Wilms Tumor — Ppt New
This write-up provides a comprehensive structure for a modern PowerPoint presentation on Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma), based on clinical resources like the Mayo Clinic StatPearls (NIH) 1. Introduction & Epidemiology Definition : A rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children; it is the most common type of pediatric renal malignancy. Peak Incidence : Most often diagnosed in children aged 3 to 4 years, becoming significantly less common after age 5. Statistics : Accounts for approximately 6–7% of all childhood cancers. Survival Rates : Advances in multidisciplinary care have brought the overall 5-year survival rate to approximately 90–92%. 2. Pathogenesis & Etiology : Thought to arise from abnormal embryological development of "nephrogenic rests" (immature kidney cells that persist after birth). : Associated with mutations in genes such as on chromosome 11. Associated Syndromes : Increased risk is seen in children with: WAGR Syndrome : Wilms tumor, Aniridia, Genitourinary anomalies, and Range of developmental delays. Denys-Drash Syndrome : Characterized by kidney disease and male pseudohermaphroditism. Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome : An overgrowth disorder. 3.

Slide 2: Introduction & Epidemiology
Definition: Most common primary malignant renal tumor of childhood. Origin: Embryonal renal stem cells (metanephric blastema). Epidemiology:
Incidence: ~1 in 10,000 children. Peak Age: 3–4 years old (rare in neonates and adults). Slight female predominance. This write-up provides a comprehensive structure for a
Key Stat: Accounts for ~6% of all childhood cancers.
Slide 3: Genetics & Associated Syndromes
Sporadic vs. Syndromic: ~10% of cases are associated with congenital anomalies/syndromes. Key Genes: Statistics : Accounts for approximately 6–7% of all
WT1 (Chromosome 11p13): Tumor suppressor gene. WT2 (Chromosome 11p15): Related to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (IGF2 overexpression).
