[PMID: 31636670 PMCID: PMC6766156 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9074908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 08/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Wilms tumor is the most common type of renal malignancy in children. Previous studies have demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the AURKA gene could predispose to several human malignancies. We recruited 145 cases and 531 cancer-free controls to investigate whether AURKA gene variants modify Wilms tumor susceptibility. Three AURKA SNPs (rs1047972 C>T, rs2273535 T>A, and rs8173 G>C) were genotyped by the Taqman methodology. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between AURKA SNPs and Wilms tumor risk. We found that only the rs8173 G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with Wilms tumor risk (GC vs. GG: adjusted OR (AOR) = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.35-0.73, P=0.0002; GC/CC vs. GG: AOR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.42-0.88, P=0.008). Stratification analysis revealed that rs8173 GC/CC genotypes were associated with Wilms tumor risk among children aged >18 months (AOR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.34-0.93, P=0.024), male children (AOR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.33-0.90, P=0.017), and children with clinical stage III + IV diseases (AOR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.35-0.90, P=0.017). Haplotype analysis indicated that the CAG haplotype was significantly associated with increased Wilms tumor risk. In conclusion, our findings indicated that the AURKA rs8173 G>C polymorphism was associated with decreased Wilms tumor risk in Chinese children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms tumor is the most common primary renal malignancy occurring in childhood. Significant improvement has been made in the treatment of children with Wilms tumor. However, the treatment of patients with non-Wilms renal tumors remains challenging. METHODS Between 1991 and 2010, 70 children with renal tumors were diagnosed at a single institution. Fifty-four patients were histologically confirmed and divided into three groups, including 42 Wilms tumors, seven clear cell sarcomas of kidney, and five malignant rhabdoid tumors. Most patients underwent unilateral nephrectomy and lymph node sampling followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Twenty-one of these patients subsequently received radiotherapy. RESULTS During follow-up, 12 patients died of progressive disease and one died of operative mortality. One patient with unilateral pleural metastases subsequently underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The median survival time of all patients was 88 months. Children under 2 years of age at diagnosis with Wilms tumor or clear cell sarcoma of kidney had an excellent survival rate of 100% compared to the 0% survival rate of MRT. CONCLUSION Younger age at diagnosis bore a better prognosis than did older age, whereas a diagnosis of malignant rhabdoid tumor portended a worse prognosis. Younger patients and appropriate treatment may have contributed to the improved prognosis of clear cell sarcoma of kidney.

Abstract
The prognosis for most patients with newly diagnosed Wilms' tumor (WT) is excellent, but those who have recurrent or refractory disease have a significantly worse prognosis. High dose chemotherapy (HDT) requiring autologous stem-cell rescue has been tried for recurrent WT with variable results, but no randomized clinical trial has ever been performed. A recent review by T.C. Ha and colleagues of the published cases to date suggests HDT may be beneficial to the very high risk subset of patients with recurrent WT, but this conclusion is fraught with the caveats of any retrospective review. A prospective clinical trial would be challenging to complete but with careful planning and international collaboration it could be accomplished. Such a trial is likely the only way to know with certainty the safety and efficacy of HDT for recurrent WT.
