Disease-specific hospitalizations among 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor: A Nordic population-based cohort study. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2021; 68:e28905. [PMID: 33484071 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.28905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND With modern therapy, over 90% of Wilms tumor patients can expect to become long-term survivors, and focus on morbidity and late effects become increasingly important. We provide a novel evaluation and insight to subsequent hospitalizations in 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor. METHODS As part of the Adult Life after Childhood Cancer in Scandinavia (ALiCCS) study, we identified 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor. Based on stratified random sampling, we constructed a population comparison cohort. Outcomes of interest were overall hospitalizations; hospitalizations for specific organ systems and disease-specific categories. Standardized hospitalization rate ratios (SHRR) and absolute excess risks (AER) were calculated. RESULTS We included 913, 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor and 152 231 population comparisons. Survivors of Wilms tumor had an increased overall risk of being hospitalized (SHRR 1.8; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7-2.0). The hospitalization risk was increased within all major organ systems: urinary and genital organs (SHRR 2.5; 95% CI 2.1-3.0), endocrine (SHRR 2.5; 95% CI 1.9-3.3), cardiovascular (SHRR 2.2; 95% CI 1.7-2.9), and gastrointestinal (SHRR 1.5; 95% CI 1.3-1.8). Risks for specific diseases are reported in the study. CONCLUSIONS Survivors of Wilms tumor had higher risks than population comparisons for a wide range of diseases, with the highest risks seen for urinary, endocrine, and cardiovascular disorders. Five to 20 years after the Wilms tumor diagnosis, 43% of survivors had been hospitalized at least once versus 29% of population comparisons. The overall AER was 2.3, which translates into 0.2 extra hospitalizations in 10 years for every Wilms tumor survivor.

Chaussy Y, Vieille L, Lacroix E, Lenoir M, Marie F, Corbat L, Henriet J, Auber F. 3D reconstruction of Wilms' tumor and kidneys in children: Variability, usefulness and constraints. J Pediatr Urol 2020; 16:830.e1-830.e8. [PMID: 32893166 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2020.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most common type of malignant kidney tumor in children. Three-dimensional reconstructions can be performed pre-operatively to help surgeons in the planning phase. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to determine the variability of WT segmentation and 3D reconstruction. The secondary objectives were to assess the usefulness of these 3D reconstructions in the surgical planning phase and in the selection of patients for nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). METHODS 14 scans from 12 patients were manually or semi-automatically segmented by 2 teams using 3D Slicer software. Inter-individual variability of 3D reconstructions was measured based on the Dice index. The utility of 3D reconstructions for the surgical planning was evaluated by 4 pediatric surgeons using a 5-point Likert scale. The possibility of undertaking NSS was evaluated according to the criteria defined in the Umbrella SIOP-RTSG 2016 protocol. RESULTS Segmentation of the WT, healthy kidney, pathological kidney, arterial and venous vascularization could be performed for all of the patients in this study. Urinary cavities segmentation could only be performed for 5 out of 14 scans that had a delayed acquisition phase. The mean time required to carry out these segmentations was 8.6 h [3-15 h]. The mean Dice index for all of the scans was good (mean: 0.87; range [0.83-0.91]). Considering each anatomical structure, the Dice index was very good for the WT (mean: 0.95; range [0.91-0.97]) and the healthy kidney (mean: 0.95; range [0.93-0.96]), good for the pathological kidney (mean: 0.87; range [0.69-0.96]) and arterial vascularization (mean: 0.84; range [0.74-0.91]). The Dice index was lower than 0.8 for venous vascularization only (mean: 0.77; range [0.58-0.86]). All the surgeons who were interviewed agreed that the 3D reconstructions were realistic representations and useful for the surgical planning phase. The images reconstructed in 3D allowed most of the criteria defined by the Umbrella SIOP-RTSG 2016 protocol to be evaluated regarding the selection of patients who could benefit from NSS. CONCLUSION The inter-individual variability of 3D reconstructions of WT is acceptable. Three-dimensional representation appears to assist surgeons with the surgical planning phase by allowing them to better anticipate the operative risks. 3D reconstructions can also be an additional tool to better select patients for NSS. However, the manual or semi-automatic method used is very time-consuming, making it difficult for a routinely use. Developing techniques to automate this segmentation process, therefore, appears to be essential if surgeons and radiologists are to use it in daily practice.

