Kidney tumours: a parent's guide

Information and support for when your child is diagnosed with a Wilms tumour or other types of kidney tumours. This booklet contains information about the different types of childhood kidney cancer, the treatments that are used and their possible side effects. It also discusses how a cancer diagnosis can affect you, your child and the rest of the family.

Although many children with cancer can be cured, it is devastating to hear that your child has cancer. This booklet provides general information about kidney cancer (renal tumours) that occur in children. It is designed to provide a reference to the information you have been given already, or will be given in the future, and will act as a reminder of discussions you have had with your child’s treatment team. Whilst this information may answer some of your questions, your child’s specialist doctor and/or nurse will give you more detailed information, and your child’s individual case should always be discussed with the team of healthcare professionals caring for your child.
