Additional information
Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation) for Pediatric Wilms’ Tumor at Sheba Hospital
Sheba Medical Center – Advanced, Personalized Transplant Care for Children
At Sheba Medical Center, we understand how overwhelming it can be for families to face a diagnosis of Wilms’ tumor. As one of the most common kidney cancers in children, it is often highly treatable, but in some cases, more advanced care is needed.
For children with high-risk, relapsed, or treatment-resistant Wilms’ tumor, Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation) is a part of a comprehensive treatment approach offering an additional option aimed at improving long-term outcomes.
Our pediatric transplant program combines world-class expertise, innovative therapies, and compassionate, family-centered care to support children and their families throughout every stage of treatment.
When is a Bone Marrow Transplant Needed?
Bone marrow transplantation is not routinely required for most children with Wilms’ tumor, but may be recommended in specific situations, including:
High-risk disease, particularly with spread beyond the kidney
Relapsed Wilms’ tumor, when the disease returns after initial treatment
Cases where a more intensive treatment strategy is needed
In these cases, BMT allows doctors to deliver high-dose chemotherapy to target cancer cells, followed by the infusion of healthy stem cells to restore bone marrow and support recovery.
Types of Transplant
Autologous Transplant (Child’s Own Cells)
This is the most commonly used transplant approach when BMT is part of treatment for Wilms’ tumor.
Stem cells are collected from the child before intensive therapy
High-dose chemotherapy is administered
The child’s own stem cells are reinfused to rebuild healthy bone marrow
This approach enables effective treatment while supporting safe recovery.
Advanced Pediatric Wilms’ Tumor Care
Treatment at Sheba is highly coordinated and tailored to each child:
Integration of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy with transplant strategies
