title: Pediatric genitourinary tumors.
abstract: Advances in our knowledge of pediatric genitourinary tumors are being made at both the basic science and clinical levels. The molecular mechanisms underlying these pediatric malignancies are being uncovered and will aid in uncovering novel treatments. Because of the high success rate in treating these tumors, treatment options are being modified to decrease both short- and long-term morbidity, while maintaining the improved survival.
