- Abstract
The article identifies trends in the management of Wilms' Tumor. It is found that there is a significant difference in the timing of nephrectomy between Europe and North American clinicians. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is recommended to downstage tumors before nephrectomy. It is commenced solely on the basis that the lesion had the typical clinical and radiological features of Wilms' tumor and with no histological proof on biopsy.
