Abstract
The authors report a case of Stage IV, unfavorable histo-logic type adult nephroblastoma. The patient was treated with multimodal therapy: combination chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and etoposide succeeded by nephrectomy and radiation therapy. After a disease-free period of 27 months, a para-rectal relapse was treated by surgery, high-dose chemotherapy, and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The patient is alive and disease-free 3.5 years after BMT.Keywords
