Wilm's tumor

Wilm's tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a type of cancer that originates in the kidneys, primarily affecting children. It develops from immature kidney cells that grow uncontrollably, forming a mass or lump. The exact cause is unknown, but early detection and treatment are vital. Common signs include an abdominal swelling or mass, sometimes accompanied by pain, blood in the urine, or fever. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy to kill remaining cancer cells. With prompt and appropriate care, the prognosis for children with Wilm's tumor is generally favorable.
