Radiologic and prognostic aspects of Wilms' tumour

Retrospectively the urographic findings, history, clinical signs and surgical/pathologic features of 46 Wilms' tumours were analysed. Impaired or no function of the kidney was associated with a high incidence of defects of the renal pelvis and invasion of the renal vein. A high rate of non-radically operated or inoperable tumours and high mortality was present in these cases. (Auth.)