Long-term renal function after treatment for unilateral, nonsyndromic Wilms tumor. A report from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2020; 67:e28271. [PMID: 32706494 PMCID: PMC7735383 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.28271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2019] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of specific treatment modalities on long-term renal function and blood pressure among adult survivors of Wilms tumor (WT) has not been well documented. METHODS Among 40 WT survivors and 35 noncancer controls, we estimated the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equations with and without cystatin C, obtained 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure readings, and, among survivors only, measured 99m Tc diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) plasma clearance. Survivors were treated with unilateral nephrectomy and nonnephrotoxic chemotherapy. Twenty received whole abdomen radiation therapy (WART) [median -16.5 Gray (Gy)], and 20 received no radiation therapy. Pairwise comparisons between survivors treated with and without WART, and each group to controls were performed using two-sample t tests. RESULTS Twenty-six (65%) WT survivors were female, and 33 (83%) were non-Hispanic white. GFR estimated with creatinine or creatinine + cystatin C was decreased among irradiated survivors compared with controls. No irradiated or unirradiated participant had an eGFR (creatinine + cystatin C) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . The prevalence of hypertension was significantly increased among unirradiated (25%) and irradiated survivors (35%) compared with controls (0%). Of the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters evaluated, only mean sleep period diastolic blood pressure load of those who received WART was significantly different from that of controls. CONCLUSIONS Chronic kidney disease was infrequent in long-term survivors of unilateral nonsyndromic WT, whether treated with WART or no radiation. The prevalence of hypertension was increased in both groups compared with controls, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring of renal and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Background We aimed to examine the risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 among adults with ASK from unilateral nephrectomy. Methods We retrospectively collected data from adult patients with ASK between January, 2009 and January, 2019, identified from a tertiary hospital in China. The clinical data were compared between patients who developed CKD stage 3 and those who did not develop CKD stage 3 during follow-up. Results In total, 172 patients with ASK (110 men; median 58.0 years) were enrolled, with a median follow-up duration of 5.0 years. During follow-up, 91 (52.9%) and 24 (14.0%) patients developed CKD stage 3 and end-stage renal disease, respectively. Multiple regression analyses showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 1.076, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.039–1.115, p < 0.001), diabetes (OR 4.401, 95% CI 1.693–11.44, p = 0.002), hyperuricemia (OR 2.733, 95% CI 1.104–6.764, p = 0.03), a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (OR 5.583, 95% CI 1.884–18.068, p = 0.002), and ASK due to renal tuberculosis (OR 8.816, 95% CI 2.92–26.62, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for developing CKD stage 3 among patients with ASK. Conclusions Regular follow-up of renal function is needed among adult patients with ASK. Optimal management of diabetes, hyperuricemia, and CVD may reduce their risk of CKD stage 3, especially among those that undergo unilateral nephrectomy for renal tuberculosis.

International Publication Patterns on Operative Management of Wilms Tumor: A Review by Surgeon Specialty and Surgical Modality. Urology 2020; 140:132-137. [PMID: 32205163 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2020.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2020] [Revised: 03/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the temporal trends in the published literature of the surgical management of Wilms tumor (WT) relative to surgical modality and authorship by surgeon specialty (pediatric urology [PU] vs pediatric surgery [PS]). METHODS The MEDLINE/PubMed database was queried for manuscripts published by PU or PS including operative management of WT from 1993-2017. After manuscript review, 187 of 2420 studies were included. Studies were compared by author specialty, country of origin, and represented patients. RESULTS PU published 32% of included publications. The proportion of first author publications by PU increased over time (25% from 1993-2005 to 39% from 2006-2017, P = .029). While PU were first author on 44% of studies in North America, they were relatively underrepresented internationally. PU and PS were equally likely to be first author on cooperative group studies, which accounted for 19% of the overall publications. 14,958 patients underwent extirpative surgery for WT. There was a small increase in publications reporting the use of minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) and nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) over time (<1% and 4% from 1993-2005 to 2% and 7% from 2006-2017, respectively, P <.001). Compared to PS, PU were significantly more likely to publish on patients managed with MIS and NSS (P = .006 and P < 0.001 respectively). CONCLUSION Publications by PU on the surgical management of WT are increasing over time, but are still fewer than PS. PU appeared to be the drivers of the temporal trend towards the increasing use of MIS and NSS in the published literature.

