Characteristics and survival of 750 children diagnosed with a renal tumor in the first seven months of life: A collaborative study by the SIOP/GPOH/SFOP, NWTSG, and UKCCSG Wilms tumor study groups

Abstract

Renal tumors diagnosed in the first 7 months of life generally have an excellent prognosis though histology is an important prognostic factor. In the first 2 months of life the prevalence of CMN is high. The relative occurrence of WT increases rapidly with age thereafter. Bilateral tumors are usually WT. Tumors with metastases at diagnosis are usually MRTK.
