Abstract
Pediatric renal tumors are among the most common pediatric solid malignancies. Surgical resection is a key component in the multidisciplinary therapy for children with kidney tumors. Therefore, it is imperative that surgeons caring for children with renal tumors fully understand the current standards of care in order to provide appropriate surgical expertise within this multimodal framework. Fortunately, the last 60 years of international, multidisciplinary pediatric cancer cooperative group studies have enabled high rates of cure for these patients. This review will highlight the international surgical approaches to pediatric patients with kidney cancer to help surgeons understand the key differences and similarities between the European (International Society of Pediatric Oncology) and North American (Children's Oncology Group) recommendations.

Abstract
Surgery plays a crucial role in the treatment of children with solid malignancies. A well-conducted operation is often essential for cure. Collaboration with the primary care team is important for determining if and when surgery should be performed, and if performed, an operation must be done in accordance with well-established standards. The long-term consequences of surgery also need to be considered. Indications and objectives for a procedure vary. Providing education and developing and analyzing new research protocols that include aims relevant to surgery are key objectives of the Surgery Discipline of the Children's Oncology Group. The critical evaluation of emerging technologies to ensure safe, effective procedures is another key objective. Through research, education, and advancing technologies, the role of the pediatric surgeon in the multidisciplinary care of children with solid malignancies will continue to evolve.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a very rare pediatric renal tumor. Robust evidence to guide treatment is lacking and knowledge on targeted therapies and immunotherapy is mainly based on adult studies. Currently, the International Society of Pediatric Oncology-Renal Tumor Study Group (SIOP-RTSG) 2016 UMBRELLA protocol recommends sunitinib for metastatic or unresectable RCC. METHODS This retrospective study describes the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-(L)1) monoclonal antibodies, and immunotherapeutic regimens in advanced-stage and relapsed pediatric RCC. RESULTS Of the 31 identified patients (0-18 years) with histologically proven RCC, 3/31 presented with TNM stage I/II, 8/31 with TNM stage III, and 20/31 with TNM stage IV at diagnosis. The majority were diagnosed with translocation type RCC (MiT-RCC) (21/31) and the remaining patients mainly presented with papillary or clear-cell RCC. Treatment in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting, or upon relapse or progression, included mono- or combination therapy with a large variety of drugs, illustrating center specific choices in most patients. Sunitinib was often administered as first choice and predominantly resulted in stable disease (53%). Other frequently used drugs included axitinib, cabozantinib, sorafenib, and nivolumab; however, no treatment seemed more promising than sunitinib. Overall, 15/31 patients died of disease, 12/31 are alive with active disease, and only four patients had a complete response. The sample size and heterogeneity of this cohort only allowed descriptive statistical analysis. CONCLUSION This study provides an overview of a unique series of clinical and treatment characteristics of pediatric patients with RCC treated with targeted therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to conduct a population-based study to determine the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in children and adolescents. METHODS Patients with RCC who were registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program between 2000 and 2018 had their demographic and clinical characteristics evaluated retrospectively. The log-rank test was used to compare survival curves. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to generate survival curves based on various factors. To identify factors associated with overall survival, Cox proportional-hazards regression was used. RESULTS A total of 251 patients were enrolled in the study. For all patients, the overall survival (OS) rates at 3- and 5- year were 93.5% and 92.0%, respectively. A multivariable study revealed that the following factors were independently associated with overall survival: sex, race, histologic type, SEER stage, AJCC stage, and type of surgery. Cox analysis showed that white patients had the lowest risk of mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 2.58, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.33-4.99; P = 0.005), compared with black patients. Patients having metastatic disease had significantly higher mortality risk (HR 43, 95% CI, 14.8-125; P < 0.001) than the patients with localized tumour. CONCLUSIONS Our study emphasizes the importance of race, SEER stage, and surgery in the prognosis of paediatric RCC, providing valuable epidemiological evidence for clinical practice. Economic studies assessing a race/ethnic group specific strategy are also required.

