## Abstract Wilms tumor affects approximately one child per 10,000 worldwide before the age of 15 years. Incidence rates appear to be slightly elevated for U.S. and African Blacks in comparison to Whites, but are only half as great among Asians. Several caseβcontrol studies have suggested that pate
Wilms tumor (WT), a sporadic and familial childhood kidney tumor, is genetically heterogeneous. One WT gene, WT1 at 11p13, has been cloned, but only a minority of WTs carry detectable mutations at that locus. WT1 can also be excluded as the predisposition gene in most WT families, implying the exist
## Abstract Wilms tumor (WT), an embryonic tumor arising from undifferentiated renal mesenchyme, has been a productive model for understanding the role of genes in both tumorigenesis and normal organogenesis. Approximately 2% of WT patients have a family history of WT, and even sporadic WT is thoug
A 17-month-old black male, who had bilateral Wilms tumor diagnosed nine months earlier, was presented for consideration of further therapy. He was first seen when eight months of age because of a right-sided abdominal mass. There was no hematuria and his blood pressure was normal at that time. The
Two well-documented cases of Wilms' tumor in adult patients are reported. Surgery remains the treatment of choice in stage I cases with favorable cell differentiation. Adjuvant therapy with chemotherapy or radiation may be necessary in patients beyond stage I or when the cell differentiation is more
