Wilms Tumor Survivorship: Does Childhood Cancer Treatment Predict Late-Term Adverse Effects?, Ava Bibergal
Wilms Tumor Survivorship: Does Childhood Cancer Treatment Predict Late-Term Adverse Effects?, Ava Bibergal
Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium
Abstract
Background: Wilms tumor is the leading cancer to affect the kidneys in children most commonly between the age of 3 and 5 years old. Treatment of Wilms tumor typically consists of chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of the two – which are often successful in eradicating the cancer. However, current treatment options often leave patients with a high risk of late-term adverse effects such as cardiac diseases or secondary cancers later in life. Wilms’ tumor patients currently have a 90% survival rate from their disease, however face a future of indeterminate health problems due to their treatment regimen.

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tyrosine kinase (TK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) inhibitors are common first-line (1 L) treatments for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Despite treatment availability, the 5-year survival rate in patients diagnosed at the metastatic stage is only ≈ 10%. To gain contemporary insights into RCC treatment trends that may inform clinical, scientific and payer considerations, treatment patterns and adverse events (AEs) associated with 1 L therapy were examined in a retrospective, longitudinal, population-based, observational study of patients with mRCC.
METHODS: US administrative claims data (Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Databases) were used to …
