Summary

This study looked back at 72 children treated for Wilms tumor (a kidney cancer) that had spread into the vena cava, the large vein carrying blood to the heart. Researchers reviewed medical records from 1999 to 2019 to understand how surgery was managed and what complications occurred. The goal is to create better surgical guidelines for this rare and complex condition.
