TI  - Wilms' tumour in New Zealand 1960-1986.
PG  - 663-8
AB  - Between 1960 and 1986, 177 cases of Wilms' tumour were reported to the New 
      Zealand National Cancer Registry. There was an equal sex distribution and 93.2% 
      of patients were in the paediatric age group with a mean age of 3.4 years. The 
      mean symptom interval was 2.0 months and the majority of patients presented with 
      localised disease, although the incidence of advanced disease was greater than 
      that reported from other series. The 5-year survival rate for all cases was 
      52.5%. Data were divided into patients presenting before and after the 
      publication of the first National Wilms' Tumour Study (NWTS) in the United States 
      in 1976. In patients presenting after 1976 the diagnosis was based on histology 
      in 100%, compared to 58.6% in patients before 1977. Treatment was considered 
      curative in a greater proportion of the post-1976 group. Treatment modalities 
      reflected the recommendations of the NWTS and the 5-year survival rate of this 
      group was 78.3%, this being similar to that reported from the NWTS. Multivariate 
      analysis showed patient age, symptom interval, tumour stage and treatment (pre- 
      and post-NWTS) to be independent predictors of survival.
