Abstract

The impact of biopsying Wilms tumour (WT) at diagnosis on assigning the tumour stage and recommended treatment remains controversial. To address this important question, we analysed the potential association of all types of biopsy with local recurrence in patients treated in the SIOP WT 2001 trial, where needle biopsy was permitted without 'upstaging' the tumour to stage III. Only open biopsy required treatment as stage III.
