The text on each slide

Oncology | Expert-to-Expert | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | A 1-year-old with anemia on routine labs and a right-sided abdominal mass. Diagnosis: SCCOHT, the most aggressive ovarian tumor. HIPEC is part of the plan. | DOES IT GO BEFORE CHEMOTHERAPY, OR AFTER? | 1/6
Oncology | Clinical Foundations | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE ANSWER: CHEMOTHERAPY FIRST | THE WINDOW OF CHEMOSENSITIVITY IS SHORT | SCCOHT responds to chemotherapy, but only transiently. | Intensive systemic therapy starts right away, ahead of any further staging or second-look surgery. | 2/6
Oncology | Clinical Foundations | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE SEQUENCE | HIPEC COMES AFTER THE CHEMOTHERAPY | SYSTEMIC CHEMO → CYTO-REDUCTION → HIPEC (CISPLATIN) → STEM CELL RESCUE | Surgery removes what chemotherapy leaves, heated cisplatin treats the peritoneal surfaces, and autologous stem cell rescue follows. | 3/6
Oncology | Clinical Foundations | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | WHAT CHANGES IN A CHILD THIS SMALL | Roshni Dasgupta, MD, MPH | Professor, Director Surgical Oncology, Cincinnati Children's | 4/6
Oncology | Clinical Foundations | Made possible by Cincinnati Children's | THE TAKEAWAY | CHEMOTHERAPY FIRST, WHILE THE WINDOW IS OPEN | HIPEC and stem cell rescue remain an institutional approach in SCCOHT, with limited evidence and wide variation between centers. | Whatever comes next, systemic therapy starts now. | 5/6
