Abstract
Shyam SrinivasanBackground Cure rates of childhood malignancies are inferior in India compared with upper-middle-income countries. There is paucity of quality data addressing outcome of childhood Wilms tumor (WT) from India. This systematic review was conducted to assess the disease trends, treatment strategies, and outcome indicators in WT across India. Materials and Methods We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS database, and additionally screened International Society of Pediatric Oncology conference abstracts. Data concerning WT or nephroblastoma published from India were extracted. Results A total of 17 studies containing 1,170 patients were included in this review. Ninety-four percent of the studies were published after the year 2010. Advanced stage (III and IV) disease was seen in 46% of included patients. In seven studies, patients underwent a pretreatment biopsy before commencement of therapy. A hybrid approach consisting of "surgery first" in a selected subset and "neo-adjuvant chemotherapy" in all others was the most common treatment strategy adopted in half of the studies. The overall survival ranged between 48 and 89%. Key prognostic factors influencing survival across studies included increased tumor volume, metastatic disease, and unfavorable histology. Nonrelapse mortality (2.7-8.5%) was noted to be high. Conclusion Substantial proportion of children with WT from India present with advanced stages of the disease. Despite several limitations, the current systematic review showed a modest survival among Indian children with WT. Adopting strategies through collaboration to ensure early access to expert care along with involvement of social support team to improve compliance may further improve survival of WT in India.

Abstract
Survival of unilateral Wilms tumors (WTs) is exceeding 90%, whereas bilateral WTs have an inferior outcome. We evaluated all Dutch patients with bilateral kidney tumors, treated in the first five years of national centralization and reviewed relevant literature. We identified 24 patients in our center (2015–2020), 23 patients had WT/nephroblastomatosis and one renal cell carcinoma. Patients were treated according to SIOP-RTSG protocols. Chemotherapy response was observed in 26/34 WTs. Nephroblastomatosis lesions were stable (n = 7) or showed response (n = 18). Nephron-sparing surgery was performed in 11/22 patients undergoing surgery (n = 2 kidneys positive margins). Local stage in 20 patients with ≥1 WT revealed stage I (n = 7), II (n = 4) and III (n = 9). Histology was intermediate risk in 15 patients and high risk in 5. Three patients developed a WT in a treated nephroblastomatosis lesion. Two of 24 patients died following toxicity and renal failure, i.e., respectively dialysis-related invasive fungal infection and septic shock. Genetic predisposition was confirmed in 18/24 patients. Our literature review revealed that knowledge is scarce on bilateral renal tumor patients with metastases and that radiotherapy seems important for local stage III patients. Bilateral renal tumors are a therapeutic challenge. We describe management and outcome in a national expert center and summarized available literature, serving as baseline for further improvement of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wilms' tumor(WT) is the most common malignant renal tumor of childhood. Despite the good prognosis of WT, bilateral Wilms' tumor (BWT) still has a poor outcome. We systematically reviewed the literature on BWT, aiming to define its clinical features, treatment, and outcomes. METHODS PubMed, OVID EMbase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies published from 1980 to 2017. Case series and comparative studies reported clinical data of BWT patients were included. RESULTS A total of 32 studies comprising 1457 patients were retained for primary outcome. Hemihypertrophy, cryptorchidism, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome(BWS) are the most common congenital anomalies and syndrome. 86% of patients had favorable histology (FH). Patients with local stage I or II accounted for 64%, and 12.6% had metastasis at diagnosis. Bilateral nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) was achieved in 33.8%. Recurrence and renal failure occurred in 20% and 8%. The overall survival (OS) was 73%. In comparative studies, OS of patients undergoing bilateral NSS was similar to that of other operation types. CONCLUSION Prognosis of BWT has been improved but is significantly poorer than WT. Bilateral NSS was recommended by most centers to preserve more renal volume. However, finding a balance between retaining renal function and avoiding recurrence remains a question. TYPE OF STUDY Systematic review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has been proposed by many as an alternative to bilateral nephrectomies and renal replacement therapy in bilateral Wilms’ tumor (BWT). NSS is not without significant recurrence, morbidity, and mortality. Long-term follow-up, especially with regard to the renal function, remains lacking. Preoperative computed tomography angiogram can help prepare a roadmap for NSS but can underestimate the salvageable parenchyma due to compression of normal adjacent parenchyma. Intraoperative ultrasound can delineate the boundary of surgical margin and help achieve negative margins. We present two cases of BWT, aged 7 and 13 months, managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by bilateral NSS and adjuvant chemotherapy and report the follow-up of the same. We also explore the role of preoperative imaging and intraoperative ultrasound in the management. Both patients are alive without recurrence at a follow-up of 12 and 8 months.

Abstract
AIMS Wilms tumor (WT) is rare in Asia. Treatment of bilateral WT is challenging, and the treatment outcome of bilateral WT is rarely reported in low incidence areas. METHODS We enrolled patients with bilateral WT registered in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan, between January 1986 and June 2015. They were treated according to the Taiwan Pediatric Oncology Group (TPOG) protocols. The clinical features and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Six patients with histologically-proved bilateral WT were identified for analysis. One additional patient who was diagnosed with unilateral WT-associated intralobar nephrogenic rest, in addition to two small lesions in the contralateral kidney, was also included. There were total of three male patients and four female patients. The median follow-up period was 19 years (range 8-29 years). Five patients underwent initial biopsy and preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery, whereas two patients underwent initial surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Local recurrence was found in two patients. The 8-year event-free survival and overall survival rates were 71.4% and 100%, respectively. Two patients developed advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, but none had been diagnosed with secondary malignant neoplasm. Other health issues such as hypertension, scoliosis and unspecified autoimmune disease were also found. CONCLUSIONS The treatment outcome in this study is comparably superior to other western countries. However, survivors of bilateral WT still have many chronic health issues and thereby need individualized long-term medical care.
