critérios radiográficos e patológicos são empregados para avaliar a viabilidade pré-operatória, indicando candidatos apropriados para cada cirurgia. A nefrectomia radical é o tratamento de escolha nos casos de tumor unilateral. Já em casos de tumores bilaterais, opta-se pela nefrectomia parcial associada a técnica da cirurgia poupadora de néfrons, objetivando preservar a função renal. É consenso na literatura que o rastreio e diagnóstico precoce conduz a um melhor prognóstico e reduz morbimortalidade. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que o estudo do TW se faz extremamente necessário, dada sua importância epidemiológica mundial. O desenvolvimento de protocolos como COG e SIOP são de grande valia para o avanço do tratamento desses tumores.

The various presentations of osseous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) make it difficult to distinguish from other bone diseases. In addition, there is no universally accepted protocol for managing osseous LCH for single non-central nervous system-risk lesions. Here, the rare cases of two paediatric patients, aged 1 and 2 years, who presented with a solitary tibial lesion at time of LCH diagnosis, are reported. One patient progressed to multiple lesions after curettage of the original lesion. Subsequently, both patients received preventive chemotherapy using the Taiwan Paediatric Oncology Group (TPOG) revised protocol for treating low risk patients with LCH, namely, TPOG LCH2002-LR. After receiving this treatment, which included a schedule of prednisolone and vincristine for 6 weeks, followed by prednisolone, vincristine and 6-mercaptopurine for a further 48 weeks, both patients are free from recurrence or progression.
