What is Wilms’ Tumor?

Wilms’ Tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is the most common type of kidney cancer in children. It develops in one or both kidneys and usually presents as a painless abdominal mass. With early detection and proper treatment, Wilms’ Tumor is highly curable.

Causes and Risk Factors

While the exact cause is unknown, Wilms’ Tumor has been linked to:

  • Genetic mutations

  • Family history of kidney tumors

  • Congenital syndromes like:

    • WAGR syndrome

    • Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

    • Denys-Drash syndrome

  • Birth defects involving the urinary tract

Symptoms of Wilms’ Tumor

  • A painless, firm abdominal lump

  • Swelling or fullness in the belly

  • Fever

  • Blood in urine (hematuria)

  • Loss of appetite

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • High blood pressure

Since many children are otherwise healthy, it’s often detected during a routine checkup or by a parent.

Diagnosis and Evaluation in Ghaziabad

  • Abdominal Ultrasound

  • CT or MRI Scan of the abdomen

  • Chest imaging (to check for spread)

  • Blood and urine tests

  • Biopsy or surgical removal for confirmation

Staging is essential to plan treatment effectively.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the stage and size of the tumor and may include:

  • Surgical removal of the kidney (nephrectomy)

  • Chemotherapy (pre- and post-surgery)

  • Radiation therapy (in advanced or metastatic cases)

  • Long-term follow-up for recurrence or late effects

Most children respond well to a multidisciplinary treatment plan.
