  1. Dear , Thank you for reaching out to Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) and nationally acclaimed experts of the National Cancer Grid (NCG). Navya is pleased to offer this online expert cancer consultation service for assessing your treatment options. We converted your case reports into a structured summary to be reviewed by a radiation oncologist in the Pediatric Solid Tumour Disease Management Group and an expert medical oncologist in the National Cancer Grid, a consortium of 206 cancer centers with the mandate to standardize cancer care nationally. We asked the following question(s) on your behalf: 1.What is recommended at this time: chemotherapy or an alternate treatment? 2.Is radiation therapy recommended? 3.Is surgery recommended? The TMC NCG Navya opinion is summarized as follows: 1.Chemotherapy either with Cyclophosphamide and Topotecan or Irinotecan and Temozolomide is recommended at this time. 2.After completing the recommended (usually 2 to 4 cycles) chemotherapy with Cyclophosphamide and Topotecan or Irinotecan and Temozolomide, assessment of response (i.e. whether the tumor(s)/lesion(s) in the body have decreased/not increased/increased) with ultrasound/CT/MRI scans with oral and iv contrast or PET CT scan is recommended. 3.If assessment of response shows complete response (i.e. absence of residual disease), radiation therapy to the lungs may be considered. 4.However, if it shows residual tumor (i.e. any presence of cancer cells/lesion(s) that remain after therapy such as surgery or chemotherapy), treating oncologist to assess feasibility and operability (i.e. treatable by surgical operation with a reasonable degree of safety and chance of success) with Metastasectomy (i.e. surgical removal of metastases, i.e. presence of cancer cells/lesions or tumours in lungs) is recommended. 5.If the assessment of response shows not favourable/ inadequate response/ progression (i.e. development of new cancer cells/lesion(s) or increase in size of existing lesion(s)/tumor(s) anywhere in the body, including the primary organ) then symptomatic treatment (i.e. therapy that eases symptoms such as pain, discomfort, etc) and supportive care (i.e. treatment given to prevent, control, or relieve complications and side effects and to improve comfort and quality of This TMC NCG Online Expert Opinion Service, and Navya Network Inc., does not diagnose, treat, give orders, or have the ultimate Page 1 authority over the care of any individuals.

  2. life) is recommended at this time. The treating oncologists and physicians are best suited to determine the specifics of symptomatic treatment and best supportive care. We hope that the expert opinion is helpful in determining the course of your treatment. Please discuss this opinion with your treating oncologist(s). Navya Evidence and Experience Engine is used to assess treatment options derived from clinical trials that pertain to your specific medical history and tumor characteristics as well as analysis of tumor board decisions of patients similar to you treated at internationally renowned tertiary care expert centers. Navya, who provides cancer online consultation, is pleased to provide the following information on treatment recommendation(s) per the Navya Evidence Engine, which includes the globally accepted guidelines for the treatment of cancers by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN); and the Navya Experience Engine based on the collective experience of experts at Tata Memorial Center and the National Cancer Grid. 1.Chemotherapy with either one of the following regimens is recommended: a.Cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m2, and Topotecan 0.75 mg/m2 daily for five days is recommended, along with Filgrastim 5 ug/kg. OR b.Irinotecan 10 to 20 mg/m2 from day one to day five, and day eight to day 12, and Temozolomide orally 100 mg/m2 from day one to day five, every three to four weeks (i.e. in a 21 to 28 day cycle). 2.If there is complete response, then radiation therapy to the lungs at a dosage of 18 Gy is recommended. 3.However, if there is residual disease, assessment for feasibility for Metastasectomy followed by radiation therapy to the lungs at a dosage of 18 Gy can be considered. Navya is pleased to provide additional information on symptomatic and supportive care. Supportive care focuses on managing the symptoms and offering as much comfort as possible. Disciplines required for the spectrum of palliative care needs of the child and family typically include a clinician, social worker, child life specialist, and religious or spiritual counsellor. Interdisciplinary teams can help ensure that the emotional, spiritual, physical, and practical needs of children and families are identified and met. ●Psychosocial − Social workers provide psychosocial assessment and supportive counseling for the child and family, and identify community services. This TMC NCG Online Expert Opinion Service, and Navya Network Inc., does not diagnose, treat, give orders, or have the ultimate Page 2 authority over the care of any individuals.

