Nephron Sparing Surgery for Unilateral Wilms Tumor in Children with Predisposing Syndromes: Single Center Experience Over 10 Years

Abstract

Nephron sparing surgery appears safe for patients with unilateral Wilms tumor associated with predisposing syndrome(s), allowing for the preservation of renal function and good oncologic outcomes for the available followup time. If more studies confirm our observation, current recommendations for the surgical treatment of Wilms tumor may need to reemphasize the value of attempting nephron sparing surgery in this patient population.