Abstract
Introduction: Children with a solitary post-nephrectomy kidney (SNK) are at potential risk of developing kidney disease later in life. In response to the global decline in the number of nephrons, adaptive mechanisms lead to renal injury. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and time of onset of high blood pressure (HBP), proteinuria, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) disruption and renal tubular acidosis (RTA) in children with SNK. Materials and methods: After obtaining the approval from our institution's ethics committee, we reviewed the medical records of patients under 18 years of age who underwent unilateral nephrectomy between January 2005 and December 2015 in three university hospitals. Results: We identified 43 patients, 35 (81.4%) cases of unilateral nephrectomy (UNP) were due to a non-oncologic pathology and Wilm's tumor was identified in 8 (18.6%) cases. In patients with non-oncologic disease, 9.3% developed de novo hypertension, with an average time of onset of 7.1 years, 25% developed proteinuria de novo, with an average time of onset of 2.2 years. For GFR, 21.8% presented deterioration of the GFR in an average time of 3.4 years. Ten (43.5%) patients developed some type of de novo renal injury after UNP. Patients with oncologic disease developed the conditions slowly and none of them developed proteinuria. Conclusions: Taking into account the high rate of long term postoperative renal injury, it can be considered that nephrectomy does not prevent this disease. The follow-up of children with SNK requires a multidisciplinary approach and long-term surveillance to detect renal injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in diagnostics and treatment for paediatric malignancies resulted in a major increase in survival. However, childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of developing adverse effects caused by multimodal treatment for their malignancy. Nephrotoxicity is a known side effect of several treatments, including cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiotherapy and nephrectomy, and can cause glomerular filtration rate (GFR) impairment, proteinuria, tubulopathy, and hypertension. Evidence about the long-term effects of these treatments on renal function remains inconclusive. It is important to know the risk of, and risk factors for, early and late adverse renal effects, so that ultimately treatment and screening protocols can be adjusted. This review is an update of a previously published Cochrane Review. OBJECTIVES To evaluate existing evidence on the effects of potentially nephrotoxic treatment modalities on the prevalence of renal dysfunction in survivors treated for childhood cancer with a median or mean survival of at least one year after cessation of treatment, where possible in comparison with the general population or CCS treated without potentially nephrotoxic treatment. In addition, to evaluate evidence on associated risk factors, such as follow-up duration, age at time of diagnosis and treatment combinations, as well as the effect of doses. SEARCH METHODS On 31 March 2017 we searched the following electronic databases: CENTRAL, MEDLINE and Embase. In addition, we screened reference lists of relevant studies and we searched the congress proceedings of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) and The American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) from 2010 to 2016/2017. SELECTION CRITERIA Except for case reports, case series and studies including fewer than 20 participants, we included studies with all study designs that reported on renal function (one year or longer after cessation of treatment), in CCS treated before the age of 21 years with cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiation involving the kidney region, a nephrectomy, or a combination of two or more of these treatments. When not all treatment modalities were described or the study group of interest was unclear, a study was not eligible for the evaluation of prevalence. We still included it for the assessment of risk factors if it had performed a multivariable analysis. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed study selection, 'Risk of bias' assessment and data extraction using standardised data collection forms. We performed analyses according to the guidelines of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. MAIN RESULTS Apart from the remaining 37 studies included from the original review, the search resulted in the inclusion of 24 new studies. In total, we included 61 studies; 46 for prevalence, six for both prevalence and risk factors, and nine not meeting the inclusion criteria, but assessing risk factors. The 52 studies evaluating the prevalence of renal dysfunction included 13,327 participants of interest, of whom at least 4499 underwent renal function testing. The prevalence of adverse renal effects ranged from 0% to 84%. This variation may be due to diversity of included malignancies, received treatments, reported outcome measures, follow-up duration and the methodological quality of available evidence.Seven out of 52 studies, including 244 participants, reported the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, which ranged from 2.4% to 32%.Of these 52 studies, 36 studied a decreased (estimated) GFR, including at least 432 CCS, and found it was present in 0% to 73.7% of participants. One eligible study reported an increased risk of glomerular dysfunction after concomitant treatment with aminoglycosides and vancomycin in CCS receiving total body irradiation (TBI). Four non-eligible studies assessing a total cohort of CCS, found nephrectomy and (high-dose (HD)) ifosfamide as risk factors for decreased GFR. The majority also reported cisplatin as a risk factor. In addition, two non-eligible studies showed an association of a longer follow-up period with glomerular dysfunction.Twenty-two out of 52 studies, including 851 participants, studied proteinuria, which was present in 3.5% to 84% of participants. Risk factors, analysed by three non-eligible studies, included HD cisplatin, (HD) ifosfamide, TBI, and a combination of nephrectomy and abdominal radiotherapy. However, studies were contradictory and incomparable.Eleven out of 52 studies assessed hypophosphataemia or tubular phosphate reabsorption (TPR), or both. Prevalence ranged between 0% and 36.8% for hypophosphataemia in 287 participants, and from 0% to 62.5% for impaired TPR in 246 participants. One non-eligible study investigated risk factors for hypophosphataemia, but could not find any association.Four out of 52 studies, including 128 CCS, assessed the prevalence of hypomagnesaemia, which ranged between 13.2% and 28.6%. Both non-eligible studies investigating risk factors identified cisplatin as a risk factor. Carboplatin, nephrectomy