Abstract
Most children with Wilms' tumor can now expect remarkably good surviva l. Current protocols have placed greater emphasis on reducing the morb idity of treatment for low-risk patients reserving intensive treatment for selected high-risk patients. This review addresses recent advance s and current recommendations for the treatment of nephroblastoma. Con troversial issues regarding the surgical management of these children are also discussed.
