Is it possible to detect early symptoms of Wilms tumor?
Wilms’ tumor is a rare childhood form of kidney cancer also known as nephroblastoma. Only about five in a million American children will be diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor each year, mostly around age 3, but 10% of those children will die within five years of their diagnosis. For this reason, as with all cancers, it is important to catch the disease and begin treatment as early as possible.
