Journal ArticleDOI

Revised International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) working classification of renal tumors of childhood.

TL;DR: The results of the latest International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) trials and studies showed that certain histological features which remain after preoperative chemotherapy, such as blastema, are of prognostic significance while others are not as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimal Duration of Preoperative Therapy in Unilateral and Nonmetastatic Wilms’ Tumor in Children Older Than 6 Months: Results of the Ninth International Society of Pediatric Oncology Wilms’ Tumor Trial and Study

TL;DR: The 4-week schedule pre-nephrectomy chemotherapy regimen should be considered the standard treatment and should continue to improve the cure rate of high-risk patients and the quality of life of children with a more favorable prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and regulation of the pattern recognition receptors Toll-like receptor-2 and Toll-like receptor-4 in the human placenta.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism for the fetoplacental unit to interact with micro‐organisms is suggested, which shows a strong immunoreactivity for TLR2 and TLR4 in the villous and the intermediate trophoblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of preoperative chemotherapy in Wilms' tumor: results of an International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) clinical trial.

TL;DR: Preoperative chemotherapy is as good as preoperative radiotherapy in terms of prevention of tumor rupture, and 43% of an unselected population of patients with Wilms' tumor could be treated without any radiotherapy when chemotherapy had been given preoperatively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of postoperative chemotherapy in children with stage I intermediate-risk and anaplastic Wilms' tumour (SIOP 93-01 trial): a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: Whether postoperative chemotherapy for patients with stage I intermediate-risk and anaplastic Wilms' tumour could be shortened to only 4 weeks from the standard 18 weeks, while maintaining equivalent event-free survival is assessed.
