Abstract

The majority of pediatric renal tumors are Wilms’tumors. Of particular concern are those renal neoplasms carrying malignant potential. These entities are given particular attention in this chapter. Universally, partial and radical nephrectomies are used to treat both benign and malignant neoplasms. Chemotherapies have improved the prognosis of many malignant renal tumors, such as Wilms, but others, especially those carrying INI-1 mutations, remain difficult to treat and have high mortality rates. More molecular and genetic research is needed to fully understand and successfully treat this subset of childhood tumor.
