The tumour is associated with undifferentiated embryonic lesions called nephrogenic rests (NRs) or, when diffuse, nephroblastomatosis. WT or NRs can occur in both kidneys, termed bilateral disease, found in only 5-8\% of cases. Management of bilateral WT presents a major clinical challenge in terms of maximising survival, preserving renal function and understanding underlying genetic risk. In this review, we compile clinical data from 545 published cases of bilateral WT and discuss recent progress in understanding the molecular basis of bilateral WT and its associated precursor NRs in the context of the latest radiological, surgical and epidemiological features.}, author = {Charlton, J and Irtan, S and Bergeron, C and Pritchard-Jones, K}, url = {http://doi.org/10.1017/erm.2017.8}, keywords = {Science \& Technology, Life Sciences \& Biomedicine, Biochemistry \& Molecular Biology, Medicine, Research \& Experimental, Research \& Experimental Medicine, NEPHRON-SPARING SURGERY, SINGLE-CENTER EXPERIENCE, APPARENT DIFFUSION-COEFFICIENT, MOSAIC VARIEGATED ANEUPLOIDY, BECKWITH-WIEDEMANN-SYNDROME, CANCER-STUDY-GROUP, OF-THE-LITERATURE, ROUND-CELL TUMOR, BETA-CATENIN, IMAGING CHARACTERISTICS} }
