Wilms tumour (also known as nephroblastoma) is a type of kidney cancer than mostly affects children. It mostly occurs in kids under 5. Often the child seems well at diagnosis and it is only picked up because someone notices a lump in their tummy. Treatment usually involved surgery to remove the entire kidney that has the tumour, and then chemotherapy to make sure there are no remnants of the tumour left. Overall the survival rates are good.
