Abstract

Statistically evaluating the influence of a histological grading, respectively of morphological differences on prognosis of nephroblastomas and neuroblastomas, better chances for survival become evident not only for earlier clinical stages, but also for nephroblastomas with high differentiation, or neuroblastomas with signs for differentiation. Only for neuroblastomas a relevant predeliction of tumors with signs of differentiation for the early clinical stage I is present. Combined subclassification according to clinical stages and histological grades results in 3 risk groups with different chances for survival. These 3 groups may play a role for specific therapeutic considerations.
