An antibody to pure human renin and an immunoperoxidase technique were used to stain immunoreactive renin in nephroblastomas. In an unselected series of surgically removed nephroblastomas immunoreactive renin was found in 10 of 19 tumours (53%). Tissue obtained at necropsy from 12 cases of disseminated nephroblastoma was also studied, and immunoreactive renin in metastatic tumours was found in ...

Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) is the most common primary malignant renal tumor in children. Rarely, it may present in the adult age group. This is a case report of a diagnosed case of a 29-yearold female presenting with right-sided flank pain and hematuria. Abdominal sonogram revealed a right renal mass measuring 1.55 × 1.88 × 1.62 cm on the lower pole of the right kidney. CT scan showed a 2.1 ×...

Wilms tumor, or nephroblastoma, is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary tract in children, but is rarely found in adults. Here, we report the first case of a female patient with a Wilms tumor, diagnosed during pregnancy, who underwent radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy before and after delivering a healthy child. Generally, treatment should follow the guidelines established...

Neoplasms are rare in pregnant women, however they are always a challenging diagnostic and curative problem. We present a case of a benign kidney tumor (angiomyolipoma) imitating nephroblastoma on magnetic resonance diagnosed in pregnancy. Cesarean section was performed in 29. gestotic week followed immediately by right radical nephrectomy.

The development of computational models for simulating tumor growth and response to treatment has gained significant momentum during the last few decades. At the dawn of the era of personalized medicine, providing insight into complex mechanisms involved in cancer and contributing to patient-specific therapy optimization constitute particularly inspiring pursuits. The in silico oncology communi...
