CHAVEZ-AGUILAR, Lénica A. e PENA-VELEZ, Rubén. Acute pancreatitis in children with hemato-oncological diseases: clinical aspects and treatment. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2021, vol.78, n.2, pp.95-101. Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.20000110.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. It is currently seen more frequently in children undergoing treatment for a hemato-oncological disease and it is mainly associated with the administration of L-asparaginase. The early identification of this complication and the establishment of an appropriate therapeutic plan can improve its prognosis and reduce the risk of other complications. In this article, we make a critical review of the current literature, with special emphasis on the clinical aspects, diagnosis, and treatment of acute pancreatitis in children with cancer.
