Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Nephrology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Wilms tumor is a significant pediatric cancer.
  • Multimodality therapies have reduced morbidity and mortality.
  • Increased understanding of disease biology and genetics guides treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for Wilms tumor.
  • To highlight advancements in risk-based treatment approaches.
  • To discuss the evolving role of surgery and chemotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic and staging modalities.
  • Analysis of multimodality treatment strategies.
  • Evaluation of current therapeutic trial designs focusing on biological features.

Main Results:

  • Effective diagnosis and therapies have decreased Wilms tumor morbidity and mortality.
  • Risk-based treatment, informed by epidemiology and genetics, is improving patient assessment.
  • Primary nephrectomy is valuable for diagnosis and staging; primary chemotherapy with delayed resection is preferred for complex cases.

Conclusions:

  • Wilms tumor management has advanced significantly.
  • Future trials will stratify patients based on biological tumor features.
  • Surgery alone may be suitable for select cases of favorable histology Wilms tumor.
