Long‐term outcome of bilateral Wilms tumors (BWT)

Abstract

Long-term 10-year overall survival was 78%. There was significant morbidity (13/25, 52%), in terms of renal failure (8/25, 32%) including renal transplantation (5/25, 20%), and secondary tumors (5/25). These findings necessitate long-term follow-up beyond childhood. Future work should be directed at reducing the harmful effects of treatment, including the increased use of NSS.
