Abstract

Close cooperation of pediatric surgeons and pediatric oncologists with radiotherapists, using coordinated treatment schedules conformable to the stage of the disease, and combining tumor nephrectomy, postoperative irradiation and the treatment with AMD and Vincristine, has increased the 3-year survival rate from 27% (13 of 49) up to 67% (14 of 21) for children with Wilm's tumor.