and follow-up time were other reported risk factors.The prevalence of hypertension ranged from 0% to 50% in 2464 participants (30/52 studies). Risk factors reported by one eligible study were older age at screening and abdominal radiotherapy. A non-eligible study also found long follow-up time as risk factor. Three non-eligible studies showed that a higher body mass index increased the risk of hypertension. Treatment-related risk factors were abdominal radiotherapy and TBI, but studies were inconsistent.Because of the profound heterogeneity of the studies, it was not possible to perform meta-analyses. Risk of bias was present in all studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of adverse renal effects after treatment with cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiation therapy involving the kidney region, nephrectomy, or any combination of these, ranged from 0% to 84% depending on the study population, received treatment combination, reported outcome measure, follow-up duration and methodological quality. With currently available evidence, it was not possible to draw solid conclusions regarding the prevalence of, and treatment-related risk factors for, specific adverse renal effects. Future studies should focus on adequate study designs and reporting, including large prospective cohort studies with adequate control groups when possible. In addition, these studies should deploy multivariable risk factor analyses to correct for possible confounding. Next to research concerning known nephrotoxic therapies, exploring nephrotoxicity after new therapeutic agents is advised for future studies. Until more evidence becomes available, CCS should preferably be enrolled into long-term follow-up programmes to monitor their renal function and blood pressure.

Abstract
Wilms tumor is the most common renal malignancy of childhood. Because of the improvement in prognosis and the increase in survival rates, long-term consequences of the treatment for Wilms tumor are of greater concern. We investigated late renal effects of the treatment on 50 survivors of nonsyndromic unilateral Wilms tumor. After the second year since the cessation of treatment, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary protein excretion, urinary β2 microglobulin levels, and blood pressure as well as the general health status were assessed. Results were analyzed for correlation with clinical variables, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy as possible risk factors. At a median follow-up time of 8.8 years (mean=10.9; range, 2.3 to 35.4 y), none of the patients developed end-stage renal disease. Compensatory hypertrophy was observed in 68% of the cases. The median maximum bipolar length was significantly higher in patients diagnosed after the age of 36 months. Eleven (22%) and 2 (4%) of the 50 patients were hypertensive at the time of the diagnosis and the study, respectively. Similarly, median GFR values were significantly lower at the time of diagnosis, although at the time of the study, all patients had normal GFR values. With longer follow-up intervals, especially after 10 years, a significant decreasing trend in the GFR was observed (P=0.002).

Long-term follow-up of blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate in patients with a solitary functioning kidney: a comparison between Wilms tumor survivors and nephrectomy for other reasons. Pediatr Nephrol 2016; 31:435-41. [PMID: 26482253 PMCID: PMC4756034 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-015-3215-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2015] [Revised: 09/04/2015] [Accepted: 09/08/2015] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with unilateral Wilms tumor (WT) treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and nephrectomy have excellent survival rates. A solitary functioning kidney (SFK) is associated with progressive renal injury. This study aims to investigate the additional effect of Wilms tumor treatment on renal function compared with children with an SFK for non-oncological reasons. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study on the renal injury markers of 79 survivors of unilateral WT was performed and compared with a matched group of children with an SFK for non-oncological reasons. Mean age at follow-up was 12.4 (SD 5.9) years. RESULTS During follow-up, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and blood pressure z-scores remained stable at an acceptable level. However, in the group of 31 WT patients with a follow-up of 15 years, 23% showed signs of renal injury. This proportion was smaller than the 54% in a group of SFK patients based on non-oncological causes (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS A significant proportion of WT survivors develop renal injury during follow-up. Our data may be an underestimation of the true frequency of progressive renal injury, due to a lack of information on proteinuria. As with patients with a non-oncological SFK, long-term follow-up is essential to monitor WT survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of renal impairment among survivors of childhood unilateral non-syndromic renal tumors (RTs) is not well defined. We evaluated the prevalence of and possible risk factors for renal impairment by estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) categories and chronic kidney disease (CKD) according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. PROCEDURE Since 1978, 82 patients were treated for RT, according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology protocols in a single oncology unit. Of the 67 survivors, those who underwent nephron sparing surgery, those with short-term follow-up or those who had bilateral and/or syndromic disease or a second malignancy were excluded. Thirty-five adult survivors (14 M/21F; mean age 25 years; mean follow-up 20 years) were studied by chemistry, kidney ultrasound, blood pressure measurement, urinanalysis. Correlations were investigated between the prevalence of eGFR categories and CKD and gender, age at diagnosis, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, body mass index, time of follow-up, and age at study. RESULTS Eight (22.9%) survivors presented a mildly decreased eGFR (G2 category), the mean value was 80 ± 9.78 ml/min/1.73m(2) (median 84.5, range 63-89). Three (8.6%) survivors had CKD and a fourth (2.9%) hypertension. No significant correlations between G2 category and clinical variables were found. CONCLUSIONS A small percentage of survivors had CKD or hypertension after two decades. It is not yet clear whether a mildly decreased eGFR that does not constitute CKD in the absence of other markers (albuminuria and/or kidney ultrasound abnormalities) is likely to progress to CKD. Health promotion programs to avoid comorbidities are required.

