Wilms' Tumour Articles

ADC (Apparent Diffusion Coefficient) derived from Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) has shown promise as a non-invasive quantitative imaging biomarker in Wilms' tumours. However, many non-Gaussian models could be applied to DWI.

Paediatric renal tumours include a broad range of neoplasms which largely differ, but also overlap to a smaller extent, with adult kidney cancer. These include the embryonal tumour nephroblastoma, which accounts for the majority of cases of kidney cancer in the first decade of life and, despite boasting a cure in ~ 90% cases, still presents clinical challenges in a small proportion of cases.

Wilms' tumour (WT) is the most common childhood renal tumour. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a critical component of tumour microenvironments and contain two main subtypes, classically (M1) or alternatively (M2) activated macrophages.
