Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer and accounts for approximately 2% of all cancer cases worldwide every year. Mortality rates are now estimated at nearly 200,000 people per year. Its management is multidisciplinary, often involving urology, nephrology, and medical oncology, among other specialisms. Further, there are more options now than ever before for treating patients afflicted with this disease. Traditional modalities such as surgery remain the mainstay in many settings; however, less invasive interventional options such as cryotherapy and ablation are also available. Additionally, systemic therapy has revolutionized treatment outcomes for renal cell carcinoma patients, but there is room for further innovation. Lastly, discoveries at the genetic level have provided practitioners with a wealth of information on how the disease can be caused and targeted. For this Special Issue, we invite papers from a variety of backgrounds on topics including, but not limited to, the genetics, surgical outcomes, systemic therapy, and social disparities of the disease.
