SIX1 protein expression selectively identifies blastemal elements in Wilms tumor

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common renal neoplasm in children. Histologically, most WTs consist of three tissue elements: blastema, epithelium, and stroma. Some cases also show diffuse or focal anaplastic features.
