Pediatric genitourinary tumors.
Each year advances are made in the clinical evaluation and treatment of genitourinary tumors in children. Our understanding of cellular, molecular, and genetic processes in tumorigenesis is evolving rapidly. In addition, knowledge concerning long-term outcome and complications associated with current treatments is increasing. In this article, we review recent literature on pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms' tumor, and testicular tumors.
