“…The NCI, in association with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), works to guide all state registries to achieve data compatibility acceptable for pooling data and improving national estimates. SEER has been previously used to report outcomes for a wide variety of pediatric malignancies [23][24][25][26][27][28]. In addition, SEER captures more cases of childhood cancer than the Children's Cancer Group (CCG) and the Pediatric Oncology Group (POC).…”

Objective: We sought to determine the impact of number of lymph nodes examined on survival for Wilms tumor (WT). Methods: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results and Florida Cancer Data System were queried for patients < 20 years of age with WT. Results: Of 1805 WT patients, 1340 had lymph node (LN) data available following surgery. The mean age for the cohort was 3.3 ± 2.8 y. Most patients were White (78%), and non-Hispanic (78%). A total of 297 patients (22%) had 0 LN sampled, while 697 (52%) had 1-5 LN, 210 (16%) had 6-10 LN, and 136 (10%) had > 10 LN. Overall 5-y survival was 91%. By univariate analysis, 5-y survival was significantly lower for patients with 0 LN sampled (87% versus 91% 1-5 LN; 93% 6-10 LN; 95% > 10 LN, P = 0.005). Multivariate analysis confirmed a survival advantage for patients having 1-5 LN (HR 0.600, P = 0.016), 6-10 LN (HR 0.521, P = 0.048), and > 10 LN (HR 0.403, P = 0.039) compared with patients with 0 LN examined. Conclusion: Failure to biopsy lymph nodes for WT patients not only increases the risk of local recurrence due to understaging and inadequate adjuvant therapy, but is also an independent prognostic indicator of lower survival.

“…A more refined description of these complex relationships is an important step in determining whether their origins are through biological or social mechanisms [23,24]. Understanding the causes of these associations may ultimately help translate this work into new prevention and treatment strategies [25,26].…”
