Abstract

Retrospective analysis of 29 children with bilateral Wilms' Tumour, 14 boys and 15 girls, aged 4m-5 years, from regional centres of paediatric oncology in Poland, treated according to the O1-92 PPGL Protocol of Wilms' tumour, was performed. All patients were treated with two (ACT + VCR) or three (ACT, VCR, DOX) cytostatic drugs preoperatively, and 26 were operated upon after cytoreductive pretreatment. In 12 children nephrectomy was performed. In 28, kidney sparing surgery was possible and made with success. 2 patients who presented disseminated disease and 1 with nephroblastomatosis were given chemotherapy. 19 out of 29 (65.5%) are alive including 1 patient with nephroblastoma. EFS calculated according to Kaplan-Meier analysis for this group, was 58% at 67 months.
