Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Wilms’ tumour (nephroblastoma) is the most common malignant tumour of kidney in children and one of the 2 most common solid tumours located outside of the central nervous system. Nephroblastoma has a very good prognosis, but some histological types like blastemal-type require qualification to a high-risk group and intensification of treatment. We present the cases of 3 children diagnosed with nephroblastoma, blastemal-type. The first girl’s treatment was unsuccessful, as there were 4 cancer recurrences. The second girl had primarily metachronous form of nephroblastoma, but during recurrence the blastemal-type was diagnosed. Despite intensive treatment, it ended with failure. The third girl had a tumour in the left kidney, which was transformed from the bilateral nephroblastomatosis. She remains in remission; the therapy ended on February 2018.
