AbstractInvestigators from the International Society of Paediatric Oncology Renal Tumour Study Group (SIOP-RTSG) report on outcomes of children with bilateral Wilms tumour treated on the SIOP 2001 study. They demonstrate that vincristine and actinomycin-D induction chemotherapy is sufficient in a subset of children, but most required additional agents during their treatment.

Slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE), also known as a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), (plural: epiphyses) is a relatively common condition affecting the physis of the proximal femur in adolescents. It is one of the commonest hip abnormalities in adolescence and is bilateral in 20-40% of cases 10. Slipped upper femoral epiphysis is more common in boys than girls and more common in African Caribbean patients than Caucasian patients.

Carcinoid tumors are a type of neuroendocrine tumor that can occur in a number of locations. Carcinoid tumors arise from endocrine amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) cells that can be found throughout the gastrointestinal tract as well as other organs (e.g. lung). In general, they are slow-growing tumors but are nevertheless capable of metastasizing.
