ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most frequent renal tumor in childhood. Therapeutic management progression has increased survival rates, and as a result, long-term adverse effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive retrospective study of a case series from 1977 to 2023 was carried out. The characteristics of the treatments received and the adverse effects listed on medical records were analyzed via phone surveys. RESULTS: 50 patients (25 boys-25 girls) with a mean age of 3.6 years (3 months-11 years) at diagnosis were included. Most of them (94%) were treated according to the protocol established by the European standards of pediatric oncology, which are characterized by the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In one patient, the American treatment scheme was followed. The most common drugs used were vincristine and actinomycin D (78%). Only 12 patients (28%) received anthracyclines. Unilateral nephrectomy was the most frequent surgical technique (84%). Renal disorders were the most common (46%). However, the occurrence of second neoplasias (9%) and reproductive disorders (8% between boys and girls) had a greater impact on patients' quality of life. Multiple - cardiac (23%), endocrine (26%), and pulmonary (15%) - disorders associated with the treatments received were reported. CONCLUSIONS: WT treatment has an impact on health. Adequate and rigorous surgery, close follow-up, and limiting chemotherapy doses and radiation exposure can minimize long-term sequels.


INTRODUCCION: El tumor de Wilms (TW) es el tumor renal más frecuente en la infancia. La evolución del manejo terapéutico ha incrementado la tasa de supervivencia y como consecuencia, los efectos secundarios a largo plazo. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo a partir de una serie de casos entre 1977 y 2023. Estudiamos las características de los tratamientos recibidos y los efectos secundarios que constan en su historia clínica y a través de cuestionarios telefónicos. RESULTADOS: Localizamos 50 pacientes (25 hombres-25 mujeres) con edad media al diagnóstico de 3,6 años (3 meses-11 años). La mayoría fueron tratados según protocolo vigente de las guías europeas de oncología pediátrica (94%) caracterizadas por el uso de quimioterapia neoadyuvante. En un paciente Se siguió el esquema americano de tratamiento. Los fármacos más utilizados fueron vincristina y actinomicina D (78%); solo 12 pacientes (28%) recibieron antraciclinas. La nefrectomía unilateral fue la técnica quirúrgica más empleada (84%). Las alteraciones renales fueron las más frecuentes (46%). Sin embargo, la aparición de segundas neoplasias (9%) y aquellas alteraciones relacionadas con la reproducción (8% entre hombres y mujeres) suponen un mayor impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Se describen múltiples alteraciones: cardíacas (23%), endocrinas (26%) o pulmonares (15%) relacionadas con los tratamientos recibidos. CONCLUSIONES: El tratamiento del TW afecta a la salud general. Una cirugía adecuada y rigurosa, limitar las dosis de quimioterapia, minimizar la exposición a la radiación y un seguimiento estrecho puede minimizar las secuelas a largo plazo.
