Objective: This study aimed to identify parameters that allow the estimation of tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes (LN) after pretreatment for unilateral Wilms tumor (WT).
Summary Background Data: Complete tumor resection with removal of regional LN is always necessary. Positive LNs require local irradiation influencing benefits in case of NSS in long-term follow-up. Clinical and tumor-related data available at the time of surgery in combination with intraoperative findings (IAF) were used to estimate the LN status during surgery.
Methods: Altogether, 2115 patients with unilateral WT were prospectively enrolled in SIOP-93-01 / GPOH and SIOP-2001 / GPOH over a period of 30 years (1993-2023). LN infiltration by tumor was calculated for age, sex, metastases at diagnosis, tumor volume (TV), TV shrinkage, and intraoperative findings (IAF) using logistic regression models.
Results: Age ≥48 months (P<0.001, OR 2.17, CI 1.57 - 3.00), TV at diagnosis ≥300 (P<0.001, OR 3.72, CI 2.37 - 5.85), metastasis at diagnosis (P<0.001, OR 6.21, CI 4.47 - 8.62) and IAF (>1: P<0.001, OR 3.54, CI 2.13 - 5.88) correlated with positive LNs. TV shrinkage was not predictive of positive LN. Three flow charts were developed based on age, TV at diagnosis, metastasis, and IAF. These flowcharts defined risks between 0% and 41.5% for LN infiltration by tumor.
Conclusions: The combination of age, TV at diagnosis, and metastasis with IAF allows the estimation of the frequency of positive LNs, which may help surgeons deciding about NSS.

Kidney Function and Body Composition in Adult Survivors of Unilateral, Non-Syndromic Wilms Tumor: A Report From the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study.

Department of Oncology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Background: The relationships among treatment exposures, body composition, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in adult survivors of Wilms tumor have not been well studied.
Methods: We evaluated body composition with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and eGFR with the updated Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations (creatinine only-eGFR, cystatin C only-eGFR, creatinine and cystatin C-eGFR) without race in 134 adults previously treated for unilateral, non-syndromic Wilms tumor at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital between 1964 and 2004 with chemotherapy and with (hemiabdomen [HA] or whole abdomen [WA]) or without radiation therapy (RT).

Department of Oncology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Adult survivors of unilateral, nonmetastatic, non-syndromic Wilms tumor (WT) treated with whole abdomen radiation therapy (WART) are at risk for impaired kidney function. The impact of bias and accuracy on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) among adult survivors of WT has not been well documented.
Procedure: We clinically evaluated male and female WT survivors with creatinine and cystatin C, calculated eGFR using the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology equations with and without cystatin C, and measured Tc diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) plasma clearance.

October 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University First Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou, People's Republic of China.
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the non-neoplastic renal parenchyma in Wilms tumor (WT) and investigate its impact on nephron-sparing surgery (NSS).
Materials And Methods: The non-neoplastic renal parenchyma of WT patients was prospectively collected for pathological examination. The histology of non-neoplastic renal parenchyma was assessed from two perspectives: nephrogenic rests (NRs) and nephrons.
