Curr Opin Oncol. 1999 May;11(3):218-25. doi: 10.1097/00001622-199905000-00015.

Abstract

Advances in our knowledge of pediatric genitourinary tumors are being made at a rapid pace at both the basic science and clinical levels. As the molecular mechanisms underlying these malignancies are being uncovered, treatment options are being modified to decrease morbidity and, ultimately, increase survival. This article reviews the recent literature on Wilms' tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and testicular tumors.
