Rationale: The UKW3 trial compared biopsy/pre-operative chemotherapy immediate nephrectomy and afforded the opportunity to examine the influence of ous retroperitoneal biopsy and other factors on local and distant relapse of Wilms (WT).Methods: Patients with unilateral WT (stages I-IV) excluding metachronous relapse or progressive disease were eligible. Metastatic and 'inoperable' tumours were biopsied 'Local' was defined as relapse within the abdomen, except for liver metastases considered 'distant' relapse, together with other haematogenous routes. Uni- and multivariable estimated the risk factors for relapse.Results: Overall, 285/635 (44.9%) patients had a biopsy. With a median follow-up 10.1 years, 35 (5.5%) patients experienced a 'local', 15 a combined (2.4%) and 60 (9.4%) a 'distant' relapse. On univariate analysis, biopsy, anaplasia and tumour size were associated an increased risk of local relapse. On multivariable analysis, anaplasia and tumour remained significant for local relapse whereas the elevated risk of biopsy (hazards (HR) = 1.80: 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97-3.32, p = 0.060) was marginal. Age, anaplasia, tumour size, lymph nodes metastases and stage, but not biopsy, were individually associated with increased risk of distant relapse but only age and anaplasia remained significant following multivariable analysis.Conclusions: The UKW3 trial provides some reassurance that biopsy should not automatically lead to 'upstaging' of WT. Further assessment of this controversial area is required. Comparison of local relapse rates in a multinational trial in which the United Kingdom (UK) continued the practice of routinely biopsying all patients in contrast to the standard European approach will afford this opportunity and is planned.
