Overview
Screening can be very helpful to diagnose wilms tumor in high risk patients.Screening is done with serial abdominal ultrasonography.
Screening
- Screening can be very helpful to diagnose wilms tumor in high risk patients.[1]
- High risk patients include:
- Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
- Children with WAGR syndrome
- Screening is done with serial abdominal ultrasonography.[2]
- Serial abdominal ultrasonography is done as follows:
- Children suffering from beckwith-wiedemann syndrome:
- Ultrasonography every three months until age seven years.
- Children suffering with WAGR and WT1-related syndromes:
- Ultrasonography every three months until age five years
- Siblings of an individual with familial Wilms tumor:
- Ultrasonography every three months until age eight years.
- Offspring of survivors of bilateral Wilms tumor:
- Ultrasonography every three months until age eight years.
- Children suffering from beckwith-wiedemann syndrome:
