Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Genitourinary Oncology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Multimodality therapy (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) has dramatically improved outcomes for childhood genitourinary cancers.
  • Wilms' tumor is a leading example of successful pediatric cancer treatment through collaborative study protocols.
  • High survival rates have shifted focus to long-term complications and quality of life for survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review publications on pediatric genitourinary tumors since 1992.
  • To highlight advancements in treatment and understanding of these cancers.
  • To discuss the evolving focus on survivorship and molecular aspects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature published from 1992 onwards.
