A higher tumor volume and undernutrition at diagnosis adversely affect the survival of children with Wilms tumor : A study of 200 patients

BACKGROUND: Distinct prognostic factors for Wilms tumor (WT) in low- and middle-income countries need identification.

METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with WT managed by the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) approach for over 11 years (2005-2016) at a single center in Chandigarh, India.

RESULTS: The study included 200 patients (median age: 33.5 months). The tumor stage (SIOP) distribution included stage I (30%), II (36%), III (14%), IV (17%), and V (3%). The histology-risk groups were low (8%), intermediate (84%), and high risk (9%). At diagnosis, 68 out of 190 (36%) patients were underweight. The median tumor volume at diagnosis was 481 ml (interquartile ratio [IQR]: 306.9, 686.8, n = 146). Following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, it reduced to 110 ml (IQR: 151.2, 222, n = 77). Treatment was abandoned in 20.5% of the patients. Treatment-related mortality occurred in 13 of 179 (7.2%) patients. Relapse occurred in 26 of 158 (16.5%) patients. The 3-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) of patients who completed therapy were 78.3 and 72%, respectively. The stage (p = .013) and histology (p = .023) influenced OS. A lower OS in stage II (75.4%) versus stage III disease (83.7%) suggested understaging. Patients with a higher tumor volume at diagnosis (p = .005; odds ratio [OR]: 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.00) or a lower weight-for-age z-score (p = .002; OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.21-2.33) had an increased risk of death or relapse.

CONCLUSIONS: The 3-year OS and EFS of children who completed therapy were 78.3 and 72%, respectively. A higher tumor volume and lower weight-for-age z-score at diagnosis were identified as distinct adverse prognostic factors. A likely suboptimal lymph node assessment (intraoperative and histopathology) contributed to the understaging of stage III to II disease and reduced survival.
