Did you know that our kidneys filter almost 113 to 144 litres of blood every day to flush out toxins from our body? There are several other vital functions that this organ performs in addition to this. However, some ailments can interrupt the smooth functioning of the kidneys. One such dangerous disease is known as Wilms tumour.

Also referred to as nephroblastoma, Wilms tumour is a rare form of cancer in the kidneys. It is considered to be the most common type of kidney cancer, primarily affecting children. Most often, children who are 3-5 years old are detected with Wilms’ tumour. It is sporadic in adults.
