Purpose Annually, 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer, and the majority of these children live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Currently, there is incomplete information on pediatric cancer incidence, diagnosis distribution, and treatment outcomes in Africa. Since 2007, a pediatric hematology-oncology program has been operating in Botswana through a partnership between the Botswana government, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas Children’s Hospital. Methods To better understand patient characteristics and outcomes at Botswana’s only pediatric cancer program, a hospital-based data base—the Botswana Pediatric Oncology Database—was established in 2014. Children younger than 18 years of age at the time of diagnosis who presented between 2008 and 2015 were included. Data for this study were extracted in February 2016. Results Of the 240 potential enrollees, 185 (77%) children met eligibility for this study. The median age was 6.4 years, and 50.8% were male. Leukemia was the most common malignancy representing 18.9% of the cohort and 88.1% of the total cohort had a histopathologic diagnosis. HIV seropositivity was confirmed in 13.5%. The 2-year overall survival of all pediatric cancer diagnoses was 52.4%. Abandonment of treatment occurred in 3.8% of patients. Conclusion In the first 9 years of the program, capacity has been developed through a longstanding partnership between Botswana and Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Hospital that has led to children receiving care for cancer and blood disorders. Although continued improvements are necessary, outcomes to date indicate that children with cancer in Botswana can be successfully diagnosed and treated.

NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF NEW CANCER PATIENTS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD AT NATIONAL CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL Objective: Evaluation nutritional statusamong new cancer patients under 5 years old. Methods: Descriptive, prospective study from September 2016 toSeptember 2017 at the Oncology department, National Children’s Hospital. Results: there were 170 new cases with cancer under 5 years old.The prevanlence of underweight malnutrionwas 22.4% (moderate 20%, severe 2.4%). The prevanlence of stunting malnutrion was12.4% (moderate 11.8%, severe 0.6%). The prevanlence of wasting malnutrion was 17.6% (modarate 12.4%, severe 5.3%).The prevanlence of malnutrion according to middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) was 10.9%. The prevanlence of overweight by weight/height index was 4.1%. The prevanlence of malnutrion according to serum albumin was 29% and serum protein was 20%. There was not any differences in underweight status between the cancer diseases. Conclusions: The prevanlence of malnutrition ranged from 10.9 to 29% of new cancer patients under 5 years old, according toeither anthropometric index orbiochemical profiles, and was not different between solid tumors and acute leukemia. Key words: malnutrition, nutritional status, pediatric cancer

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.
