Combination Chemotherapy and Surgery in Treating Young Patients With Wilms Tumor (AREN0534)

This collection contains data from the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Clinical Trial NCT00945009 , “Combination Chemotherapy and Surgery in Treating Young Patients With Wilms Tumor, " Study Chair: Peter F. Ehrlich, M.D. M.S.C. It was sponsored by NCI and performed by the Children's Oncology Group under study number AREN0534This phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and surgery work in treating young patients with Wilms tumor. Children with bilateral Wilms tumor account for 5-7% of all patients with Wilms tumor. Certain patients, with syndromes associated with Wilms tumor development, have been identified to be at increased risk for bilateral tumors. Due to an increased risk for renal failure, patients with bilateral disease at presentation are treated with preoperative chemotherapy in order to preserve renal parenchyma. Although this recommendation was made nearly 30 years ago, patients with bilateral tumors have not been formally studied in prior cooperative trials.
