[Evaluation of the effectiveness of preoperative polychemotherapy of nephroblastomas in children by angiography, ultrasonic tomography and computed tomography].

Abstract

The results of preoperative polychemotherapy of nephroblastoma in 14 children are presented. Ultrasonic tomography, computed tomography and angiography were performed in all the patients before and after medication. The findings on the efficacy of polychemotherapy were assessed on the basis of surgical evidence and, in particular, resected material examination. A high diagnostic value of all the methods was demonstrated and criteria of the effectiveness of preoperative polychemotherapy as evaluated by application of ultrasonic and computed tomography and angiography were worked out. Optimal terms of carrying out diagnostic procedures in patients with nephroblastoma during preoperative treatment are suggested.