Abstract
Every year, approximately 600 infants, children, and adolescents are diagnosed with renal cancer in the United States. In addition to Wilms tumor (WT), which accounts for about 80% of all pediatric renal cancers, clear cell sarcoma of the kidney, renal cell carcinoma, malignant rhabdoid tumor, as well as more rare cancers (other sarcomas, rare carcinomas, lymphoma) and benign tumors can originate within the kidney. WT itself can be divided into favorable histology (FHWT), with a 5-year overall survival (OS) exceeding 90%, and anaplastic histology, with 4-year OS of 73.7%. Outcomes of the other pediatric renal cancers include clear cell sarcoma (5-year OS: 90%), malignant rhabdoid tumor (5-year OS: 10% for stages 3 and 4), and renal cell carcinoma (4-year OS: 84.8%). Recent clinical trials have identified novel biological prognostic markers for FHWT, and a series of Children's Oncology Group (COG) trials have demonstrated improving outcomes with therapy modification, and opportunities for further care refinement.

Abstract
We report a very rare case of clear cell variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a 3-year-old male child, who presented to us with a left-sided lump in his abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) scan and technetium-99 Dimercapto succinic acid (DMSA) scan revealed a large left renal mass with compromised left renal function. Left-sided nephroureterectomy was done and histopathology demonstrated clear cell carcinoma, possibly translocation-associated RCC (miT family) staged as pT2NxMx. Postoperative CT scans of the thorax and whole abdomen showed secondaries in the lungs and liver. We discussed treatment options in a multidisciplinary tumor board but meanwhile the child succumbed to respiratory failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the patient characteristics and role of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in the treatment of children and young adults with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). METHODS A systematic search of Embase, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases was conducted in December 2021 according to Cochrane collaboration recommendations. All included manuscripts were assessed for patient characteristics and all reported outcomes for patients undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN), and radical nephrectomy (RN) outcomes were abstracted as a comparison group. Primary outcomes included surgical outcomes, overall survival, kidney outcomes. Outcomes were pooled with weighted mean and ranges. Meta-analysis was not performed given study quality. This systematic review was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022300261). RESULTS We found a total of 16 studies describing 119 and 559 unique patients undergoing PN and RN, respectively, with a mean age of 12.2 years and mean follow-up of 59.1 months. The mean tumor size for patients undergoing PN was 3.5 cm. Of the 113 patients undergoing PN with available data, 109 were alive at follow-up (98%). No studies reported long-term kidney outcomes, and four studies reported surgical outcomes. All studies had at least moderate risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS The use of NSS in children and young adults with RCC is feasible in selected patients. However, small sample sizes, confounding, and low study quality limit clinical recommendation on NSS in this population. There are significant opportunities for future research on the use of NSS in RCC, especially with systematic reporting of oncological, kidney, and surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare in the pediatric population, comprising about 5% of renal neoplasms in children.1 Out of all childhood cases of RCC, translocation RCCs (tRCC) is the most common.2 It is well described in the literature that exposure to alkylating agents such as cyclophosphamide and/or topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin and etoposide, is a risk factor for the development of Xp11 (or TFE3) tRCC.3 Herein is a case of tRCC development in a patient with history of exposure to topoisomerase II inhibitors and alkylating agents to treat a common childhood malignancy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Renal tumors account for approximately 7% of all childhood cancers. These include Wilms tumor (WT), clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) and other rare tumors. We investigated the epidemiology of pediatric renal tumors in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2001 to December 2015, data of pediatric patients (0-18 years) newly-diagnosed with renal tumors at 26 hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Among 439 patients (male, 240), the most common tumor was WT (n=342, 77.9%), followed by RCC (n=36, 8.2%), CCSK (n=24, 5.5%), MRTK (n=16, 3.6%), CMN (n=12, 2.7%), and others (n=9, 2.1%). Median age at diagnosis was 27.1 months (range 0-225.5) and median follow-up duration was 88.5 months (range 0-211.6). Overall, 32 patients died, of whom 17, 11, 1, and 3 died of relapse, progressive disease, second malignant neoplasm, and treatment-related mortality. Five-year overall survival and event free survival were 97.2% and 84.8% in WT, 90.6% and 82.1% in RCC, 81.1% and 63.6% in CCSK, 60.3% and 56.2% in MRTK, and 100% and 91.7% in CMN, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The pediatric renal tumor types in Korea are similar to those previously reported in other countries. WT accounted for a large proportion and survival was excellent. Non-Wilms renal tumors included a variety of tumors and showed inferior outcome, especially MRTK. Further efforts are necessary to optimize the treatment and analyze the genetic characteristics of pediatric renal tumors in Korea.

