Wilms' tumor is a rare disease, one in which most physicians have little or no experience treating. Therefore, it is important to go to a children's cancer center where your child can receive the latest treatments from an experienced team of multispecialty experts. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has a long history of treating children with Wilms' tumor, caring for between five and ten children with the disease each year. Our treatment team sees more Wilms' tumor cases than physicians typically see at most hospitals. And our doctors have specialized expertise, acquired by treating the more difficult and challenging cases, including bilateral Wilms' tumors. Our team has experience with unusual needs like the use of intraoperative radiation therapy for problematic tumors.
