In the majority of European countries, children with renal tumors now enter the SIOP-93-01 Trial and Study. The objective of this Study is to refine methods of treatment especialy in stage I patients. The role of institutional pathologists is important in this trial. There are new criteria for stages I and II, a new SIOP Working Classification of Renal Tumors of Childhood, and morphologic and prognostic similarities of pretreated and non-pretreated anaplastic cases. Specific problems encountered in assessing tumors treated with preoperative chemotherapy, administered to the majority of children over 6 months of age entering the SIOP Study, are discussed. The identification of a new low-risk group, the completely necrotic Wilms tumor, is outlined.

PURPOSE The Sixth International Society of Pediatric Oncology study (SIOP6) concerned Wilms' tumor with favorable histology, preoperatively treated to obtain a high rate of stage I patients, and sought to reduce treatment for patients with stage I and stage II negative nodes (IIN0) tumors and to find better therapy to prevent relapses in stage II positive nodes (IIN1) and stage III patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients (N = 509) had received four weekly doses of vincristine (VCR) and two courses of dactinomycin (AMD) preoperatively and were assigned after surgery, according to stage and lymph node involvement, to three different prognostic groups, which were to be randomized. Stage I patients (n = 303) received VCR and AMD either for 17 weeks (S) or 38 weeks (L). Stage IIN0 patients (n = 123) received either 20 Gy irradiation (R+) or no irradiation (R-) and received VCR and AMD for 38 weeks. Stage IIN1 and III patients (n = 83) received intensified VCR and AMD (INTVCR) versus VCR, AMD, and Adriamycin (ADRIA; Doxorubicin Farmitalia Carbo Erba, Rueil, Malmaison, France; doxorubicin). Assessment criteria were 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year survival (SURV) percentages. A stopping rule was added that took into account abdominal recurrences for the stage IIN0 trial. RESULT A 52% rate of stage I tumors was obtained, with a low rate of ruptures (7%). The 2-year DFS and 5-year SURV rates according to the different therapeutic groups were stage I, 92% versus 88% (equivalent) and 95% versus 92% for S and L, respectively; stage IIN0, 72% versus 78% (stage equivalent) and 88% versus 85% for R+ and R-, respectively; and stage IIN1 and stage III, 49% versus 74% (P < .029) and 77% versus 80% for INTVCR and ADRIA, respectively, which results in an 82% DFS and 89% SURV rate for the entire trial population. However, six abdominal metastases observed during the first year of follow-up (FU) in the R- group versus none in the R+ group resulted in discontinuation of the stage IIN0 trial. CONCLUSION Risk-adapted therapy to limit risk of sequelae is possible. More intensive chemotherapy is necessary to prevent abdominal recurrences in nonirradiated stage IIN0 patients treated preoperatively. A three-drug protocol is necessary in stage IIN1 and stage III patients.

Around 6% of all childhood malignancies represent renal tumors, of which a majority includes Wilms tumor (WT). Although survival rates have improved over the last decades, specific patients are still at risk for adverse outcome. In the Netherlands, since 2015, pediatric oncology care for renal tumors has been centralized in the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology. Here, we describe experiences of the first 5 years of centralized care and explore whether this influences the epidemiological landscape by comparing data with the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). We identified all patients <19 years with a renal mass diagnosed between 01-01-2015 and 31-12-2019 in the Princess Máxima Center. Epidemiology, characteristics and management were analyzed. We identified 164 patients (including 1 patient who refused consent for registration), in our center with a suspicion of a renal tumor. The remaining 163 cases included WT (n = 118)/cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (n = 2)/nephrogenic rests only (n = 6) and non-WT (n = 37). In this period, the NCR included 138 children, 1 17-year-old patient was not referred to the Princess Máxima Center. Central radiology review (before starting treatment) was performed in 121/163 patients, and central pathology review in 148/152 patients that underwent surgery. Treatment stratification, according to SIOP/EpSSG protocols was pursued based on multidisciplinary consensus. Preoperative chemotherapy was administered in 133 patients, whereas 19 patients underwent upfront surgery. Surgery was performed in 152 patients, and from 133 biomaterial was stored. Centralization of care for children with renal tumors led to referral of all but 1 new renal tumor cases in the Netherlands, and leads to referral of very rare subtypes not registered in the NCR, that benefit from high quality diagnostics and multidisciplinary decision making. National centralization of care led to enhanced development of molecular diagnostics and other innovation-based treatments for the future.

Wilms tumor is the most common primary renal tumor in childhood. Children with Wilms tumor typically present with an asymptomatic abdominal mass, usually detected on a routine medical checkup or discovered coincidentally by parents. The initial differential diagnosis is with extrarenal abdominal masses; once a tumor of renal origin is established, distinguishing between Wilms tumor and other primary renal neoplasms such as congenital mesoblastic nephroma, clear cell sarcoma, malignant rhabdoid tumor and renal cell carcinoma may not be easy. However, in many cases imaging findings in conjunction with the patient's clinical and epidemiological data, allow the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. Wilms tumor care offers one of the most striking examples of success of pediatric oncology. Over the last decades the European SIOP studies have been the key to developing standardized diagnostic procedures, improved risk stratification, and adjusted treatment recommendations for children with Wilms tumor and this has resulted rate of overall survival is currently greater than 90%. As in previous SIOP trials and studies, the new protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood renal tumors, the UMBRELLA SIOP–RTSG 2016, mandates preoperative chemotherapy without preceding mandatory histological assessment. Therefore, imaging studies are essential to obtain a presumptive diagnosis of WT, to provide disease staging information and to measure the tumor volume after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the purposes of postoperative treatment stratification. This review describes role of imaging in the management of children with Wilms tumor, according to the current recommendations of the UMBRELLA protocol.
