Can a wilms tumor reoccur?

Yes: Depending on the biology of the tumor, that is whether it is a favorable histology or unfavorable histology, the spread of the disease and treatment, the tumor can reoccur. Usually the kidney is removed as part of the operation, so if it recurs in the same area it may be secondary to local spread.

The survival: And control rates of "favorable histology" is extraordinary and recurrence unlikely, but these outcomes are less certain with "unfavorable histology". They are still very good but ask the care-giving team the histology question.
