Renal tumors in children are growths on the kidneys. The most common type is Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma), followed by rarer tumors like mesoblastic nephroma or renal cell carcinoma. Early surgical resection paired with chemotherapy yields excellent cure rates.
Pediatric renal tumors develop early in childhood due to:
Common clinical signs of a renal tumor include:
Paediatric renal tumors, such as Wilms' tumor, are highly aggressive but also highly curable if detected and treated early. Rapid surgical intervention, combined with oncology protocols, is essential to remove the tumor and prevent metastasis. Early treatment significantly increases survival rates and the likelihood of preserving healthy kidney tissue.
We work within a multidisciplinary oncology board to provide integrated care. Our surgical approach aims for complete tumor resection while striving for nephron-sparing surgery (partial nephrectomy) whenever safe. We provide comprehensive support to families navigating cancer treatment, ensuring coordinated care with paediatric oncologists for chemotherapy and radiation as needed.
Surgical removal of the entire affected kidney and surrounding tissues to ensure complete tumor clearance.
Removal of only the tumor, preserving the remaining healthy kidney tissue (for bilateral or specific cases).
Collaborative management with oncologists to shrink the tumor before surgery or eliminate remaining cells post-op.
Comprehensive imaging and blood tests to map the tumor and check for any spread, ensuring the most effective surgical plan.
Precise removal of the tumor. We utilize minimally invasive techniques (Laparoscopic/Robotic) when appropriate for faster recovery.
Close monitoring in our specialized pediatric unit, followed by a personalized long-term surveillance plan.
"Finding out our son had a kidney tumor was the scariest moment of our lives. Dr. Chowdhary's surgical skill and calm demeanor saved him."
"Expert hands and a heart of gold. The partial nephrectomy was successful, and our daughter's kidney function is perfect today."
"We traveled from abroad for our child's surgery. Dr. Chowdhary's reputation is well-deserved; he is a true expert in pediatric oncology surgery."
"The laparoscopic surgery for our baby's condition was so precise. Dr. Chowdhary's confidence gave us immense peace of mind."
"We traveled from another city just for Dr. Chowdhary. His approach is very scientific and methodical yet very caring."
"The nursing staff and Dr. Sujit are a fantastic team. They handled our infant's surgery with so much care and warmth."
"The best decision we made for our child's health. Dr. Chowdhary is incredibly patient and explained everything so well."
Renal tumors in children require specialized expertise that balances aggressive tumor removal with the preservation of long-term kidney health.
Renal tumors, primarily Wilms tumors (nephroblastoma), account for about 5% of all childhood cancers and are highly treatable.
The most common symptom is a painless, firm swelling or lump in the abdomen, sometimes accompanied by blood in the urine, fever, or high blood pressure.
Yes, in most cases, a complete nephrectomy (removal of the affected kidney and tumor) is performed, while protecting the opposite healthy kidney.
Chemotherapy is almost always part of the treatment, used either before surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to clear any remaining cells.
Yes, a single healthy kidney grows larger and functions perfectly, allowing the child to lead a completely normal, active life without restrictions.
With modern multi-disciplinary treatment (surgery and chemotherapy), the cure rate for Wilms tumor is excellent, exceeding 90%.
Regular follow-up with abdominal ultrasounds, chest X-rays, and blood tests is scheduled to monitor kidney function and ensure no recurrence.
Surgical resection of Wilms tumor is highly effective and saves lives. Schedule a consultation today.
