Abstract

Background: Historically, SPNETs account for 2.5% of childhood CNS tumours and have a poor prognosis.Aim: This project aims to identify factors and trends in survival among children with SPNETs in the North-west region between 1954-2008.Method: Patients who had been diagnosed with SPNETs in the North West Region between years 1954-2008 were extracted from the database in the North West Children’s Tumour Registry. Data relating to presentation, management and survival for these patients were analysed.Results: There were 18 male and 12 female SPNET patients identified (2.1% of the registry total). Median age at diagnosis was 4 years 11 months. By univariate analysis, both chemotherapy (p=0.008) and radiotherapy (p=0.004) improved survival. Median survival improved with time from 6 months to 8 years 4 months between the first and second halves of the cohort (p
