New Criteria

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.

A Prospective Study

The International Society of Pediatric Oncology (ISPO) is planning a clinical therapeutic trial on nephroblastoma in Europe. Large agreement exists on the treatment of these tumors; the principal modalities are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, there are some unanswered questions as to the value of different forms of administration of radiation and chemotherapy, which we feel could best be elucidated by a prospective study in the form of a clinical trial. A trial has been going on in the United States for 2 years.

Abstract 44 Purpose: Globally, nurses caring for children and adolescents with cancer work in diverse practice settings. Nurses in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are challenged by the limited scope of their professional practice, resources and education. Opportunities for education, networking and professional growth inspire and empower nurses to improve the care of patients and families. Nurses are key members of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP), which provides ongoing professional development. In 2010, the SIOP Pediatric Oncology in Developing Countries Committee's Nursing Working Group was formed to support and learn from nurses working in LMIC. Methods: Utilizing the Cure4Kids website from St Jude, the group holds monthly business and educational meetings and continues to network and collaborate on numerous projects. PODC Nursing Working Group recently published baseline standards for pediatric oncology nursing care in LMIC. A survey will now assess the implementation of baseline standards. LMIC nurses are being mentored to write abstracts and grants to increase global recognition of their work. In addition, an education repository of teaching materials is being established. Summary: The PODC Nursing Working Group and project groups are well established and achieving project deadlines. Educational programs including topics on abandonment, nursing in LMIC and abstracts have been well received by both nurses and physicians from LMIC and HIC. Challenges have included internet connectivity and scheduling meetings during daylight hours across the multiple time zones. Following the launch of monthly meetings in late 2015, our membership has increased by 20% from 61 to 76 members from 29 countries. Conclusions: The SIOP PODC Nursing Group has created a sustainable nursing community and continues to work collaboratively beyond the annual conference. The compassion and commitment to support patients and their families by providing the best care possible is the common thread for pediatric oncology nurses.
