Abstract
The surgical decision to attempt nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in children with renal tumors can be difficult. In adults, nephrometric tools are used for decision-making. More than 90% of low-complexity tumors are eligible for NSS, and high-complexity tumors often require total nephrectomy. We retrospectively applied those nephrometric tools [Radius, Exophytic, Nearness to the sinus or collecting system, Anterior/posterior, Location relative to polar lines (RENAL), Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical classification (PADUA), and Renal Tumor Invasion Index (RTII) scoring systems] to the preoperative imaging of children operated for renal tumors in our institution from 2015 to 2019 and correlated them with the type of surgery. The scores were assessed by 2 independent surgeons and 1 radiologist. Forty-four tumors were removed, including 16 NSS, 38 after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, and 6 upfront surgeries, in 30 children. More than 50% of patients in the low and medium-risk population for RENAL, PADUA, and RTII scores, and ~15% in the high-complexity categories underwent NSS. Tumors removed through NSS were significantly less complex according to each score. Interobserver reliability was good for 3 scores. The application of the RENAL, PADUA, and RTII was able to accurately classify most of the pediatric tumors, according to their complexity. These scores could help increase the indications of NSS in renal tumor surgery.

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
Rhabdoid tumors (RTs) are a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer that commonly presents with alterations in the tumor suppressor gene SMARCB1. However, RT prognosis is still poor, with no standard treatment available. Moreover, no predictive biomarkers have been identified for determining its aggressiveness or chemo- and radio-sensitivities. Herein, four cases of extra-cranial RTs (ERTs) are described, two of whom are long-term survivors. These two surviving patients were positive for p16, whereas the other two were p16-negative. Our findings suggest that biologically distinct types of ERTs exist and that p16 expression may be a potential positive prognostic biomarker of ERTs. Nevertheless, further studies are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms tumor (WT) represents around 85% of pediatric renal tumors. In high-income countries, 5-years survival of WT is above 90% but survival in developing countries is inferior. OBJECTIVE To identify the predictors of treatment outcome of WT in a developing country. METHODS A retrospective study conducted at the pediatric oncology department, Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi, Pakistan. All newly diagnosed WT cases from 1st January 2012 who completed their treatment before 31st August 2019 were evaluated. Treatment was based on SIOP Wilms Tumour 2001/UK version 5. Patients presenting before nephrectomy received pre-operative chemotherapy. The postoperative chemotherapy regimen was decided according to the stage, risk stratification and metastatic status of the patient. RESULTS Data of 84 cases, including 40 (47.6%) males and 44 (52.4%) females was analyzed. The mean diagnostic age was 38.87 ± 28.66 months and 68 (81%) cases were less than five years of age. The commonest presenting features were abdominal mass in 75 (89.3%) cases. The right kidney was affected in 43 (51.2%) cases. Stage I disease was documented in 27 (32.1%) cases, stage II in 25 (29.8%), stage III in 13 (15.5%), and stage IV in 17 (20.2%) cases. In univariate analysis, advanced stage (P = < 0.001) and metastatic disease (P=< 0.001) adversely affected the treatment outcome. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that advanced stage WT was associated with the worst outcome (P= < 0.05). Four (4.8%) cases had treatment-related mortality (TRM). With a median follow-up time of 28.26 ± 23.03 months, OS and EFS were 66 (78.6%) and 63 (75.0%) respectively. DISCUSSION Delayed presentation with advanced-stage metastatic disease is quite common in the developing courtiers and is the major contributor to decreased EFS and OS. In the present study, 20.2% cases had metastatic disease, which is similar to reported from other developing countries. OS decreased from 92.6% in stage I to 47.1% in stage IV disease (P=< 0.001) and EFS decreased from 92.6% in stage I to 43.8% in stage IV disease (P=< 0.001). Very similar results are reported by a regional study [17]. Results in stage I and II disease are comparable to documented in the western world and inferior in advanced-stage disease. The strength of the present study is that multiple factors, affecting the treatment outcome of WT over almost seven years period were evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Stage of the disease is the most important prognostic factor. Delayed presentation with metastatic disease has a poor outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most common renal malignant tumor of childhood. Metastatic WT has a worse prognosis than localized disease. This study aims to assess the clinical outcome and different prognostic factors that influence treatment outcome of pediatric metastatic WT cases treated at National Cancer Institute (NCI), Egypt, between January 2008 and December 2015. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for clinical, radiological and histopathological data, treatment received, and survival outcome. RESULTS In the specified study period, 24/103 (23.3%) patients with WT were metastatic at presentation. The mean age was 5.25 ± 2.87 years (range 2.0-12.7). Abdominal swelling/mass was the commonest presentation (70.8%). Only 3 patients (12.5%) had combined lung and liver metastases while 21 patients (87.5%) had pulmonary-only metastases. All patients had favorable histology tumors with no anaplasia. Nine patients (37.5%) underwent upfront nephrectomy. Majority of patients (91.7%) had local stage III disease. Surgical complications were reported in 4 patients; 3 of them had up-front nephrectomy. Only 7/21 patients achieved rapid complete response of pulmonary nodules after 6 weeks of chemotherapy (CTH), and they had a better survival outcome. Patients were followed up till December 2017. Thirteen patients (54.1%) experienced events during the study period including 5 relapses, 6 cases with disease progression, and 2 patients died out of sepsis. The 3-year event-free and overall survival rates were 48.2% and 54.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION Neo-adjuvant CTH followed by delayed nephrectomy seems more suitable approach in our institute. Pulmonary response to neo-adjuvant CTH appears to be a strong predictor for outcome.

