Assessing kidney and liver function, complete blood count (CBC), and urinalysis.
Radiation-induced scoliosis, musculoskeletal hypoplasia, or secondary malignancies.
Radical nephrectomy with lymph node sampling remains the cornerstone of definitive treatment.
The overall survival rate for children with favorable histology Wilms tumor now exceeds 90 percent. However, long-term survivorship care is essential. Survivors are at risk for late effects, including renal dysfunction, cardiotoxicity from Doxorubicin, and secondary malignancies. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, renal function, and cardiac health is a lifetime requirement for these patients. Summary for Presentations
For a "new" PPT, these specific details from authoritative sources can add depth:
: Defines tumor boundaries, local invasion, lymph node involvement, and bilateral disease. MRI is superior for evaluating intravascular tumor thrombi.
have pulmonary metastases (spread to lungs) at the time of diagnosis. 2. Genetics & Syndromic Associations
Derived from persistent metanephric blastema (embryonic kidney precursor cells) and classically exhibits a triphasic histologic pattern (blastemal, stromal, and epithelial components).
Emerging mutations implicated in poorer outcomes and blastemal-predominant subtypes. 3. Pathophysiology and Histopathology
Favorable histology shows the classic triphasic pattern consisting of blastemal, stromal, and epithelial cells. This group has a high cure rate. Unfavorable histology is characterized by anaplasia—extreme nuclear pleomorphism and hyperchromasia. Anaplasia is a significant predictor of resistance to chemotherapy and a poorer prognosis.
: Evaluates tumor extent, contralateral kidney status, and local lymph node involvement.
