Study hypothesis
1. To continue a risk-adapted stratification of therapeutic intensity, incorporating response to pre-operative chemotherapy, in all children with Wilms tumour and other renal tumours of childhood
2. To test the treatment hypothesis that doxorubicin is not necessary in patients with intermediate risk tumours and local stage II or III by a multicentre prospective randomised trial
3. To determine prospectively the prognostic significance of specific histological subtypes following pre-operative chemotherapy, as specified in the protocol. In particular, the study aims to: confirm the adverse prognostic significance of the blastemal predominant subtypes and whether this can be offset by intensifying therapy and investigate the hypothesis that the epithelial and stromal-predominant subtypes have a favourable prognosis and investigate the prognostic significance of the percentage necrosis after pre-operative chemotherapy in relation to the type and amount of residual viable tumour.
4. To minimise acute and late toxicity without jeopardising event free and overall survival by reducing treatment for: patients with focal anaplasia, and patients with stage I, intermediate risk tumours
5. To determine prospectively the prognostic significance of tumour volume following pre-operative chemotherapy and its relation to histological subtype
6. To determine prospectively the prognostic significance of specimen weight at time of nephrectomy and its relation to histological subtype
7. To reduce the number of drug administrations, hospital visits and thereby costs in the preoperative phase