Abstract
To identify prognostic factors, array CGH (aCGH) patterns and mutations in WT1 and 9 other genes were analyzed in 128 unilateral Wilms tumors (WTs). Twenty patients had no aCGH aberrations, and 31 had WT1 alterations [silent and WT1 types: relapse-free survival (RFS), 95% and 83%, respectively]. Seventy-seven patients had aCGH changes without WT1 alterations (nonsilent/non-WT1 type) and were subtyped into those with or without +12, 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss. RFS was better for those with than those without +12 (P = .010) and worse for those with than those without 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss (P = .001, .025, or 1.2E-04, respectively). Silent and WT1 type and 8 subtype tumors were integrated and classified into 3 risk groups: low risk for the silent type and +12 subgroup; high risk for the no +12 plus 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss subgroup; intermediate risk for the WT1 type and no +12 plus no 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss subgroup. Among the 27 WTs examined, the expression of 146 genes on chromosome 12 was stronger in +12 tumors than in no +12 tumors, while that of 10 genes on 16q was weaker in 16q- tumors than in no 16q- tumors. Overexpression in 75 out of 146 upregulated genes and underexpression in 7 out of 10 downregulated genes correlated with better and worse overall survival, respectively, based on the public database. +12 was identified as a potential new marker predicting a favorable outcome, and chromosome abnormalities may be related to altered gene expression associated with these abnormalities.

Fetal Pediatr Pathol 2016; 35:287-298.

Abstract
MiR-197 is frequently upregulated to induce a series of oncogenic effects, which is closely associated with poor survival and prognosis of multiple malignancies. However, the roles of miR-197 in tumorigenesis and the detailed molecular mechanism in Wilms tumor (WT) have rarely been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of miR-197 in WT in vivo and the potential effects of miR-197 on the proliferation and apoptosis in SK-NEP-1 cells. A total of 15 patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of WT and 15 paraneoplastic controls were enrolled. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) identified the upregulation of miR-197 and downregulation of insulin-like growth factors binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) in WT tissues in comparison with adjacent normal tissue (p < 0.001). CCK-8 and flow cytometry assay found that inhibition of miR-197 caused a significantly reduced proliferation along with a dramatically enhanced apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 cells (p < 0.01). IGFBP3 was overexpressed in SK-NEP-1 cells by pEGFP-C1-IGFBP3 plasmid transfection. Overexpression of IGFBP3 suppressed the proliferation and induced the apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 cells (p < 0.01). Further study detected the decreased IGFBP3 expression with miR-197 mimics SK-NEP-1 cells and increased IGFBP3 expression with miR-197 inhibitor SK-NEP-1 cells compared with mock (p < 0.01). Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed a direct interaction between miR-197 and 3'-UTR site of IGFBP3. Overall, the above results indicated that miR-197 targeted IGFBP3 to induce the overgrowth and anti-apoptotic effects of WT cells, which could promote nephroblastoma tumorigenesis. Therefore, miR-197 may be further assessed as a potential target for the treatment of WT.
