Abstract: children and adults. Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of adolescent malignant solid tumors in multiple centers in Beijing. Design:Cross-sectional survey. Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis of adolescents over the age of 120 months with the initial diagnosis of malignant solid tumors in seven hospitals in Beijing from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. Main outcome measures:Three-year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Results:A total of 411 patients were enrolled in this study with a median age of 150 months (120-216 months). In total, 239 patients(58.2%) were males and 172(41.8%) were females. There were 183 patients(44.5%) with central nervous system tumors, 82(20%) with Ewing sarcoma, 47(11.4%) with rhabdomyosarcoma, 33(8%) with neuroblastoma, 29(7.1%) with non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas, 18(4.4%) with extracranial germ cell tumors and 19(4.6%) with other rare tumors. Among the 411 patients, the top three regions of registered residence were North China(160 cases, 38.9%), East China(97 cases, 23.6%) , South Central China(70 cases, 17%). There were 129 patients(31.4%) treated at one hospital, 180 patients(43.8%) at two hospitals, and 102 patients (24.8%) at three or more hospitals. The median follow-up time of 411 patients was 26 months(1-120 months). At the end of follow-up, 333 patients (81.0%) survived, 78 patients(19%) died, and 145 patients(35.3%) had tumor relapse or progression. The 3-year EFS rate was 60.3%, and the 3-year OS rate was 79.5%. The median survival time of 78 cases of death was 13 months(1-65 months), including 22 patients(28.2%) with central nervous system tumors, 18(23.1%) with rhabdomyosarcoma, 16(20.5%) with Ewing sarcoma, 8(10.3%) with neuroblastoma, 3(3.8%) with extracranial malignant germ cell tumors, 5(6.4%) with non-rhabdomyomatous soft tissue sarcomas and 6(7.7%) with rare tumors. Conclusion:Center nervous system tumors are the most common malignant solid tumors in adolescents. The prognosis of neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and extracranial malignant germ cell tumor in adolescents is poor.
