Wilms tumor
MONDO:0006058An embryonal neoplasm characterized by the presence of epithelial, mesenchymal, and blastema components. The vast majority of cases arise from the kidney. A small number of cases with morphologic features resembling Wilms tumor of the kidney have been reported arising from the ovary and the cervix.
Also known as: Wilms tumor, Wilms' tumor, Wilms' tumour, Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma), Wilms tumour (nephroblastoma)

New hope for kids with Hard-to-Treat cancers: targeted drug shows promise
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a drug called tazemetostat in 20 children whose cancers had come back or weren't responding to treatment. The children had specific gene changes (EZH2, SMARCB1, or SMARCA4) in their tumors. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink or slow the growth of these…

New stem cell transplant shows promise for kids with tough cancers
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a new way to do stem cell transplants in 23 children with cancers that came back or didn't respond to treatment. The method removes certain immune cells from the donor's stem cells to help the child's body recover faster and fight infections better. The goal was…
