Renal tumors

Renal tumors comprise roughly 6% of all childhood malignancies. Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal tumor. Less common renal tumors include clear cell sarcoma of the kidney, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney, and renal cell carcinoma. Wilms tumor is known to be associated with multiple genetic disorders, including Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, Denys–Drash syndrome, and Wilms tumor, Aniridia, Genitourinary malformations, and a Range of developmental disorders syndrome. Treatment for pediatric renal tumors is multimodal and requires close collaboration between subspecialists with expertise in oncology, surgery, and radiation oncology.