  3. ●Emotional − Child life specialists provide skills in facilitating "communication" with children through activities that assist with emotional distress, and can provide important understanding into the fears and wishes of the child. ●Spiritual − Religious/ spiritual counsellor support faith traditions and spiritual values that can comfort families as they face uncertainty, changes in medical status, loss, or grief, and promote hope and emotional healing. ●Physical − Clinicians can bring expertise in symptom management. It is always important to remember that physical symptoms improve with attention to each of the other three domains. Palliative care clinicians also can serve as facilitators between other healthcare providers and families, and can help coordinate medical care. Symptoms that may be expected and commonly used treatments that may be prescribed by treating oncologist(s) include the following: 1.Pain- Pain management varies depending upon the type, source, severity, and duration of pain. Mild pain can generally be adequately treated with acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Moderate to severe pain is generally treated with opioid agents (eg, morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, methadone). The choice of opioid is dependent upon the intensity and duration of pain, preferred mode of administration, associated adverse effects, previous experience (if available), and preference of the patient and family. Oral analgesics should be used when possible to avoid painful routes of administration 2.Shortness of breath (Dyspnea)- Treating dyspnea is typically focused on identifying and treating the underlying cause. Causes of dyspnea include pulmonary disease (eg, pneumonia and primary interstitial disease), anemia, airway obstruction from tumor, and heart failure from cardiac disease. Opioids are the primary medical therapy used to alleviate persistent dyspnea despite maximal medical treatment of identified causes. Other useful interventions include a trial of oxygen, cool air from a fan or open window directed at the face, repositioning, hypnosis or other relaxation techniques, and lorazepam for associated anxiety. 3.Nausea and Vomiting- Medications can cause nausea, and it may be necessary to discontinue or replace them. As an example, opioids are a common source of nausea and vomiting, and also cause constipation. Treatment includes rotation of different opioids, prevention of constipation, and the use of dopamine receptor antagonists such as This TMC NCG Online Expert Opinion Service, and Navya Network Inc., does not diagnose, treat, give orders, or have the ultimate Page 3 authority over the care of any individuals.

  4. Metoclopramide or other medications such as Ondansetron. In addition, therapy for nausea and vomiting includes management of electrolyte abnormalities, managing mucositis, treating constipation, and the use of antiemetic therapy, if needed. 4.Fatigue- Treatment is generally focused upon the underlying cause of fatigue (eg, anemia). A multimodal approach to treatment may be most effective. Interventions include: a.Treatment of depression, anxiety, and/or sleep disturbance, if present b.Rest and frequent naps c.Modifying activities (including playing/socializing). d.Use of psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate, can be used to increase wakefulness. Given the short duration of action, the timing of doses can be controlled to coincide with important events during the day, such as visits with family and friends. 5.Anorexia and Weight Loss- Pharmacologic interventions that can increase appetite include megestrol acetate, cannabinoids, and corticosteroids. 6.Depression and Anxiety- Nonpharmacologic therapy includes child life specialists, child psychologists, or other trained experts are essential members of the team to assist children with expressing emotional symptoms of distress through age appropriate activities. In particular, guided imagery and hypnosis are effective tools in children with depression and anxiety. Psychopharmacologic treatment can be considered for children with symptoms of depression and anxiety that persist despite nonpharmacologic interventions or in those with more severe symptoms that meet diagnostic criteria for a psychiatric disorder. Options include: Benzodiazepines may have some short term benefit for anxiety symptoms. They should be used cautiously on a chronic basis, if at all, given the lack of evidence to indicate long term benefit and the development of dependence from long term use. 7.Delirium and Agitation- Medications that can help manage the symptoms of delirium and agitation include benzodiazepines and antipsychotic medications. 8.Anemia and Bleeding- Mucosal bleeding can sometimes be controlled with aminocaproic acid given orally or intravenously to inhibit fibrinolysis. Topical options include fibrin sealants. The tannins present in black teas can also help to stop bleeding. At home, patients can press a wet tea bag onto bleeding gums. More significant bleeding may require platelet transfusions. 9.Seizures- Transmucosal antiseizure drug administration (eg, rectal diazepam) is an effective and relatively safe emergency treatment for This TMC NCG Online Expert Opinion Service, and Navya Network Inc., does not diagnose, treat, give orders, or have the ultimate Page 4 authority over the care of any individuals.

  5. patients with prolonged seizures or seizure clusters in settings where intravenous access is not readily available. Palliative care teams can also provide a supportive environment and assist members of the health care team in managing their own distress. Provider distress is understandable and common when caring for a child with a serious illness. The palliative care team can bring your child comfort in many ways. Further, http://hospicecare.com/home/ offers information on symptomatic treatment and supportive care.
