Title: Patterns of intra-abdominal relapse (IAR) in patients with Wilms' tumor who received radiation: analysis by histopathology. A report of National Wilms' tumor studies 1 and 2 (NWTS-1 and 2)

Journal Article · · Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)

336 non-metastatic patients who received radiation in national Wilms' Tumor Study-1 and 2 have been reviewed. Follow-up was minimum of two years. 15/273 (6%) of the favorable history patients had intra-abdominal relapse as compared to 8/44 unfavorable histology (18%) (P = 0.003). Developing intra-abdominal relapse does not seem related to low radiation therapy doses or small volumes. However, a delay of greater than ten days to start radiation therapy from nephrectomy was related to the occurrence of intra-abdominal relapse in unfavorable histology patients (P < 0.001).
