== Pathology ==
{{SCC}};
Pathologically, a triphasic nephroblastoma comprises three elements:
* [[blastema]]
* [[mesenchyme]]
* [[epithelium]]


Wilms' tumor is a malignant tumor containing [[metanephric blastema]], stromal and epithelial derivatives. Characteristic is the presence of abortive tubules and glomeruli surrounded by a spindled cell stroma. The stroma may include striated [[muscle]], [[cartilage]], [[bone]], fat tissue, fibrous tissue. The tumor is compressing the normal kidney parenchyma. [http://www.pathologyatlas.ro/Wilms%20Tumor.html Pathology images]
{{SK}} Nephroblastoma


The mesenchymal component may include cells showing rhabdomyoid differentiation. The rhabdomyoid component may itself show features of malignancy ([[rhabdomyosarcoma]]tous Wilms).
==[[Wilms' tumor overview|Overview]]==
 
Wilms tumor may be separated into 2 prognostic groups based on pathologic characteristics:
* ''Favorable'' - Contains well developed components mentioned above
* ''[[Anaplastic]]'' - Contains diffuse anaplasia (poorly developed cells)

==[[Wilms' tumor historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


Mutations of  the [[WT1]] gene on chromosome 11 are observed in approximately 20% of Wilms' tumors.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Call K, Glaser T, Ito C, Buckler A, Pelletier J, Haber D, Rose E, Kral A, Yeger H, Lewis W |title=Isolation and characterization of a zinc finger polypeptide gene at the human chromosome 11 Wilms' tumor locus |journal=Cell |volume=60 |issue=3 |pages=509-20 |year=1990 |pmid=2154335}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Huff V |title=Wilms tumor genetics |journal=Am J Med Genet |volume=79 |issue=4 |pages=260-7 |year=1998 |pmid=9781905}}</ref> At least half of the Wilms' tumors with mutations in WT1 also carry mutations in CTNNB1, the gene encoding the proto-oncogene beta-catenin.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Maiti S, Alam R, Amos CI, Huff V |title=Frequent association of beta-catenin and WT1 mutations in Wilms tumors |journal=Cancer Res |volume=60 |issue=22 |pages=6288-92 |year=2000 |pmid=11103785}}</ref>

A gene on the X chromosome, WTX, is inactivated in up to 30% of Wilms' tumor cases, according to research published in 2007.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Rivera M, Kim W, Wells J, Driscoll D, Brannigan B, Han M, Kim J, Feinberg A, Gerald W, Vargas S, Chin L, Iafrate A, Bell D, Haber D |title=An X chromosome gene, WTX, is commonly inactivated in Wilms tumor |journal=Science |volume=315 |issue=5812 |pages=642-5 |year=2007 |pmid=17204608}}</ref>

<br clear="left"/>
== Staging and treatment ==


Staging is determined by combination of imaging studies, and pathologic findings if the tumor is operable (adapted from www.cancer.gov). Treatment strategy is determined by the stage:
==[[Wilms' tumor risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


===Stage I (43% of patients) ===
==[[Wilms' tumor screening|Screening]]==
For stage I Wilms' tumor, 1 or more of the following criteria must be met:
* Tumor is limited to the kidney and is completely excised.
* The surface of the renal capsule is intact.
* The tumor is not ruptured or biopsied (open or needle) prior to removal.
* No involvement of renal sinus vessels.
* No residual tumor apparent beyond the margins of excision.


Treatment: [[Nephrectomy]] + 18 weeks of [[chemotherapy]]
==[[Wilms' tumor natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
Outcome: 98% 4-year survival; 85% 4-year survival if [[anaplastic]]


===Stage II (23% of patients)===  
==Diagnosis==
For Stage II Wilms' tumor, 1 or more of the following criteria must be met:
[[Wilms' tumor staging|Staging]] | [[Wilms' tumor history and symptoms|History and Symptoms]] | [[Wilms' tumor physical examination|Physical Examination]] | [[Wilms' tumor laboratory findings|Laboratory Findings]] | [[x ray|X Ray]] | [[Wilms' tumor CT|CT]] | [[Wilms' tumor MRI|MRI]] | [[Wilms' tumor ultrasound|Ultrasound]] | [[Wilms' tumor other diagnostic studies|Other Diagnostic Studies]]
* Tumor extends beyond the kidney but is completely excised.
* No residual tumor apparent at or beyond the margins of excision.
* Any of the following conditions may also exist:
** Tumor involvement of the blood vessels of the renal sinus and/or outside the renal parenchyma.
** The tumor has been biopsied prior to removal or there is local spillage of tumor during surgery, confined to the flank.
 
Treatment: Nephrectomy + abdominal radiation + 24 weeks of chemotherapy
 
Outcome: 96% 4-year survival; 70% 4-year survival if anaplastic


===Stage III (23% of patients)===  
==Treatment==
For Stage III Wilms' tumor, 1 or more of the following criteria must be met:
[[Wilms' tumor medical therapy|Medical Therapy]] | [[Wilms' tumor surgery|Surgery]] | [[Wilms' tumor cost-effectiveness of therapy|Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy]] | [[Wilms' tumor future or investigational therapies|Future or Investigational Therapies]]
* Unresectable primary tumor.
* Lymph node metastasis.
* Positive surgical margins.
* Tumor spillage involving peritoneal surfaces either before or during surgery, or transected tumor thrombus.


Treatment: Abdominal radiation + 24 weeks of chemotherapy + nephrectomy after tumor shrinkage
==Case Studies==
:[[Wilms' tumor case study one|Case #1]]


Outcome: 95% 4-year survival; 56% 4-year survival if anaplastic
==Related Chapters==
 
===Stage IV (10% of patients) ===
Stage IV Wilms' tumor is defined as the presence of hematogenous metastases (lung, liver, bone, or brain), or lymph node metastases outside the abdomenopelvic region.
 
Treatment: Nephrectomy + abdominal radiation + 24 weeks of chemotherapy + radiation of metastatic site as appropriate
 
Outcome: 90% 4-year survival; 17% 4-year survival if anaplastic
 
===Stage V (5% of patients) ===
Stage V Wilms’ tumor is defined as bilateral renal involvement at the time of initial diagnosis.
Note: For patients with bilateral involvement, an attempt should be made to stage each side according to the above criteria (stage I to III) on the basis of extent of disease prior to biopsy. The 4-year survival was 94% for those patients whose most advanced lesion was stage I or stage II; 76% for those whose most advanced lesion was stage III.
Treatment: Individualized thereapy based on tumor burden
 
===Stage I-IV Anaplasia===
Children with stage I anaplastic tumors have an excellent prognosis (80-90% five-year survival). They can be managed with the same regimen given to stage I favorable histology patients.
 
Children with stage II through stage IV diffuse anaplasia, however, represent a higher-risk group. These tumors are more resistant to the chemotherapy traditionally used in children with Wilms’ tumor (favorable histology), and require more aggressive regimens.
 
== Treatment ==
Once a kidney tumor is found, surgery can find out whether or not the tumor is cancer. A sample of tissue from the tumor is sent to a pathologist, who looks at it under a microscope to check for signs of cancer. If the tumor is only in the kidney, it can be removed along with the whole kidney (a process called [[nephrectomy]]). If there are tumors in both kidneys or if the tumor has spread outside the kidney, a piece of the tumor will be removed.
