[Ambulatory chemo- and radiotherapy in the complex therapy of nephroblastoma in children]

The paper discusses application of out-patient procedures for complex treatment of pediatric nephroblastoma. The data on 101 out-patients with nephroblastoma were analysed. Out-patient prophylactic chemotherapy was not accompanied by higher rates of toxic or side-effects. It improved patients' general condition and reduced tension in their families. More primary patients could be hospitalized. Among the basic indications for certain procedures for treatment of nephroblastoma on the out-patient basis are: fair general condition, absence of severe complications in the hospital case history, parents' readiness to nurse, age over 18 months and stage II disease.
