Wilms' Tumor
 Wilms' Tumor is a rare type of kidney cancer that usually affects children. The cause is still unclear but the doctor believes the tumor begins to grow as the fetus develops in the womb. The error in the DNA allows the kidney cell to grow and divide uncontrollably forming a tumor. Birth defect syndrome also increases the risk of developing Wilms Tumor.
