Özet
Two patients presenting with advanced Wilms' tumor extending to inferior vena cava anal right atrium, were successfully treated with chemotherapy and surgery. The first case presented with a right renal mass and intraatrial tumor extension. The original mass regressed 28 % in volume while the thrombus remained at the vena cava as it was before chemotherapy. Surgery was performed via laparotomy and sternotomy. The second case presented with bilateral Wilms' tumor and intracaval extension up to the right atrium. In this case, both renal masses and intracaval thrombus well regressed (up to 80 %) with chemotherapy. Surgical excision of the both masses and removal of intracaval thrombus were performed via laparotomy. The results obtained with preoperative chemotherapy as in these two patients mediates strongly against difficult surgery being undertaken as primary treatment for such patients.
