  • Title: Wilms' tumor in an adult.
    Author: Greco AO, Perry MC.
    Journal: South Med J; 1981 May; 74(5):622-4. PubMed ID: 6264631.
    Abstract:
    We have described an adult with Wilms' tumor treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Although the patient responded initially, he died 17 months after diagnosis. A review of the literature in English disclosed only six other adults with Wilms' tumor similarly treated. Only two were long-term survivors, both treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Adult Wilms' tumor is rare and carries a more pessimistic prognosis than in children, but it is responsive to radiation and combination chemotherapy.
