Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Bilateral Wilms tumors require effective treatment strategies.
  • Partial nephrectomy combined with chemotherapy is a leading approach.

Observation:

  • This study presents two cases of bilateral Wilms tumors.
  • Bilateral synchronous Wilms tumors occur in 4.2% of cases.
  • Bilateral metachronous Wilms tumors occur in 1.6% of cases.

Findings:

  • Stage V synchronous bilateral Wilms tumors demonstrate an excellent prognosis.
  • Survival rates exceed 87% for synchronous bilateral Wilms tumors.
  • Survival rates are approximately 40% for metachronous bilateral Wilms tumors.

Implications:

  • The findings highlight the superior prognosis of synchronous bilateral Wilms tumors.
  • This underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment.
  • Optimized treatment protocols may further improve outcomes for both types.
