When Beatriz was 13 months old, she was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor, a rare kidney cancer that makes up about 6 percent of all childhood cancers. After Valley Children’s pediatric surgeons removed the mass, she began a comprehensive, fivemonth treatment plan of chemotherapy and radiation to kill any remaining cancerous tumor cells.

Beatriz is one of more than 120 children diagnosed with cancer each year in this region.
