TI  - Surgical evaluation of lymph node metastases in Wilms' tumor.
PG  - 330-1
AB  - Because lymph node (LN) involvement continues to be an adverse prognostic factor 
      in the later National Wilms' Tumor Study (NWTS) trials, the NWTS-3 Surgical 
      Committee undertook a project to determine the accuracy of the present method of 
      sampling. The committee concludes that: (1) there is a relatively low potential 
      error rate (less than 10%) that would comprise adequate care when a policy of LN 
      sampling is followed; (2) this does not encourage routine radical LN dissections 
      in Wilms' tumor patients because of the well-known morbidities associated with 
      that procedure; and (3) LN sampling in all Wilms' tumor patients should be 
      performed with a high index of suspicion present in the mind of the operating 
      surgeon.
