Wilms tumor: “State-of-the-art” update, 2016

Abstract: Despite an impressive increase in survival rate over the past decades, there is still a need to improve the survival of specific subgroups of Wilms tumor (anaplastic, metastatic, and bilateral) and to decrease the late effects of treatment in terms of renal function and heart toxicity. We aim to explore new areas of improvement, from diagnosis to treatment: in the field of radiology the increased use of MRI and exploration of its diffusion-weighted imaging capabilities to predict WT histology at diagnosis and … Show more

“…Wilms tumor is a kidney malignancy that occurs frequently in children and is associated with various genetic alterations . Surgery combined with chemoradiation therapy, based on the stage of disease, has historically been the standard treatment for Wilms tumor . Given the recent advances in the molecular pathogenesis of Wilms tumor and the identification of several novel driver mutations associated with a common set of developmental pathways, therapy targeted at these pathways may be beneficial …”

“…Wilms' tumour (WT) is one of the most common abdominal malignant neoplasms of childhood, with highly successful treatment options developed over the last three decades . Management includes surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiation, administered under different multi‐institutional protocols generated mainly in North America and Europe . The decision to proceed with upfront surgery (radical nephrectomy vs partial/nephron‐sparing surgery [NSS]) vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NaC) not only depends on which protocol is being followed, but also on patient variables such as the presence of unilateral vs bilateral disease and diagnosis of a genetic predisposition syndrome .…”
