Wilms tumor – also known as nephroblastoma – is a kidney cancer that predominantly affects young children (under age 5). It is the most common form of childhood kidney cancer. In the last few decades, research has made strong advances towards improving cure rates for children’s cancers. Unfortunately, progress is starting to slow down, and outcomes continue to be low for many advanced stage tumors and cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is home to the largest, cutting-edge pediatric research effort in the state of Michigan. We believe every child deserves a cure, and we have established the Center for Childhood Cancer to help us find different, better ways to cure childhood cancers.
