OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the survival of children with Wilms tumor and other malignant renal tumors treated with the TWPINDA-99 protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 1999 and December 2013, 226 patients were registered on this trial, based on National Wilms Tumor Study-5. Patient characteristics and survival were evaluated. RESULTS: Two hundred seven patients were diagnosed with Wilms tumor, which represented 91.6% of renal tumors. The male to female ratio was 0.7:1. The median age at diagnosis was 3.3 years. Stage III was the most frequent (39.2%). Metastatic disease was present in 16.7% of the cases. Synchronous bilateral disease was observed in 9.3% of the cases. Favorable histology was diagnosed in 93.6% and anaplastic histology in 6.4% of the patients. Median follow-up was 7.5 years. Ten-year event-free survival and overall survival (OS) for assessable patients with Wilms tumor (n=192) were 82.0% and 89.9%, respectively. OS for patients with stage I was 100% (n=36), stage II: 97.1% (n=35), stage III: 88.6% (n=71), stage IV: 77.9% (n=32), and stage V: 80.8% (n=18). OS for favorable histology (n=180) and anaplastic histology tumors (n=12) were 91.0% and 72.9%, respectively. Other malignant renal tumors had a poorer survival. CONCLUSION: Prognosis for patients with Wilms tumor treated on TWPINDA-99 seems to be better than previous national trials and is similar to developed countries.
