Abstract: | In the last 2 decades, important advances in the treatment of Wilms' tumor have been made. The remarkable improvement in survival in these patients has been the product of new surgical techniques, classification of the tumors into prognostic stages upon initial presentation and the tailoring of chemotherapy and radiation therapy thus permitted. A brief historical perspective is presented with a review of the current treatment and ongoing studies. |
