WHAT'S UP DOC? - Dr. Tranquilino Elicaño Jr. -
ANG Wilm’s tumor ay tinatawag ding nephroblatoma. Ito ay tumor na karaniwang tumatama sa mga batang may tatlong taon hanggang limang taong gulang. Ang pananakit ng tiyan ang kadalasang sintomas ng Wilm’s tumor. Sintomas din ang pagkakaroon ng lagnat at hematuria. Ang iba pang palatandaan ng Wilm’s tumor ay pulmonary metastases na nagiging dahilan ng pag-ubo. Palatandaan din ang hemptysis at dyspnea. Karamihan ay nagkakaroon ng papable abdominal mass at nagiging asymptomatic. Nagkakaroon din ng hypertension pero ito ay bihira.

Ginagamot ang Wilm’s tumor sa pamamagitan ng surgery at radical resection ng tumor. An important feature of the operation should be mobilization and careful inspection of the contraleral kidney in view of the significant incidence of bilateral tumor. Ang post operative radiation theraphy at chemotherapy ay maaari ring isagawa. Palliative treatment may take the form of chemotheraphy or local radiotheraphy to symptomatic disease. Para sa chemotheraphy ng sakit sa baga, maaaring bigyan ng 10 hanggang 12 GY mula pito hanggang sa maliit na fractions.
