Over a 3-year period (1984-1987), 57 cases of Wilms' tumour (nephroblastoma) were diagnosed and managed at the Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare. Two-thirds of the patients were younger than 4 years of age. The majority of patients presented with advanced disease, most likely the result of delayed and late presentation. In spite of this, and with a multimodal approach to management, results obtained were fairly good and compare favourably with results obtained elsewhere in developed countries. Forty-four of the 57 patients are presently alive and disease free 10 to greater than 36 months after presentation. Overall, 2-year relapse-free survival was 64.9%.
在1984年至1987年的3年期间，哈拉雷的帕里伦亚瓦医院诊断并治疗了57例威尔姆斯瘤（肾母细胞瘤）。三分之二的患者年龄小于4岁。大多数患者就诊时已处于疾病晚期，很可能是就诊延迟所致。尽管如此，采用多模式治疗方法取得的效果相当不错，与发达国家其他地方取得的结果相比毫不逊色。57例患者中有44例目前存活，自就诊后10至超过36个月无疾病复发。总体而言，2年无复发生存率为64.9%。
