  • Title: [Wilms' tumor in adults].
    Author: Knispel H, Dieckmann KP, Henze G, Loy V.
    Journal: Urologe A; 1990 Jul; 29(4):226-9; discussion 213-4. PubMed ID: 2169086.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of metastatic nephroblastoma on the right side in a 28-year-old female patient is presented. Complete remission was achieved by inductive chemotherapy with vincristine, Adriamycin, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide and subsequent radical nephrectomy. There was no evidence of disease 24 months after the initial diagnosis had been made. The problems specific to the diagnosis and treatment of adult Wilms tumor are discussed. A chemotherapy regimen known to be successful in childhood Wilms tumor was shown to be equally effective in our adult patient.
