Résumé

Completely necrotic Wilms tumor (CN-WT) following preoperative chemotherapy has been regarded as low-risk WT since the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) 93-01 study, and patients have been treated with reduced postoperative therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the omission of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with localized CN-WT stage I and radiotherapy in stage III was safe. The retrospective observational study of outcomes of patients diagnosed with localized CN-WT on central pathology review and treated according to the SIOP 93-01 and SIOP-WT-2001 protocols (1993-2022). There were 125 patients with localized CN-WT: 90 with stage I, 10 with stage II, and 25 with stage III. Sixty-two of 125 (49.6%) patients had a discrepant diagnosis and/or staging between the institutional pathologist and central pathology review. In the group of 90 patients with stage I, postoperative chemotherapy was not given to 41 (46%) patients, whereas 49 patients received postoperative chemotherapy-in the latter group, two patients relapsed, and one of them died. One stage I and one stage II patient developed chemotherapy-induced toxicity and died. Nineteen of 25 patients with stage III received no flank radiotherapy. No stage III patient relapsed or died. The overall 5-year event-free survival (EFS) estimate for the entire cohort (stages I-III) was 96.8% [95% confidence interval, CI: 93.6%-99.6%] and the overall survival (OS) was 97.6% [95% CI: 95.0-100%]. The EFS and OS were 97% and 98%, respectively, for stage I, and 100% for stage III. Omission of postoperative chemotherapy for patients with CN-WT stage I, and radiotherapy for stage III is safe. Rapid central pathology review is required to assign appropriate treatment and avoid treatment-related side effects.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Completely necrotic Wilms tumor (CN-WT) following preoperative chemotherapy has been regarded as low-risk WT since the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) 93-01 study, and patients have been treated with reduced postoperative therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the omission of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with localized CN-WT stage I and radiotherapy in stage III was safe.
PATIENTS AND METHODS METHODS
The retrospective observational study of outcomes of patients diagnosed with localized CN-WT on central pathology review and treated according to the SIOP 93-01 and SIOP-WT-2001 protocols (1993-2022).
RESULTS RESULTS
There were 125 patients with localized CN-WT: 90 with stage I, 10 with stage II, and 25 with stage III. Sixty-two of 125 (49.6%) patients had a discrepant diagnosis and/or staging between the institutional pathologist and central pathology review. In the group of 90 patients with stage I, postoperative chemotherapy was not given to 41 (46%) patients, whereas 49 patients received postoperative chemotherapy-in the latter group, two patients relapsed, and one of them died. One stage I and one stage II patient developed chemotherapy-induced toxicity and died. Nineteen of 25 patients with stage III received no flank radiotherapy. No stage III patient relapsed or died. The overall 5-year event-free survival (EFS) estimate for the entire cohort (stages I-III) was 96.8% [95% confidence interval, CI: 93.6%-99.6%] and the overall survival (OS) was 97.6% [95% CI: 95.0-100%]. The EFS and OS were 97% and 98%, respectively, for stage I, and 100% for stage III.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Omission of postoperative chemotherapy for patients with CN-WT stage I, and radiotherapy for stage III is safe. Rapid central pathology review is required to assign appropriate treatment and avoid treatment-related side effects.