Abstract
Pediatric renal cell carcinomas (RCC) differ from their adult counterparts not only in histologic subtypes but also in clinical characteristics and outcome. However, the underlying biology is still largely unclear. For this reason, we performed whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing analyses on a cohort of 25 pediatric RCC patients with various histologic subtypes, including 10 MiT family translocation (MiT) and 10 papillary RCCs. In this cohort of pediatric RCC, we find only limited genomic overlap with adult RCC, even within the same histologic subtype. Recurrent somatic mutations in genes not previously reported in RCC were detected, such as in CCDC168, PLEKHA1, VWF, and MAP3K9. Our papillary pediatric RCCs, which represent the largest cohort to date with comprehensive molecular profiling in this age group, appeared as a distinct genomic subtype differing in terms of gene mutations and gene expression patterns not only from MiT-RCC but also from their adult counterparts. WES and RNA-seq of 25 pediatric RCCs with various histologic subtypes Detected only limited genomic overlap with adult RCC Revealed recurrent somatic mutations in genes not previously reported in RCC Discovery of a CRK-PITPNA fusion gene in a pediatric papillary RCC

Renal cell carcinoma in children and adolescents: A retrospective study of a French-Italian series of 93 cases. Histopathology 2022; 80:928-945. [PMID: 35238063 DOI: 10.1111/his.14634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinomas represent 2 to 5% of kidney malignancies in children and adolescents. Appropriate diagnostic and classification are crucial for the correct management of the patients and in order to avoid inappropriate preoperative chemotherapy, which is usually recommended if a Wilms tumor is suspected. METHODS a French-Italian series of 93 renal cell carcinomas collected from 1990 to 2019 in patients aged less than 18 years old was reclassified according to the 2016 WHO classification and the latest literature. TFE3 and TFEB FISH analyses and a panel of immunohistochemical stains were applied. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis was 11 years (range: 9 months - 17 years). MiT family (MiTF) translocation renal cell carcinomas accounted for 52% of the tumors, followed by papillary renal cell carcinomas (20%) and unclassified renal cell carcinomas (13%). Other subtypes, such as SDHB-deficient and Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinomas, represented 1 to 3% of the cases. We also described a case of ALK-rearranged renal cell carcinoma with a metanephric adenoma-like morphology. CONCLUSION A precise histological diagnosis is mandatory as targeted therapy could be applied for some RCC subtypes, i.e., MiTF-translocation and ALK-translocation renal cell carcinomas. Moreover, some RCC subtypes may be associated with a predisposition syndrome that will impact patients' and family's management and genetic counseling. A precise RCC subtype is also mandatory for the clinical management of the patients and the inclusion in new prospective clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Definitive diagnosis of translocation renal cell carcinoma is challenging. We herein experienced a case of translocation(6;11) renal cell carcinoma, successfully diagnosed by using fluorescence in situ hybridization. CASE PRESENTATION During the follow-up of a 21-year-old man with Crohn's disease, computed tomography revealed a 40-mm mass in the right kidney. Since imaging could not exclude malignancy, needle biopsy was performed. The histological diagnosis from the biopsy specimen was renal cell carcinoma, but histological typing had not been done adequately. A laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was then performed. Transcription factor EB immunoreactivity was positive, transcription factor EB rearrangement was shown by break apart and fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization. As a result, a definitive diagnosis of t(6; 11) renal cell carcinoma was made. There has been no recurrence for 5 years. CONCLUSION Transcription factor EB immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization are useful diagnostic tools for renal tumors of young generation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pediatric renal tumors account for 7% of new cancer diagnoses in children. Here, we will review results from recently completed clinical trials informing the current standard of care and discuss targeted and immune therapies being explored for the treatment of high risk or relapsed/refractory pediatric renal malignancies. RECENT FINDINGS Cooperative group trials have continued to make improvements in the care of children with pediatric tumors. In particular, trials that standardize treatment of rare cancers (e.g., bilateral Wilms tumor) have improved outcomes significantly. We have seen improvements in event free and overall survival in recently completed clinical trials for many pediatric renal tumors. Still, there are subsets of rarer cancers where outcomes remain poor and new therapeutic strategies are needed. Future trials aim to balance treatment toxicity with treatment efficacy for those with excellent outcomes while identifying novel therapeutics for those with poor outcomes.
