Can nephroblastoma start out with favorable histology, but for some reason, turn anaplastic? any help appreciated!

Histo can change: Survival with nephroblastoma will change with duration and nodal status. Children with Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma) who have a particular risk of failure at relapse or at primary diagnosis where at least 15% presented with regional nodal metastasis should be treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue if needed. Nearly ½ will remain NED at 5 yrs.
