Comparison between single-dose and divided-dose administration of dactinomycin and doxorubicin for patients with Wilms' tumor: a report from the National Wilms' Tumor Study Group.

Abstract: We conclude that patients treated with PI combination chemotherapy for LR or HR WT or clear cell sarcoma of the kidney have equivalent 2-year RFS to those treated with STD regimens. PI drug administration is recommended as the new standard based on demonstrated efficacy, greater administered dose-intensity, less severe hematologic toxicity, and the requirement for fewer physician and hospital encounters.

“…The outcome for children with Wilms tumor (WT) has improved significantly with the refinement of multimodal therapy and overall survival (OS) rates are now approaching 90% [1][2][3]. These results support the strong value of the multidisciplinary team approach to cancer.…”

“…22 The listed year of diagnosis was used to categorize the patients into 1 of 4 treatment eras between 1973 and 2007 defined by the publication years of the NWTS 2, 3, and 4 trials. [24][25][26] Patient parameters were statistically compared between age groups to assess for variable heterogeneity. The continuous variables were statistically compared with the Student t test, and categorical variables were compared with Pearson's chi-square test except when the data set Original Article was relatively small, in which case the Fisher exact test was used.…”

“…The SIOP report included only 30 adult patients compared with 847 pediatric patients in the SIOP 93-01 trial publication, representing approximately 3%. 26,31 This difference in adult proportions between the SEER and trial group databases likely stems from the reluctance of adult oncologists, who may not have established institutional ties with either NWTS or SIOP, to register adult patients on a specific protocol. The current study is based on the SEER database, which includes a cohort of patients from geographically diverse rural and urban areas treated in academic and community practice settings and likely not treated on any specific trial.…”
