Description
Summary:	Pediatric renal tumors are among the most common pediatric solid malignancies. Surgical resection is a key component in the multidisciplinary therapy for children with kidney tumors. Therefore, it is imperative that surgeons caring for children with renal tumors fully understand the current standards of care in order to provide appropriate surgical expertise within this multimodal framework. Fortunately, the last 60 years of international, multidisciplinary pediatric cancer cooperative group studies have enabled high rates of cure for these patients. This review will highlight the international surgical approaches to pediatric patients with kidney cancer to help surgeons understand the key differences and similarities between the European (International Society of Pediatric Oncology) and North American (Children's Oncology Group) recommendations.
