ABSTRACT
Wilms tumor (WT), or nephroblastoma, is the most common primary malignant renal tumor of childhood. It is an embryonal tumor that develops from remnants of immature kidney. There are approximately 500 new WT cases diagnosed in the United States every year. Advances in multimodal therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy given according to risk stratification have allowed most patients to achieve survival rates in excess of 90%.
