Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Wilms tumor (WT) accounting for 6-7% of all childhood cancers is the most common renal tumour in childhood. We conducted this study to review the outcome of multimodality treatment of Wilms’ tumor at our institute. Material and Methods: The clinicopathological profile of 8 cases of Wilms’ tumor between 2011- 2015 were studied with NWTS (National Wilms’ Tumor Study Group) protocol. Data was retrospectively analyzed to determine the outcome of treatment which consisted of unilateral Radical Nephrectomy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy based on histopathological staging of the tumor. Results: Eight patients were diagnosed and confirmed histopathologically as Wilms’ tumor between june 2011 through june 2015 and outcomes correlated with age, laterality of tumour, sex, stage at presentation and histology. Favourable histology including focal anaplasia was found in 62.5% while unfavourable histology was elicited in 37.5% of the cases. On follow up, six out of eight patients are doing well while one had pulmonary metastasis and one expired. Conclusion: We successfully managed cases of wilms tumour with comparable results of other studies
