| Abstract: | Solid tumors outside of the central nervous system present interesting challenges to the pediatric intensivist. In this chapter uncommon, but life-threatening, clinical circumstances will be described - particularly as they relate to solid tumors in the chest. Children with anterior mediastinal masses require a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach to ensure safe diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the management of less common solid tumors such as neuroblastoma and desmoplastic small round blue cell tumors provides some insight into the use of innovative treatment strategies that may become more prevalent in the coming years. Finally, care strategies geared toward early recovery after surgery are integral to the care of patients with solid tumors requiring surgical resection and are increasingly employed in pediatric intensive care units. These strategies are integral to the overall management plan for patients with solid tumors. © Springer International Publishing 2019. |