Abstract
Survival in patients with Wilms tumor (WT) is excellent compared with other pediatric malignancies and adult renal tumors. Treatment-related long-term morbidity and mortality in WT survivors is an area of increasing concern. Renal dysfunction is an example of one of the most feared long-term issues observed in these survivors. Direct toxicity from chemotherapy and radiation as well as direct nephron ablation from surgical treatment (nephrectomy) renders the kidney susceptible to a multitude of problems over time in patients with WT. In this article, we review the existing literature pertaining to renal function in these patients. Incidence rates, causes, and methods to mitigate renal dysfunction are presented in 3 distinct clinical situations: sporadic unilateral WT, syndromic unilateral WT, and bilateral WT. We also offer a critical lens on the current role of nephron-sparing surgery as a means to preserve renal function in these patients. Finally, we discuss potential avenues for refining renal function preservation in patients with WT in the future. We conclude that: (1) renal function in pediatric cancer survivors must be carefully ascertained prospectively using methods that allow diagnosis of mild cases (rather than focus solely on extreme cases represented by the development of end-stage renal disease), (2) every effort should be made to recognize subtle features of predisposition syndromes to avoid syndromic cases from being misclassified and treated as sporadic, (3) molecular stratification for disease aggressiveness as well as multifocality and renal dysfunction will be very important to tailor treatment and balance survival with preservation of renal function, and (4) the role and potential benefits of nephron-sparing surgery deserves careful exploration under well-designed protocols.

Abstract
Impaired renal function may occur following multimodal treatment of cancer in childhood. Renal late effects caused by chemotherapy, renal surgery and/or radiotherapy are now well described; but little is known about their prevalence and time of development. Herein, we provide a synthesis of the different renal complications that may occur with their physiopathology in relation with specific treatment exposures. This review summarized the literature that supported the recommendations issued by the long-term follow-up group of the "Société française des cancers de l'enfant (SFCE)" for childhood cancer survivors at risk for nephrotoxicity (www.sfce.org ; www.soc-nephrologie.org/SNP/index.htm). We developed these monitoring elements and the lifestyle recommendations for all asymptomatic survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial nephrectomy is considered by some for children with unilateral Wilms tumor (UWT) to avoid the theoretical complication of renal insufficiency. In the current study, the authors evaluated the prevalence of hypertension and impaired renal function in long-term survivors of nonsyndromic UWT who were treated without nephrotoxic chemotherapy or ionizing radiation. METHODS Eligibility included age ≤15 years at the time of diagnosis of nonsyndromic UWT, treatment receipt before 2002, and maintenance of disease remission after unilateral nephrectomy without receipt of abdominal irradiation or nephrotoxic chemotherapy. Renal function was assessed by urinalysis and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Patients receiving antihypertensive medication or those with blood pressure readings of >140/90 mm Hg were considered to be hypertensive. RESULTS A total of 75 patients with a median age at diagnosis of 3.2 years (range, 0.2-12.1 years) met eligibility criteria. The median length of follow-up was 19.6 years (range, 10.0-32.8 years). All but 1 patient had stage I/II disease. Sixty-eight patients (90.7%) patients had WT with favorable histology and 7 patients had anaplastic histology. Sixteen patients (21.3%) had an eGFR <90 mL/minute/1.73m(2), 2 of whom also had proteinuria (12.5%). No patient had an eGFR <60 mL/minute/1.73m(2). Five patients (6.7%) had hypertension, 3 of whom were receiving antihypertensive medications. At the time of last follow-up, no patient had developed end-stage renal disease. CONCLUSIONS Patients with UWT who were treated with unilateral radical nephrectomy without nephrotoxic chemotherapy or ionizing radiation appear to be at low risk of developing significant long-term renal dysfunction. For this patient population, the routine use of partial nephrectomy does not appear justified. However, monitoring and counseling are important for identifying the rare patient who develops subtle renal insufficiency and therefore might be at an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular sequelae.
