Résumé
BACKGROUND: A secondary end point of the NBL90 protocol (Rubie H et al. Pediatr Oncol 2001;36:247-250) was the concern in this infant population for possible carboplatin-(CBDCA) induced late side effects including impaired renal and hearing functions. PROCEDURE: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular function (TF), pure tone audiometry (PTA), high-frequency, and transient evoked-otoacoustic emission were prospectively assessed in 30 children alive and disease-free 6 years after the end of the treatment. RESULTS: Median age at diagnosis and at assessment was 4.7 months and 7 years, respectively. Blood pressure was < or =97.5 centile in all children. The mean estimated GFR was 114 +/- 13 ml/min/1.73 m(2) by Schwartz formula [range 87-145]. TF assessment failed to demonstrate any impairment. 29/30 children had grade 0 ototoxicity and all transient evoked otoacoustic emission were normal. CONCLUSIONS: With a 6-year follow-up the combination of VP16 and carboplatin given at conventional doses is safe on renal and hearing functions in infants with unresectable neuroblastomas treated according to SFOP NB90.
