• Wilms tumor • Diffuse anaplasia • Local stage III • Overall stage V

Wilms Tumor Wilms Tumor Points to Remember • National Wilms Tumor Study (NWTS) • Clear cell sarcoma and rhabdoid tumor are – Established in 1969 NOT Wilms tumor variants – Three studies complete • “Unfavorable histology” – Preliminary data from the fourth – Anaplasia is the only criterion – Survival risen from 20% to 90% – Fifth activated June 1995 closed June 2002 • Therapeutic trial and biologic study
57 58
Wilms Tumor Wilms Tumor “Unfavorable histology” “Unfavorable histology” • Diffuse anaplasia • Gigantic polyploid nuclei – Any extrarenal site – Size three times those of adjacent cells AND – Any random biopsy specimen – Multipolar/polyploid mitotic figures – Anaplasia in one region but with “extreme • New definition of focal anaplasia nuclear unrest” elsewhere – “Sharply restricted foci within the primary – Anaplasia in more than one tumor slide, unless tumor” • Every slide from same region • Minute foci surrounded by non-anaplastic tumor • Anaplasia same significance in treated

Hepatoblastoma Hepatoblastoma Stages Cytohistologic Types Surgical and Histologic Criteria • Fetal (favorable histology if pure) • Stage I • Embryonal – Gross total resection with clear margins • Fetal/embryonal • Stage II • Mixed (epithelial + mesenchymal) – Gross total resection with positive margins • Stage III • Macrotrabecular – Gross total resection with + lymph nodes or • Fibrolamellar – Incomplete resection • Stage IV • Small cell undifferentiated (“anaplastic”) – Metastatic disease

Hepatoblastoma Hepatoblastoma Definition of Prognostic Groups Prognostic Cytohistology Stage I only
• Favorable Histology • Favorable – Pure fetal type, completely resected (stage I) – Pure fetal histology with minimal mitoses • “Unfavorable” Histology • zero mitoses (Haas et al.) – All other types and stages • <2 mitoses per 10 HPF (Ortega et al.) • Unfavorable – All other histologic types
