Letter to the Editor “Early postoperative fever in pediatric oncology patients undergoing solid tumor resection”

Topic overview

We read with great interest the recent study “Early postoperative fever in pediatric oncology patients undergoing solid tumor resection” by Lundstedt J et al. [1]. The authors conclude that postoperative fever following solid tumor resection in pediatric oncology patients is a frequent but usually non-infectious event, and that routine, extensive diagnostic workups are rarely necessary. Their dataset is indeed one of the largest cohorts in this underexplored field, However, we would like to raise a few important points for consideration before extrapolating these findings into clinical practice.
