Musculoskeletal System Dysfunction in Patients in Long-Term Remission of Wilms Nephroblastoma

Publication

Abstract

The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to describe the multidisciplinary program of childhood cancer survivors in their young adult age in an adult-based ambulatory medical setting and to report the late sequelae of the pathology. The hypothesis is that the treatment with all three modalities (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery) causes the development of the late effects in varying degrees.

The goal of this study was to investigate the typical musculoskeletal system changes of survivors of Wilms Nephroblastoma who had previously received their basic treatment more than 5 years ago.Clinics at the University Hospital Motol, Prague where previous oncology treatments were completed between January 1st 1980 and December 31st 2004 at the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Prague.
