DEBORAH'S STORY

Wilms tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is a malignant (cancerous) tumor originating in the cells of the kidney. It is the most common type of renal (kidney) cancer in children. As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child, but most children with Wilms tumor can be cured of the disease. Wilms tumor is unrelated to adult kidney cancer.

​

Wilms tumor is characterized by:

- Abdominal swelling, often toward one side
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Constipation
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Large swollen veins across the abdomen
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Frequent urinary tract infections
