Abstract EN
This is a retrospective study designed to find out the clinical profile of children with Wilms’ tumor admitted to King Hussein Medical Center over a 6.5-year period.
There were 26 patients (eight males and 18 females) with a median age of three years (range 1-8 years), at the time of diagnosis.
Twenty children went into complete remission for a period ranging from 4-80 months (mean 46 months).
Six children relapsed locally or with distant metastasis.
All the six children with relapse died because of progressive disease.
The overall relapse free survival was 77 % for all stages (100 %, 90 %, 66.6 %, 0 % and 100 % for stage I, II, III, IV and V respectively).
This is similar to the international figures for stage I & II but is still behind for stage III & IV.
