Curr Opin Oncol. 1997 May;9(3):307-12. doi: 10.1097/00001622-199709030-00015.

Abstract

Each year advances are made in the clinical evaluation and treatment of genitourinary tumors in children. Our understanding of cellular, molecular, and genetic processes in tumorigenesis is evolving rapidly. In addition, knowledge concerning long-term outcome and complications associated with current treatments is increasing. In this article, we review recent literature on pediatric genitourinary tumors, including Wilms' tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and testicular tumors.
