Optimizing first-line therapies to reduce the risk of permanent adverse effects is increasingly important in children treated for nonmetastatic, unilateral Wilms tumour. The long-term effects of radical nephrectomy on renal function have not been well studied but new data have given some insight into the lasting outcomes of this surgery.
